Ignore societal pressures and focus on personal pleasure from "summary" of Sex From Scratch by Sarah Mirk
Societal pressures around sex are everywhere. From media to family and friends, we are bombarded with messages about how we should behave sexually. These messages can be overwhelming and confusing, leading us to feel ashamed or guilty about our desires and preferences. However, it's important to remember that these norms and expectations are not set in stone. We have the power to question and challenge them. When it comes to sex, focusing on personal pleasure is key. Instead of trying to fit into a certain mold or meet external expectations, we should prioritize what feels good and fulfilling to us individually. This means exploring our own desires, boundaries, and needs without judgment or shame. By tuning into our own pleasure, we can cultivate a more authentic and satisfying sexual experience. It's important to recognize that pleasure looks different for everyone. What feels good to one person may not be the same for another. This is why it's crucial to listen to our bodies and communicate openly with our partners. By being honest about our needs and desires, we can create a space for mutual pleasure and enjoyment. Ignoring societal pressures and focusing on personal pleasure is an act of self-love and empowerment. It allows us to break free from the constraints of societal norms and embrace our authentic selves. By prioritizing our own pleasure, we can cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and confidence in our sexual experiences. So, let go of external expectations and embrace what feels good to you. Your pleasure is valid and deserving of attention.
