You were supposed to be the one I could turn to no matter you were meant to be my protector but you were always absent you never saw the good you only ever saw the bad and what was wrong with me it felt like you never had the time of day for me you would always tell me what was wrong with me but there was nothing ever wrong with me other then needing the mother you were meant to be what you should have been and then when the abusive partner who on multiple times tried to kill me rather then look at yourself and what you should have been to protect me you threw me away and made me someone else problem. I never had the chance to be kid to laugh and play I had to grow up become an adult look after myself at an age where you should have been reading a book to me at night but no even though you claim me has your proud first born I am always second you allowed me to pushed out of the family I am always treated so bad I'm now to old to be one of the kids yet will never be old enough to be treated as one of the adults and it looks like I will never be good enough all the good things all the things I should be proud of in life feel like they mean nothing because I will never have a blood family to celebrate them with. The day I was strong enough to finally come out and proud in who I am as a string gay man you told me to go back in the closet you should have been proud that I had the courage to come in a time when I was losing my mind. My first love you never liked from the first day you never even tried to like him but he was my first and that was special to be in a place where no one loved me I found someone who did but no I wasn't allowed to ever be happy I had to be alone and miserable just like you are. Do you even remember the time when I was 13 on Christmas day when I was thrown out of the house and locked out and forced to go dig up weeds from the backyard while the rest of sat inside and enjoy your day and your gifts. What about the time the person you told me for 15 years was my father picked up a tv and threw it at me when I was 6 six years I barely remember that night was I put in the hospital because I was unconscious or did he beat me. Did you even know that the person who I thought was my best friend was manipulating me was making me fall in love him so I would become his whipped slave and come a t the drop of a hat and do whatever I wanted for them including committing crimes doing any amount of drugs where were you then why didn't you help you. You only cared about controlling me what did you thinking the multiple treats a day of making homeless were going to do. Why didn't you care when I was drugged and ended up in the hospital the only thing you cared about was what my partner thought about me being a drug addict. Why would you send so many message to my partner trying to get him to break up with me could you see that I was finally starting to get better that I was starting to become my own person
Well guess what I am finally my own person the truth will always come out your day is coming your number is coming and the day that happens you will realise you have pushed the only person strong enough to help you so far away
DEAR TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS BECOMING SEXUALLY ACTIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME:
1. DEMAND condom use
2. Hold your partners accountable for what happens in the bedroom. None of this “baby I can’t control myself around you” or “I just wanted you so bad” bullshit.
3. Coercion is real and it’s very scary and hard to identify in the moment. Establish a dialogue with your partner. Be clear on what you both want. Be clear on what you don’t want. Your boundaries should ALWAYS be respected.
4. Sex can be really emotionally and physically over-stimulating the first few times; don’t be afraid or ashamed to ask your partner to slow down, take a break, or even stop.
5. Focus less on pleasing your partner and more on exploring your partner. Everyone’s body is different and there are no “tricks” to better sex. Chances are, if you psych yourself out worrying over how well you’re “performing” then nobody’s going to have a good time.
6. Ask questions, offer suggestions. Despite what porn has probably taught you, talking during sex isn’t weird or taboo. Your partner isn’t a mind reader. They don’t know what feels good to you. [Pro-tip, a looot of people without clitorises aren’t fully aware of just HOW sensitive a clitoris is. They can be a little rough with them. Tell them to chill!!!!]
7. Your sex life is YOUR business. Don’t ever feel ashamed of how many or how few sexual partners/experiences you’re having. Do what you want, touch the people who want to touch you back, forget the rest.
8. DON’T FAKE YOUR ORGASMS!! Don’t fake your orgasms!! DON’TFAKEYOURORGAMS!! If your partner isn’t getting you there, let them know! Tell them how!!
9. There is more to sex than orgasms. Sex is a really cool way to establish intimacy and trust, to have a fun time, to relieve stress, to explore a person’s body and bring them pleasure. Don’t get me wrong, orgasms are really cool and good, but your sex life is going to be a lot better if it doesn’t revolve around them.
10. LEARN ABOUT YOUR BODY!! This goes for everyone, but ESPECIALLY if you are a person in possession of a vulva, you have been discouraged and even actively kept from vital knowledge about your anatomy! Do some google searches, buy a human sexuality textbook, masturbate.
11. Virginity is a useless concept. It’s completely okay if your virginity is something important to you and I’m not trying to belittle that idea. Just, for the record, in the grand scheme of things it’s not a big deal. Literally nothing about you changes just because you bumped uglies with someone else.
