Leftism in America is never going to progress if the majority of people who preach it are more concerned with who uses what identity labels and imaginary cultural barriers than they are fighting the state that's killing us.

In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems. Each one of us has a responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes are not sufficient; we must become actively engaged.

GOP: Porn shouldn’t be sex ed for kids! Me: So you support sex ed? GOP: No! Parents should be the ones who talk to their kids about sex! Me: So you support parents teaching their kids that it’s healthy to masturbate without porn? GOP: Masturbation is the devil’s hobby!

As a human being I’m aware that we are all physically, mentally and emotionally the same and we all want to live a happy life. Scientists say our basic nature is compassionate. It’s clear that love and affection bring people together.

Telling someone they're being sexually degraded because they enjoy BDSM is only a reflection of what *you* consider to be sexually degrading.

If monogamy can be a requirement for sex, why can't money?

Human beings are social animals and it is love that brings us together, while anger drives us apart. To live more peacefully and joyfully in our day to day lives, we need a warm heart.

No means no. Silence means no. Turning your head away means no. Tears mean no. A look of shock means no. Caving in to sex after first saying no, is coercion - and means no. Changing your mind at ANY time IS NO. Teach kids that the only thing meaning yes, is literally saying YES

it’s always OK to reinvent yourself; it’s always OK to no longer identify w/ who you were; give yourself permission to grow.

One thing that might be important to think about/ communicate about (especially for folks who experience chronic pain)- "What does GOOD Pain look like vs. BAD Pain during sex / sexual play? Maybe have different code words or safe words for both. #ChronicSex

Porn doesn’t come with a syllabus. It’s not its job or its responsibility to be a sex educator. That’s the job of schools and parents, so take responsibility.

If you’re struggling to accept and respect older adult sexuality, just ask yourself at what age do you no longer want to be a sexual person?

Your emotions are signs, don’t let them override your intelligence, let them guide you, observe them and learn from them. Many give in to emotional manipulation and miss out on the opportunity for growth.
