Your Sex Life, As Told By ‘Stranger Things’

Stranger Things has been our newest obsession as of late. The show follows the disappearance of a young boy and features an odd but lovable telekinetic girl who helps his friends as they search for him. Though it may not be as crazy as the things we see on the show, it’s safe to say our sex life can definitely be a strange thing. Here’s an explanation of your sex life, according to Stranger Things

Most of the time, you have to live vicariously through your friends. 


At least someone is getting action. 

But sometimes you get lucky and find a little action.

Finally! 

Maybe your crush finally confessed their feelings for you.

It was only a matter of time! 

Or alcohol gave you the courage to talk to that hottie across the room. 

Because margaritas solve everything. 

Perhaps your friend came through as a really good wingman.

Finally! 

But—no matter how you met—you always make sure you and your partner are on the same page.

And are (of course) using protection. 

Safety first. Always! 

You get a little nervous when you’re first getting into it. 

Who doesn’t? 

And you’ll admit that you can be a little bit awkward. 

No judgment! 

But maybe you’re not 100 percent comfortable with your partner. 

Especially if it’s your first time together. 

You tend to get upset when your partner is being selfish in bed. 

But who doesn’t? 

But (usually) you both finish satisfied. 

You’ve got to both give and take. 

Sometimes you’re even surprised with how good their ~skillz~ are. 

How’d they learn such great moves? 

Sometimes you think about your celebrity crush during the action. 

Everyone does it, even if they don’t admit it. 

And, in the end, the moment you finally climax is truly magical. 

TBH, it’s even better than online shopping. 

Cuddling after sex is always mandatory to you.

And you prefer to be the little spoon.

But sometimes you and your partner fall alseep and lose track of time. 

Hope you didn’t have anywhere to be!  

After a good hookup, you always have to call your friends. 

They need all the details ASAP. 

And everyone knows after-sex food is always the best. 

Preferably if it’s Chipotle. 

If you haven’t watched Stranger Things yet, then you need to see it as soon as possible. Save this show for your next Netflix and chill session—and you’ll be sure to get some action that night (if that’s what you want!).
