| straightforwardness that amazes most partners, but it's crucial for them to understand that |
| I still have hesitations. That even I, sometimes, need a moment to articulate what I want |
| - or need to be asked whether there's anything he can do. |
| Lastly, and most importantly: don't let go of your boundaries unless you're sure you're |
| ready. If you really don't want to do something, you don't have to make yourself do it. |
| I'm writing this because when I was growing up, all the sex-positive work I read |
| encouraged exploration at the cost of boundaries, and I think that's wrong. There were |
| times when that attitude hurt me -- for example, I did things I didn't like because people |
| claimed I hadn't yet gotten over my sexual "issues," like my lesbian friend in college. |
| And I know that attitude has hurt other women, too. |
| I don't like seeing sex-positive feminism equated with making oneself freely sexually |
| available. Exploring sexuality does not mean you have to ignore your warning bells. |
| Sexuality is so complicated. Sex cannot be reduced to bodies, or hormones, or |
| psychological stereotypes. Sex cannot be reduced to certainties, to shoulds and |
| shouldn'ts. If I could destroy every force in our lives that drives home ideas of sexual |
| "normality," I would. Which leads to my final piece of advice: don't let me tell you |
| what to do. This is just my experience, just my ideas. As with everything, I want you to |
| do whatever feels right for you -- as long as it's among consenting adults. |
