I like whips. I like handcuffs. I like the feeling of being in charge. But, I also enjoy it when he tells me what to do. I’m always excited to try new sex toys or positions. I know it might surprise some, but when I started being adventurous in the bedroom and the living room and the shower, I noticed my confidence start to increase when I walked out of the bedroom into business meetings and grocery stores. Sex made my life BETTER. Sex made me MORE COURAGEOUS. Okay, so I thought it was just me (because I like sex), so I asked a few of my friends about it. My friends already know I’ll ask them anything under the sun, so they weren’t surprised when I threw out this one:
“Any of ya’ll feel super confident after sex?”
They looked at me and started laughing. They weren’t laughing at my question, but at the thought that I had to ask the question.
All of them, every last one of them, with laughter, said…”Hell YEAH!”.
So, I’m not alone when I say that sex builds your courage and confidence. I believe it with all of my heart.
So, I’m saying “F*** the rules and do it more.
