Sexuality is very special and personal to everyone. We are sexual beings, meaning it's wired in us to be interested in sex, and we've been doing it for ages. We all have varying sexual preferences, relationship needs, identities, and wants; also, everyone is on their own timer, weather you value staying a virgin till marriage, or till today. All these variables can make sexuality overwhelming and confusing when it doesn't have to be. Your own sexuality can be formed at your own pace and with your own experiences. No matter what your preferences are, it is important that we all have healthy and happy sexual experiences.

Often we forget sex goes beyond just the physical act. Sex should be approached with mutual respect and responsibility. There are physical, emotional, and physiological components with every sexual interaction. Coming to a understanding of this will help us to make smarter sexual decisions as well as experience both physical and mental pleasure.

Making sure you educate yourself on various sexual methods and possibilities will enhance your sexual experience - learning what pleases you and what you don’t like. Afterall, your sexuality yours totally and should be treated so. As you grow up your sexual preferences may change, so it is also important to check in with yourself and pay attention to how you feel before, during, and after sexual interactions.  

Practicing safe sex will protect you physically, as well as help avoid any angst and worry after sex. Communicating to your partner(s) is key. Sex is a vulnerable act and it is important to have an open dialogue about how you feel. Sex is a mutual act and should be addressed as one. There is no “right way” to have sex - feeling clueless on whether your are doing it correctly is okay! Sex will naturally begin to flow.

Have someone you trust who you can talk to about your sexualtiy and sex! This should be a open minded conversation with someone who will support you and also have you best intrest in mind. Sexual behavior and desires are normal and should be spoken about and celebrated. Enjoy healthy and happy sex!
