Culture of Sex vs Culture of Respect vs Self Worth

Have you ever felt that when you have sex you may be devaluing yourself? Is our culture too fixed on self worth and an unrealistic status of self respect. Or do I really just value myself so much that I limit my sexual experiences?

When specifically talking about the gay community, the culture is extremely sexual! But why is it so sexual? Is it the fact that there are two men, so extra testosterone ? Is it because we fought for our freedom and we want to do whatever we want? Or is it because not everyone was taught the same morals and values of sex when growing up?

I find myself in this thought bubble a lot , where do I fall in this line of cultures? But also does there have to be a line? I believe that everyone is entitled to value anything in anyway they want. I use to be so shocked when I learned people didn’t value love or sex how I value it, being older now I learned not everyone is raised the same way or have the same values.

I do know for myself though, that sex is great but I do value sex as a higher connection with someone, auras during sex are exchanged and for me I rather know the person, or at least have an organic connection instead of an app hookup etc. Of course, been there, done that and realized it’s not for me.

I think as you are on this journey of life, you start learning what works for you and what doesn’t. Honestly 27 has been that beautiful age for me of being assure of who I am and what my needs are ❤

So , I ask where do you stand in this debate?

Love,
