Sometimes I wish I could open up a little portal to the past and send my younger self a letter with some information I wish I'd known or thought about when it comes to sex and relationships. What sort of thing would you choose to say, if you had that ability?
There are two main things I'd want to tell myself: one is that someone who approaches sex with a "what can I get this person to let me to do them" approach isn't going to be a great match for me, and will probably be a not-so-great partner in other areas. The other is that focusing on intercourse as The Ultimate Real Kind Of Sex is just going to cause a lot of stress in the long run, and it's fine to prefer other kinds of sex to intercourse and center those instead.
I'd also love to send Driver's Ed for the Sexual Superhighway: Navigating Consent to my younger self, too! I definitely could have used it when I was first navigating sexual relationships.
