Let's Talk About Sex, Baby! (Unless you're a woman...)

Have you ever heard of freedom of speech?

Let’s talk about sex, no really. Let’s talk about it with no shame whatsoever. How else do you think we got here? We obviously did not get here by a stork. We all got here from sexual reproduction (unless you were born by your mother using artificial insemination, that's another story). Why not talk about it? Why not tell all our dirty sex stories like how we lost our virginity, how we had an amazing hookup with a guy or a girl, how we regret having sex with a certain person? Why do us women fear speaking about sex when that it is fine to be completely open but bash us for speaking.

To judgmental men (and shockingly some of you women), stop shaming us girls for speaking about sex. We, females should not have to fear talking or even mentioning sex because it's not “ladylike”. Why is it that when we talk about something sexual, it is considered something taboo? Something completely forbidden in society. Apparently, freedom of speech does not apply to women.

I had an experience in school where I mentioned the word penis and received an earful from the substitute teacher who told me that using sexual talk does not make me look like a lady. Penis is a body part, I can technically use it, in more ways than one. Do not excuse my sexual reference there.

Guys can talk about having sex all day long and barely anyone bats an eye to what they say. They can brag about how many sexual partners they’ve had, where they’ve had sex, and can be congratulated for purchasing a box of condoms. If I were to pick up a box of condoms or even imply a sexual joke, I have someone’s grandmother yelling at me as if I did something wrong.

Sex is a natural part of life and so is talking about it. If we females decide to talk about it and share our sex stories, we should be able to do so without being labeled something other than the names that we were given at birth. Is it too vulgar? We, women have needs too and we also live in this society. We should not be told what we can or cannot talk about due to our gender.

The words we use are not masculine nor are they feminine, neither are the conversations that we have. Sometimes we girls do not feel comfortable going up to our parents and talking about sex, so we find our closest girlfriends and have our conversations. What's the problem with that?

Stop shaming women for their choice to have sexual conversations.

Remember, use protection ladies and the possible gentlemen reading this article!

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
