“Nobody told me I had a clitoris. Nobody told me I was capable of having orgasms. For five years I was given “sex education”. It mostly consisted of periods and condoms. It didn’t talk about consent. It didn’t talk about the actual mechanics of sex, about arousal and lubrication and oscillation. It didn’t tell me a single thing about relationships and it didn’t tell me I had a clitoris. I only know now because of the internet. Nobody entrusted with my care and education has ever told me that the female orgasm exists, or about the parts of my anatomy necessary for it. I didn’t find my clitoris until I was eighteen, after six years of active sexuality. That makes me angry.”

I had a child before I ever had an orgasm. I know this feeling.

Woah, child before orgasm? Something is so, so wrong about that. Yet I know plenty of women in the same situation. Fuck yourself, patriarchy.

This is what I was talking about a few posts ago. Swear to Christ, if I knew it wouldn’t get me kicked out of school, I’d would be screaming to my school about actual sex education. It’s not even about preventing pregnancy mostly (although that is super important and a huge benefit), but also about knowing your body to know what feels good. Sex should be enjoyable for all involved, but when no one participating knows what’s going with their bodies or their partner’s/partners’ bodies, then it can suck or just not be as satisfying as it could be. I would hate for sex to become something you lie there for to my peers or anyone else; people should want to have sex because they love/like/enjoy it, not because they want to please someone or give the illusion that they like it (and I mean this for purely relationship purposes or in general, not in the arena of sex work or anything related.)

Y’all I have so many feelings about this, but I will advocate for sex ed. It’s too important.

I feel the same way

We feel the same way! Sex education shouldn’t just be about male pleasure, or heterosexual behaviour, or reinforce women’s sexual passivity. It should be about learning to communicate, to listen to your partner, to discuss your lines of consent!
