Confessions of a Self-Proclaimed Slut: Pt. 2
Take a moment and think about your high school sexual education class. What sort of sex ed was it? Was it medically accurate or based on abstinence? I grew up in the Bible Belt in a small town in the Appalachian Mountains. My sexual education lasted for one week and was taught by a local youth pastor (not even a teacher or anyone with any medical training). He was nice, and half of my class was part of his youth group, but I had a lot of questions that were left unanswered. This was a major problem because I still had no clue about sex and felt like I was being left in the dark. Sure, I knew how babies were made, but I didn't know about STDs, contraception, or even consent. There I was at 14 with no idea what was going on with my own body. I knew I couldn't be the only student that felt this way.

How Do I Know If She Will Be Into Sex on Our First Date?
It’s one of the weightiest questions that can crop up during any initial encounter. Males, driven as they are by their hormones, often begin wondering about that night’s sleeping arrangements from the moment their date sits down at the outset of the date. Perhaps the same thought crosses his partner’s mind but she’ll be more likely to be inspired by the sense of decorum that cautions against leaping into the sack at the earliest opportunity.

No More Abstinence Education
Do you remember asking your parents about where babies come from? Did you ever hear your mom say that you came from her tummy? Did you ever watch cartoons or hear your parents talk about a stork that delivers babies? I'm sure to assume that most of the time you asked about sex or wanted to know about how reproduction happens, you were sheltered or shut down because you were so young and couldn't possibly expect to know about it. When parents do this, it's ignorance on their part to assume that the child will grow up to wait and have sex when they are married. But what they don't know is that this child will hide from their own parents they are sexually active, that they look up porn on the internet or that they read about sex and how it's performed. It's a form of abstinence education in the home that needs to stop. Instead of helping a child pursue the love of their own bodies and being informed on adult choices they would be making later in life, we're leading them down a path that could end in more STD's and STI's being transmitted or worse, pregnancy.

The Growth of Sexual Identity
I recently met with my high school senior English teacher to talk about writing, sex, and sexual identity. (Yes, I still talk to both my 11th and 12th grade English teachers and yes, we talk about sex… sometimes. LOL) She reminded of my senior research project and that the topic I chose was “erotica.” (WTF?!) I couldn’t believe that she even remembered that paper! I was one of 500 students out of her high school teaching career and she remembered MY paper… Needless to say, I was shocked and honored. She also told me that she still had the original and was willing to give me a copy if I was interested in having one. YES!!!

Stories from a Stripper
For much as you’re praised and ogled over, lusted for and professed love for, and gave presents to...It can mean absolutely nothing when you, yourself, feel like garbage inside. I see these women and girls that I am not attracted to one bit. To each their own, right? But some of these girls in the field are so blazingly in love with themselves it inspires me to live more authentically and not give a fuck. They are teaching me how to make what you don’t like about yourself seem like the most natural and beautiful aspect of your personhood.

I'm Addicted to Porn
I am addicted to porn. And I’m female. Does that shock you? For many it does. There’s a general misconception that porn addiction is exclusive to men, as if women are invulnerable to the habit. Consider it another double standard in regards to sexuality and the expression of it in men and women. But as a person living through the experience, I don’t believe anyone is exempt from its temptations.

Watch the Porn, Bro
TMI? Never. I was six years old the first time I masturbated. Sounds weird, right? A child knowing how to do something like that? Makes you think, was I raised in a weird home? Was there something wrong with me? Did I experience something I shouldn't have? The answer to all of that is no, definitely not. I grew up in a completely normal household, with four siblings, a dog, and parents who loved and still love each other to death. I went to regular public school, had birthday parties, barbecues all the time, went on vacations and shit, I was even a Girl Scout. I wasn't deprived of anything, and I had a regular, small group of friends. To be honest, I’m not sure when it all started. But, what I do know, is that my young fascination and love for pleasure has led me to be one of the not-so-many people who are comfortable watching and talking about porn, sex, and masturbation.
