I Had Sex For The First Time In 3 Years And Here's What I Learned

I'd like to think of this as the unintentional follow-up to my previous article about not having sex for 3 years... Sometimes it just takes a 3-year break for things to click, ya know?

I Had Sex For The First Time In 3 Years And Here's What I Learned

In This Article:

Ah yes, sex. It may go by a plethora of names- coitus, fornication, making love, the horizontal tango, bumping uglies- but at the end of the day it is still the universal language of love (or arousal, if that's more your style). There's nothing wrong with choosing to have sex, and there's nothing wrong with choosing not to have sex. Hell, I took a three-year hiatus but now I'm back (and better than ever, b*tches). Three years is a very long time though, and I've definitely learned a few things since 2018, so I thought I'd share with the world all of the wonderful epiphanies I've had since getting boned last week.

Sex Toys Are The Best Toys

Now I know not everyone is comfortable using a vibrator or a cock ring, but, whether you're masturbating or fooling around with a partner, sex toys can be a magical thing. My partner and I didn't use a sex toy last week, but I wanted to note that I've been using sex toys (vibrators, dildos, etc.) since last year and holy f*ck do I highly recommend them! I promise they're not as intimidating as they seem, just do your research first before you buy anything. There's nothing worse than buying poorly made toys and then having them break a few months into using them.

Many Things Have Changed

Yes, I know this is obvious, but I still wanted to share it with the class. I'm older, wiser, and apparently LOUDER (sorry if that's TMI.... actually, no I'm not; this is an article about sex so get used to it). I've been able to explore my body during these last few years and I've learned what feels good and what doesn't, and that is a huge part of sex. I've also seen a LOT more porn, which I think helped prepare me for Round 2 of my Sexual Awakening (who knew there were more sex positions than doggy and missionary, lol).

PREGNANCY SCARES ME

Of course, I know that the only way to make sure I don't get pregnant is to avoid having sex, but I forgot how nerve-wracking it can be to miss a period after doing the nasty. All of my trust is going into a piece of rubber that only works 98% of the time... and that is a LOT of trust, y'all. Should I invest in better birth control? Probably. Am I going to? Maybe. Am I going to continue to have sex? You bet your ass I am! But seriously, don't go having sex unless you're mentally ready for that possibility of having a baby.

Communication Is Sexy

I write this in almost every dang article, so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it's a pretty important topic to keep in mind while screwing around. I wish I had been more open about the fact that I didn't cum because then I bet my partner would have finished me off. Instead, I just went to bed because it was late, and I was too much of a chicken sh*t to say anything. I regret not saying something sooner, so please learn from my totally unsexy mistake. I'd never forgive myself if I didn't stress this enough because everybody deserves to orgasm at least once during sex!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
