----------------------------------

I spent too many nights crying over thinking I was a freak. Today I feel more empowered, and my perspective is shifting but when I was younger I didn't like the thought of sex, it grossed me out and had no appeal, but I said yes anyway. I should have said no. Since then I've pushed myself to say yes. Pushed myself to fit into what was expected of me.

I didn't allow myself the right to say no.

For a long time I struggled, thinking that my sexual choices made me broken, or a freak.. whether my thoughts on sex change my view on this will not - sexual equality should include the right to opt out of sex. Whether for religious reasons, trauma reasons, or for no reason at all.


The right to refrain should be given equal respect to the right to choose to partake with someone of whatever gender, race etc you prefer... at least in my opinion.

How can it be that it's okay to have sex in a swing, in a group, with a guy, with a girl, with two girls, with people of a different race or religion or class, but its not okay to choose not to have sex?

Why is refraining from sex allowed to remain as a topic of ridicule when we fight for equality in other areas?


I hope you'll think about it for at least a moment.

What a reassuring typography! *_*
In my experience, I'm straight, but I've never had a boyfriend or sex with anyone, because all the guys I met were too childish for me. What's the problem with this? That sometimes there are close people who tell me that I'm doing it wrong, that I should go with someone (who I don't like, I guess) and try to enjoy sex. It's very annoying! sorry for the yell :|
