Forget "losing your virginity"! Let's prepare youn

Forget "losing your virginity"! Let's prepare young people for safer, more satisfying sexual debuts. Who agrees? 🙌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
REPOST: @sexpositive_families⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sex talks with youth should not simply focus on reproduction because the truth is:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅people have sex for pleasure far more often than they do to conceive babies⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅not all sex involves a penis entering a vagina⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅raising babies is not a universal or default life goal⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅not all young people are heterosexual⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅young people deserve to understand their rights to sexual pleasure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅feeling fearful or unprepared should not be considered anticipated norms for sexual debuts or any sexual experiences thereafter⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of anticipating pain or adverse outcomes with sex, young people should be equipped to recognize and cultivate pleasure within their sexual experiences. This helps them to be more confident and effective communicators, to understand the importance of consent, and be aware of what to do if a concern arises.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When young people know facts, they lead with confidence instead of fear; they’re better prepared to make informed choices about their health, safety, and relationships; and, they’re more likely to reach out for the support they need when their actions are not rooted in shame.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Give youth the information and support you wish you had growing up, so they can live safer, more pleasurable experiences when they enter into sexual decision making.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Introducing RKA @robbikatherineanthony, the fabulo

Introducing RKA @robbikatherineanthony, the fabulous CEO of Euphoria, making the lives of trans folks a bit easier to manage, whether it’s through information (Solace), finances (Bliss), or healing from significant pains (Catharsis)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She told us that sexual empowerment "speaks to a place where I can embrace my body with another individual without the fear of violence. That may sound a bit grim, but the high watermark in my world in a sexual setting is one in which there is no fear, no threats, and no pain. The freedom from fear very much sits at the definition of empowerment."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A sex-positive community is important to Robbi "because the world is still incredibly behind on being sex-positive. As a millennial who went to Catholic school, I still have a lot of gaps of information (even at 28) and sex-positive communities are enthusiastic and gracious about education. It’s a place with no shame and that is incredibly important, for all areas, but sex in particular."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, we love what you are doing and super excited about the company's new app, Clarity, helping users gain greater insight into their gender identity, gender expression, and sexuality.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, this is the kinda #sextech we wanna hear about! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

TW: FGM⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is FGM? FGM is the practice of female genital mutilation. This illustration by @cliterallythebest shows that there are three types:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Type 1: Clitoridectomy⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Type 2: Excision⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Type 3: Infibulation ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘FGM refers to the non-medical procedure that partially or totally removes the external female genitalia — with extremely harmful health consequences. Survivors have reported serious issues with sex, urination, menstruation, pregnancy, and more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s often seen by practicing communities as a ceremony of purification, to prepare daughters for marriage. But ultimately, it is the attempt of a patriarchal society to control female sexuality — and a serious human rights violation, according to the UN.’ - @glblctzn ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
