When you have a friend that likes to have her fair share of fun with boys, there's a blurred line between being a worried friend, and slut shaming her. And trust me, I don’t want to tell you how to live your life, and what you do behind closed doors is completely your business. But I'm genuinely worried about the negative effects its having on your life.
Trust me I understand why you do it, more than you know. It feels so good to be wanted, to be desired. It makes you feel like a queen, I get it. But I see the negative sides of these sexual adventures too.
You get hung up. Catching feelings that will never be returned is easily one of the most painful things ever. But sex doesn’t equal feelings, and I know that you know that, yet you still haven't broken the cycle. You catch feelings for him, he makes you feel wonderful, you sleep with him, time and time again, then move onto the next one. You try to tell us time and time again that you don't get feelings for them, that you're not trying to date. Your tally is impressive, and I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to have that many people want me.
But in all honesty the toll its taking on you is alarming. You're wonderful, and I'm sure that part of you is wonderful too. But you're banking all your self worth on this. You're feelings are compromised because of this, and standing by watching you go through this hurts me too. Your sad comments, the depressing tweets. Honestly, I'm ashamed to admit that I've seen a tweet or two and thought to myself, "I wonder which boy it is this time." And I'm so sorry for thinking that about you.
But your feelings getting hurt isn't even my biggest concern. When you meet someone on the internet you never know for sure what you're going to get. There's bad people out there, even if you haven't met them yet. And maybe you never will meet them, (and I pray to God you don't) you still need to be aware that they're out there. When it comes to meeting someone it's not fair that you have to be worried about starring in your very own Taken movie.
Also, as a friend I'm worried about your physical health. This is alarming and just because he says he's clean, doesn’t mean he is. You can carry a disease and not show any symptoms, and not all condoms completely cover you from the risk of STDs. You have to make sure you're buying ones that say they protect against STDs
I'm not saying you're dirty, I'm not even saying that you're a whore. I'm saying that I'm worried about you, and all the terrifying ifs of your sexcapades, even if you aren't. Do these make me think any less of you? No. They definitely don't. You're the same person as always; funny and sweet, with a bomb choice in music.
You might be mad that I'm worried about you when it comes your sex life. To be honest, you have every right to be, but that’s not going to change the fact that I'm genuinely worried, and I want you to be careful.
