The Non-Sex Therapist Sex Talk, Part 1

So the polar opposites of sex is very interesting to me because you have one side where people are still squeamish about sex, even if they're having it, they are still afraid to talk about it. They're still afraid to explore it. They're still afraid to look into different ideas about sexuality. And the reason that's interesting to me is because we have come a long way as a society for gender rights, civil rights, humane rights, all of those things

I’m not a licensed sex therapist but I’m gonna talk about it like I am anyway.

We appreciate you & what you bring to Swell. 🙏🏽❤️💯💭

And they consider sexuality to be something that if it was open to the public to just be so nonchalant and free, would be imagined as a radical thing. So they're very afraid of that because they can't contain it as well. You got to think about any time a large majority of the society does not say agree or they're not open to something. Nine times out of ten, it was preconditioned or pre programmed by different means throughout society just to drive the majority of opinion

And nevertheless, as Durdow has mentioned, I think you mentioned it as well, because Western society is so largely Christian based or religiously based, we still have issues discussing about sexuality. And even when we're looking at, we can go across the board on any religious spectrum, any religious space. And when we look at them, all of them really do not speak on sexuality. Sexuality is a very private thing, and it's not something that is really brought out into the public or shown

So we're in this conversation, but there's never enough and I welcome this particular one because it feels fresh and audacious and its time is now so Yay

I made to feel like what I'm experiencing is abnormal and that's really the whole basis for the conversations I'm trying to start with people is that all of this, every single bit of this sexuality talk, it needs to be happening more and more so that children have the ability to feel safe and feel secure in their own homes to know, oh, okay, the things happening within my body, the thoughts and feelings I'm having, that's normal

But when it comes to things like sexuality, we have been preprogrammed to look at something that is outside of the typical heteronormative, normal parts of sexuality. And we take those and we look at them and we automatically, unfortunately, because we have been what she said about pre programmed is that we look at those situations and our brains automatically go, EW, that's not normal. Instead of looking at the situation and saying, okay, it's not my situation, but that's okay

It's an awkward or it's an abusive or it's an aggressive experience that now I don't have any way to get out of because I had to get married to this person I entered into a formal federal public contract with this person who now I don't feel safe with and if we're having this conversation of, hey, look, as a religion as a whole we would prefer and we believe in monogamy we believe in keeping yourself a Virgin until marriage

I think there are conversations, but the conversations are very similar to what you are alluding to, which is they're on the download or the messages are one of abstinence, abstinence is a response. Is it the best response? Probably say no, it's probably not. Because of the reality we're facing today. I think we need to be open about our sexuality. And I like what you said

So speaking about this topic, I myself, I've been part of that culture that it is taboo to speak about or be open about sexuality. Just being fed just like half kind of either facts or experiences from other people. They don't want to open up too much and then when they're parents, they leave their children with just not the whole truth of what they should be expecting

@Her_Revolucion "Powerful Comment" 🙏🏽💭🤓

Wow. Powerful, powerful. Justinia. Incredible. We agree with you. Yeah. How can we allow others to dictate or speak on our sexuality and on our behalf, quite frankly, such audacity. I like, d***. Yeah. We feel that. Thank you for that
