The rise of sexually liberated women

Many women refer to themselves as sexually liberated because we express ourselves freely and engage in sexual activity whenever we like, regardless of what others may think. But I’d like to add a few additional things to consider if you’re serious about controlling your sexuality and empowering the women around you.

Our cultures and the media are always telling women what kind of people to be. What our body forms must be, and where we must shave. If you engage in too much sex, society will label you as a slut; if you don’t, they will label you as a prude. It’s time to quit listening because this is a lose-lose scenario.

For centuries, women have been conditioned to believe that sex is solely for the satisfaction of men and the participation in it, ends once the men has been satisfied. This conditioning has led to many women not having a voice when it comes to their sex life. Sex is an act meant to be enjoyed by all those participating in the act, it should never be one sided.

According to Loveabilty, never linking sex with guilt means you are sexually liberated. Condoms and routine testing are essential components of being prepared. Birth control and STI testing are widely available for free or at a low cost in many schools, universities, and Planned Parenthood clinics. S

Maintaining knowledge is a necessary part of being ready. Learn everything there is to know about anatomy and different kinds of sex you’ve never experienced. Loveability emphasizes the importance for women to practice self-pleasure so that they know and understand their bodies and can guide their partners when engaging in sexual activities. Investing in body-safe sex essential products, like condoms and lube, can help you discover just how you like to orgasm.
