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

Have you ever heard of freedom of speech?

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

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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
