The message that slut-shaming sends to women is that sex is bad, having sex with more than one person is horrible, and everyone will hate you for having sex at all.
That message is complete and utter–excuse my French–bullshit. (Yes, I’m 13, and I said the word “bullshit.” Yes, I’m 13, and I’m talking about slut-shaming. Deal with it.) Anyway, if you’ve given your consent, if you’re emotionally and physically ready for it, if you’re using proper protection, and if you feel safe and comfortable with your partner, then sex is good! It is nobody’s business but your own how many people you’re having sex with or how much sex you have. And you don’t deserve to be hated on for being sexually active with more than one partner.
In all seriousness, one of the reasons I love training and working with young people is how incredibly inspirational they can be. Astrorice, you’re a baller. I wish that I was half as aware and articulate at 13.
