Women have had it rough. Throughout history, we’ve been denied the right to vote, the right to work, and the right to have sex just for the fun of it. Thanks to evolution, human beings eventually realized how ridiculous it is to deny anyone their rights, and thanks to various badass women who have had the bravery to stand up for the rest of us everywhere, we managed to knock down the barriers that held us back from doing things we wanted to. Well... for the most part. There is still stigma attached to any woman that comes across as sexually “promiscuous,” and women are still being shamed for wanting to explore their sexuality and engage in sexual activity with anyone they like. This is perhaps one of the biggest double standards in today’s society, and women should never be made to feel like they’re doing anything wrong just because they’re doing what they please with their own bodies. Do you consider yourself promiscuous? Here, we give you a few reasons why you shouldn’t ever be ashamed.
You feel powerful. Sleeping with multiple men gives you the feeling of control and power that women tend to look for while they’re in a relationship, but are unable to get. You're not anxiously waiting for your man to get home so you can fetch him a beer or put on his favorite show. You're calmly considering your options: How best to give myself the pleasure I deserve tonight?
Learning. As human beings, we learn by doing. Having multiple sexual partners allows you to get to know yourself, and what you like in bed. You’re able to figure out what works for you, and what doesn’t for that matter. There's nothing "sexy" about being an untouched little virgin, who doesn't get to participate in one of the basic activities all beings need in order to live healthy lives.
Experience. Having multiple partners means you know what you’re doing. You don’t have to deal with the awkwardness of being inexperienced and usually your sexual encounters are nothing but smooth sailing. Because you allow your sexual proclivities full expression, you've come to learn what you like, what you need, and how to get it.
Confidence. You’re confident not only in bed, but in general. You have a slight spring in your step because you don’t care what anyone thinks about you, so you’re able to live your life free of worry. Insults roll off your back and get left in the dust, where they belong. You're too busy doing you.
Commitment. You don’t have to deal with being tied down to one specific person, and you don’t ever feel guilty for flirting with multiple men in one night. You’re only after one thing, and at the end of the time, the only person you’d want to Netflix and chill with is yourself.
You’re fun. People reach out to you when they want to have a good time. You’re responsible when you need to be, but you also know how to have fun. The phrase “work hard, play hard,” is your life motto.
You’re not judgemental. You don’t want people to judge you for the way you live your life, so you don’t judge others either. It’s because of this that you’ve become your group’s unofficial therapist.
You’re happy. Being honest with yourself has allowed you to be happy with who you are. You don’t need to change for anyone, and you’re secure in everything you do.
New people. Being promiscuous means you get to meet a lot of people, which will likely lead you to a lot of other people, opening new doors for you wherever you go. You aren't tied down to some outdated relationship where you're the bashful women being led around by her man. You lead the charge, lady.
Heartbreak. You never get your heart broken (well, not often), because you’re the one who’s doing the breaking. The good part about being promiscuous is you don’t have to let anyone in unless you want to. You don't feel like your identity is tied down to one person's approval. Instead, you have an active social life, which includes your sex life, and nobody can determine how you feel about yourself at the end of the day.
You’re always safe. The thing about being promiscuous is that you know how important it is to be safe. In fact, you probably practiced safe sex more often than your less promiscuous friends do! You give them solid sexual health advice, like a New Age Dr. Ruth.
Advice. People always want to hear your advice on things —guys and girls alike. You’ve got something to say about pretty much anything sex-related. You’re not uncomfortable with sex, so your friends come to you with their weirdest sex questions on a daily basis.
You’ll try anything. You’re open to trying just about anything, and with sex, there’s always something new to try. Your life is nothing short of entertaining. No humdrum sex with some dude you settled with. You're out there scouting talent.
Girl power. There should be a higher sense of girl power in today’s society, and making a woman feel like she’s lesser because she does what she wants with her body is an outdated and unfair way to treat women. Women deserve to be treated with the same respect as men do, no matter what the circumstances. Riddle me this: What happens when a guy confesses to his friends that he just hooked up with some chick the night before? "Awesome, cool story bro!" (Okay, we're not bros so we're not sure how that convo goes but you get the gist). Now what if a lady says the same thing to her friends? "OMG, really? Who was this guy? Um… cool, I guess?" Something's off, people.
Respect. The first step that we should take to stop this kind of shaming is for women to stop competing with each other and to see themselves as sisters rather than enemies. Hopefully, the rest of the world will follow suit. Ladies, we're all in this together against a society that wants to keep us locked up. Are we gonna stand for it? Hell to the no, compadres. Hell to the no.
