It's a pretty good list of the lies people have told you about sex; too bad The Frisky didn't put more thought or effort into expanding on the thoughts - my favorite lie: Sex is special. Sex is fun, sex shouldn't be tossed around willy-nilly, but, for God's sake, stop acting like it's the most valuable thing on your person. There's a reason most older civilizations didn't have a separate word for 'virgin' - it didn't matter, until religions and society really started to control women and their reproductive rights and identify. They understood: sex isn't the big deal, but what sex causes is. That's "special", and, as a society, we're not taking enough care! of that, instead putting all the pressure on the act itself. Stop making a big deal about sex, and start focusing on our people's health and mental well-being.
