Diary

Discovering your sexual self is an ever-evolving personal journey. Here are some suggestions to help you get to know your sexual self better.

LOOK WITHIN
Take time to reflect on your own desires, fantasies, interests and boundaries. Consider what turns you on, what makes you feel comfortable or uncomfortable, and what you find pleasurable. Journaling can be a helpful tool for self-reflection.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Learn about human sexuality through books, articles, reputable websites, and educational resources. Understanding the different aspects of intimacy, sexuality, anatomy, and sexual health can provide you with a foundation for exploring your own desires.


 
FIND YOUR VOICE  

Open and honest communication is crucial. Discuss your feelings, boundaries, and desires with your partner(s) if you have any. Consider sharing your preferences with an open-minded friend and appreciate how everyone likes different things. 

PLAY TIME

Explore different activities, techniques, or fantasies that pique your interest. Experimentation can involve self-pleasure or exploration with a partner. Remember to prioritize consent, safety, and mutual respect in all your sexual experiences.

SELF-LOVE
Masturbation is a natural and healthy way to understand your own body and what brings you pleasure. Take time to explore your erogenous zones, experiment with different techniques, and observe how your body responds. Try different stimuli, like playing music, adding lubricant or lighting a candle.
 
PRESENCE
Practicing mindfulness during sexual experiences can help you connect with your body and sensations more deeply. Focus on the present moment, you may connect through breath, sight, smell, touch, sound or taste. Pay attention to your body's responses, and embrace the experience without judgment.
 
SEEK PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE 
If you feel the need for more support, consider reaching out to a sex therapist or counselor. They can provide a safe space to discuss your concerns, offer guidance, and help you navigate any challenges or uncertainties.
 
Remember, everyone's journey of self-discovery is unique, and there is no right or wrong way to explore your sexual self. It's important to prioritize your own comfort, consent, and well-being throughout the process.
