It's okay. You can say it.
I wish someone had told me...That sex is a choice not an obligation. - anonymous, CT
That your past doesn't define who you are todayI wish I knew that people make mistakes and a few mistakes doesn't mean that you have to be
the school slut forever. - anonymous, New Haven, CT
No strings attached...I wish someone had told me how awkward stranger sex really is --- that it is not even close
to what is portrayed in the movies. There's always stray hairs, weird noises, and snoring. I
wish someone had told me how hilarious sex really can be --- but usually not with strangers
and one night stand. You are usually too self-conscious. - Meg, WY
it isn't all badI waited 27 years to have sex. I didn't wait for religious reasons, or lack of opportunity,
or even lack of desire. I waited because I was afraid.
Women grow up hearing all sorts of messages about sex, not the least of which is that it's
going to hurt the first time. We're also taught that we should be ashamed of our desire and
that we shouldn't enjoy sex as much as men do.
The truth is, these messages are bogus. I wish somebody had told me how much fun it was
going to be. How I'd feel empowered and strong in my body, not hurt. I wish Id known that
sex could be celebration --- something to enjoy and an act that is essential to life and
feeling alive.
So I hope that any woman out there who is contemplating sex can know this: it doesn't have
to hurt to have sex, not the first time, not ever. If you take time to know your body and
your partner, sex can be one of the best things in life. And that's not only okay --- it's
absolutely wonderful. - anonymous, Lakewood Ranch, FL
