What are the keys to talking about sex?

Sex is difficult to talk about. It is an intimate act that shows our sexual desires and it is look down upon.

I remember talking to a friend that when I first begin a relationship with a person, a lover most likely, I have trouble talking about some little things that bother me during sex. She responded, “You have to let that person know always! You can ever try to put sticky notes on your body and color coordinate the places where you are vulnerable and not.”

I learned that waiting too long cannot be good. DON’T WAIT TOO LONG.

Putting off a conversation, especially a sexual conversation can be off putting. Two of my friends grew apart sexually because they both didn’t communicate the dos and the don’ts of their sexual experience. It can even be that fact that you are insecure with your body or that fact that you just aren’t feeling it. Your libido is always intact and if you wait too long to discuss things, you might fracture it and then you have to start from zero to get the mojo back. Dry spells are normal in a relationship, it doesn’t mean that you will never have sex again; it just means taking the initiative to start conversing about the issue.

Communication doesn’t always require words. In fact, I found it helpful a touch is more verbal than words themselves. If, for example, a particular touch in uncomfortable or hurts, you move your body or move the hand. I mean if you stay there and do nothing, it just communicates the opposite to your partner. Suffering in silence gets people nowhere; it can only bring resentment. If that doesn’t work you show your partner by taking their hands to a more comfortable spot. You always have to make your partner feel comfortable and safe during non-sexual interactions. It is possible that they have been doing the same movement for a while, and during sex, that touch can be a reminder of that tender care that they have communicated before.

I think it would be so amazing if we all focused on our sensations and at the same time be in tune with our partner. It does take a while for habits to become a part of the process and by the time it is, what may have aroused you before may have changed. So there is no way around the communication part all the time. It is just about moving as one.

An important key to having sex and talking about sex is to remember be yourself. Remember what you like, be ready to communicate those dos and don’ts of sex. Over time, I have learned that by knowing what I wanted didn’t need me to be silent. For lack of better words, by being frank about my preferences, I had nothing to lose, but gain. I stopped holding back and found a way I can talk about my desires. I don’t just mean sex, also in life’s agendas.When you meet your partner half-way the orgasmic trance will enthrall your whole experience with your partner.

When my friends ask me how I go about meeting my desires I tell them, “I want this right here, right now and I love the way you do that thing. So lets add them and have fun!” Of course, half of them gasp and laugh, but I believe it is important to do that. There is so much only you can do to improve your sex life. Obviously, the support of your partner is key to all this.Just last week I was thinking about scenarios and how to bring certain characters to life.

At least that’s a start in my end.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
