But why? After all, it is an elemental part of life, and in fact where life itself begins. However, influenced from childhood, through life\u2019s experiences, by beliefs and desires, people create all kinds of different opinions on sex. And to each their own when it comes to personal views, as long as they are healthy. We are not here to judge you or tell you how to feel about the topic, but rather just to simply <em>talk <\/em>about sex, as this is essential when it comes to protecting our sexual health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The World Health Organization<\/a>, the definition of sexual health is \u201ca state of physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction, or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination, and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected, and fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the world of today, welbeight far advanced from past views on the topic, sex is still often considered taboo. And talking about love and intimacy often makes people\u2019s anxiety skyrocket. However, we must keep talking, defining our relationships, and pursuing our pleasures. Living your best sexual life, because just like we care for our physical and mental health, we must also care for our sexual health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Sexual Health: a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction, or infirmity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We must start at the beginning\u2014all the way to the day one first learns the word <em>sex<\/em>. As almost every parent will attest, even the most sexually open ones, talking to kids about sex is not easy. There really is no simple way to G rate sex. But the future of their, and society\u2019s, sexual health depends on it. So have at it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there is the first time. Whether by way of self-pleasure or with a partner. Maybe your first time was young, or perhaps it was after marriage. Maybe it was great, or just mediocre, or maybe it was downright evil. Perhaps sex never appealed to you much. Or perhaps the art of sex fascinates you, and you spend your life exploring it. Whatever your story, it\u2019s ok to talk about it. And try not to judge others. Because, of course, with judgment comes silence. And with silence, often more hurt and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lets-talk-about-sex-1-771x1024.png\" alt=\"talk about sex woman biting her finger close up photo of lips by nico_blue\" class=\"wp-image-64348\" width=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lets-talk-about-sex-1-771x1024.png 771w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lets-talk-about-sex-1-226x300.png 226w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lets-talk-about-sex-1-768x1020.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lets-talk-about-sex-1-1156x1536.png 1156w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lets-talk-about-sex-1-1541x2048.png 1541w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><figcaption><em>(Photo by Nico_Blue\/Getty Images)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about sex is not just hard between parent and child, it can also be heart-wrenchingly difficult partner-to-partner. Although we cannot tell you the best way to approach sex in your personal life, we can say to you it must be with consent and respect, and that if you talk openly and honestly it will undoubtedly help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while we are on the topic of couples communicating about sex, how did it become so much easier for men to talk about sex than women? We can start here: \u201cPaternity is the beginning of male domination. The day that happened, men took possession of women,\u201d said Philippe Brenot author of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3J8GCe0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Story of Sex<\/a> <\/em>in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2016\/oct\/29\/a-graphic- history-of-sex-there-is-no-gene-that-drives-sexuality-all-sexuality-is-learned\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interview by <em>The Guardian<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank goodness we have come far from there! Nonetheless, the fact that the term \u201cwomen empowerment\u201d still exists is all we need to say on this topic. However, we will add, men and women are both human. So let\u2019s not speak of gender differences but rather continue to speak freely and openly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lets-talk-about-sex-3-1024x827.png\" alt=\"intertwined bodies photo by jonathan knowles getty images\" class=\"wp-image-64345\" width=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lets-talk-about-sex-3-1024x827.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lets-talk-about-sex-3-300x242.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lets-talk-about-sex-3-768x621.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lets-talk-about-sex-3-1536x1241.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lets-talk-about-sex-3-2048x1655.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>(Photo by Jonathan Knowles\/Getty Images)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t talk about sex without talking about pornography. And with porn comes both good and bad. While rooted in men\u2019s desire to view women as sexual objects and assert dominance over them, today this cannot be said is always the case. On one page abuse and corruption. On another, free-willed women and men who choose to sell sex for a living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When discussing porn the topic of kids often arises. Most believing it is NOT a healthy way for a child to learn about sex as the lines between fantasy and reality are far too blurred. But let\u2019s be real, porn is not going anywhere, so the next best thing is to talk about it so it can be understood for exactly what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of talking is teaching. Sex ed needs to be about learning the rules of sex and relationships\u2014communication, consent, and respect. As Bernot explains in <em>The Guardian <\/em>Interview, the rules of relationships are not natural to us, we have to learn them. An impossible task without talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"from-the-practical-baby-making-of-it-to-the-love-the-touch-and-the-romance-of-it-or-perhaps-you-prefer-the-kinkier-side-of-things-that-works-too-as-long-as-you-are-safe-and-respectful-to-others-and-yourself-if-we-talk-about-the-good-the-considerate-and-the-healthy-maybe-we-can-help-decrease-the-bad-the-vulgar-and-the-abusive-so-no-matter-what-your-opinion-let-s-talk\">FROM THE PRACTICAL BABY-MAKING OF IT TO THE LOVE, THE TOUCH, AND THE ROMANCE OF IT.
