Embarking on a sexploration isn’t necessarily simple. It involves challenging yourself to grow, to try different ways of interacting and talking about sex. It involves asking yourself—and perhaps learning how to ask others—questions that may not be readily answered, questions with and without right and wrong answers, and perhaps even questions to which you thought you knew the answers. It involves confronting your judgments and assumptions and working through your anxieties. And it involves practice!
*Sexuality is a positive, life-affirming force. The ultimate goal is for you to have fun and feel good!
*Sex is more than sexual intercourse and should be more than orgasm goal oriented.
*Sexuality involves taste and smell and touch and sound. There are many, many ways to be sexual without penetration. By broadening your definition of sex, you can alleviate many of your sexual problems and concerns, expand your sexual repertoire, and improve your loving.
*People vary in their comfort level with sexual language, sexual behavior, and sexual risk taking. Language, especially language around sexuality, has meaning, and those meanings differ from person to person—my curse word may be your word of endearment; one woman’s “vagina” may be another’s “down there,” and one man’s “penis” may be another man’s “shlong.”
*Learning about sexuality is a lifelong adventure. Sexuality begins at birth and ends with death.
*Normal sexuality encompasses a wide range of expression, including sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual experience, ethnic identity, and sexual practice.
