We know this article might seem obvious, but there are still many biases about sex. What this article focuses on is why/how many of the stigmas during sex are untrue. You shouldn’t feel bad for having sex and enjoying it.

1. Embrace sexuality.

Having sex can help you embrace your sexuality and sexual desires.

2. Pleasure.

This is pretty self-explanatory.

3. It’s not hurting anyone else.

As long as you are being upfront with your partner (or partners) when it comes to positions, moves, boundaries, and consent sex, you shouldn’t be hurting anyone.

4. It’s nobody else’s business.

What you do with your body is no one else’s business but your own.

5. It’s good for your health.

There are many health benefits for having sex. It boosts your libido, lowers blood pressure, lowers stress, improves sleep, and lowers pain.
