What is Sexual Freedom?

As a young adult, it’s normal to think about sex, have a desire to learn more about your body and have sexual desires choma. Just like anyone else, only you control your body.So, you have the freedom to do whatever you want with your body, with whomever you want and whenever you want. But remember that with freedom comes responsibility choma. So, let’s try and break down what sexual freedom is.

Embracing your sexual orientation

The amounts of new experiences, relationships and emotions you will experience throughout your life is overwhelming choma; but they can also be so liberating once you find what you enjoy doing sexually either with your partner or yourself. Embracing your sexual orientation can be one way of expressing your sexual freedom choma. Exploring and experiencing same sex attractions may be the first step to self-acceptance and eventually coming out. Coming out means that you have personally accepted your sexuality, you’re getting to know who you are, learning to become comfortable with who you are, and when you are ready, telling close friends and family that you are not heterosexual.

Whether you’re heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, you have the right to explore your sexuality choma. Gone are the days where people believed being of a sexual orientation other than heterosexual meant you had a mental illness. Nowadays, you don’t have to ignore or suppress your feelings to be someone you’re not choma. Just always practise safe sex with your partner and go for regular HIV testing in order to stay sexually healthy. One of the safest ways to get to know your body sexually is through masturbation. So get to understand how your vagina works and what you enjoy most choma. Just don’t put random objects into your vagina as that may harm your body.

Learn to love the woman you are becoming

Your sexuality is closely linked with your self-esteem and body image, and if you have a negative body image, you may have a low self-esteem and a negative view of your sexuality. When it comes to building your self-esteem and a positive body image, start by focusing on those body parts you love about yourself. Learn to talk positively about your body every day, aloud – to yourself even choma. You will eventually learn to accept even those body parts you initially didn’t believe were beautiful. The more you talk only positive things about your body, the more you learn to love yourself.

So choma, sexual freedom is your right to develop and express your unique sexuality, at your own time, with whomever you feel most comfortable and won’t judge you for expressing your right to sexual freedom. You don’t have to have sex in order to learn to develop sexually responsible behaviour.

Choma, remember that sexual freedom doesn’t mean having more than one sexual partner, as that increases your chances of pregnancy and contracting STIs like HIV. Having one sexual partner can give you enough confidence to fully express yourself fully. Having more than one partner may not give you the right space to explore yourself sexually. Sexual freedom means you have an opportunity to live a whole, open life where you can develop real, close relationships. You get to develop a positive self-esteem because you genuinely accept yourself for who you are and don’t have to hide your identity, so no stress choma.
