This is going to be a sex-related post, so if that sort of thing makes you uncomfortable, I suggest not reading it…

So, right now I am taking only one class this summer semester. I had originally signed up for two, but I dropped out of the other one. The professor didn’t explain things clearly, yet expected us to know everything anyway. It was like drowning in confusion every time, so I figured the reasonable solution would be to withdraw, get my money back, and take it with a different professor in the Fall.

The class I am currently taking is called Biology of Human Sexuality, and it satisfies three of my required six science credits. After I’m done with this class, I’ll be done with science, since last semester I took Environmental Science. Yeah!

This class has been extremely interesting so far. Basically, we learn about the human body (the male and female anatomy), puberty, pregnancy, hormones, menopause…. and, of course, sex. Right now we are covering the female anatomy, and on Tuesday I’ll be having an exam on the male anatomy. My professor is so cool, she’s a nice lady who makes the subjects less intimidating, and she makes it fun and interesting. She keeps reminding us that she never gets embarrassed, so we can ask her anything we want to know about, and she’ll tell us anything we want to know. And, this is totally random, but my professor looks JUST like Irene from Faccia Bella. I swear she does! haha

Every Thursday from now on, we will be having presentations. My personal presentation is due July 16, and I chose the topic of In Vitro. I wanted to choose a “safe” topic, so I wouldn’t be up there blushing like an idiot, having to use words like “clitoris” in front of my class LOL… I can talk about sex with my friends, but in front of strangers (or parents, omg) tends to embarrass me a little.

One girl gave her presentation yesterday. The topic she did was “Sex Therapy”. She said she wants to be a therapist someday, and she finds the topic of counseling married couples interesting. She basically talked about sexual dysfunctions, such as erectile dysfunction, loss of interest in sex (low libido), lack of communication between partners, sexual repression, etc. Many of these things can be helped if the couple simply talked to each other about their sexual feelings.

Her presentation made me start to think about sexual communication, if that makes sense. My boyfriend and I are verbal in bed, and I don’t mean we have conversations during sex, haha, but I mean we let each other know if we don’t like something, or if we want to do something different, etc. We also like to talk about our sexual experiences we have together, too. We discuss pretty much everything, and nothing is left unsaid. If I don’t like something, I let him know. If he wants to try something new, he lets me know, and we talk about it. We gush over how amazing and romantic it was, and we make sure we’re always on the same page, so that neither of us feels unhappy, repressed, or frustrated.

Unfortunately, not all couples do this, and that causes tension and confusion for some people. We always make it a point to tell each other everything, and sex definitely is included in that. I think I’ve met my sexual match…it’s special and amazing each and every time for us.

I have a few questions…. feel free to answer any of them in your comments!

1) Do you discuss your feelings about sex with your boyfriend/girlfriend?
2) Do you have certain things you would like to try/experiment with, but are too nervous to let them know?
3) If your partner wanted you to do something sexual that you didn’t agree with, would you do it anyway just to please him/her?
4) Do you feel that things are “equal” between you and your partner when it comes to sex?
5) If you are unmarried, do you ever feel guilty or ashamed after having sex?
6) Does your family/friends know that you are sexually active? If so, do they have any negative opinions about you having sex?
