Let’s Talk About It

Why Are We Still Afraid to Talk About Sex? 🤔

Lately, I’ve been showing up more… more social activities, more conversations, more opportunities to connect with new people. And in these conversations, sex keeps finding its way into the mix. 🌶️

I’ve realized something about myself… I’m pretty open when it comes to talking about sex. I’m not out here shouting it from the rooftops, but if the topic comes up, I’m gonna let you know my thoughts. This is a topic I don’t hesitate to share about if it comes up. I’m honest, curious, and unafraid to share my thoughts. Honestly, I didn’t even realize this was rare until recently. ✨

The more these conversations are happening, the more I’m noticing just how much guilt and shame still lingers around sex. Around desire. Around fantasies. People hesitate, they lower their voices, they laugh nervously, they change the subject, or they share quietly, almost apologetically, like they’re confessing their darkest secret. 💔

Not only am I recognizing this pattern of shame and guilt, and people feeling like sex is something they can’t or shouldn’t talk about. But more interesting is how many people don’t know what they don’t know regarding sex. In my world, we playfully call it vanilla and there’s nothing wrong with vanilla. It’s classic. It’s safe. It’s comfort. But there are sooooo many other flavors out there. And some people don’t even know other flavors even exist, or that they’re allowed to explore them without shame. 🍨

I keep finding myself asking why don’t we talk about sex? Why, when it’s such a fundamental part of who we are as human beings is it still taboo to discuss it openly, without judgement, shame, or fear? Is it the conditioning from our parents? Religion? Cultural norms that told us sex should stay hidden, quiet, and private? Even if that silence keeps us disconnected from ourselves and our partners? 🤔

I don’t have all the answers, but I do know that we need more spaces where people can talk about sex openly. Spaces where curiosity isn’t met with judgement, where questions aren’t met with shame, and where the conversation isn’t just about what’s “acceptable,” but what’s possible.

So let’s talk about it. What do you think keeps us quiet? What would it feel like to have a space to have open dialog about sex, sexual curiosities, or even confusion?

To be honest, the conversation isn’t even really about sex at all. It’s about freedom, connection, and self-discovery. 💚
