Good news: you’re totally not weird. It’s completely normal to think about sex a lot (yes, even during class), especially when you’re in your early teens and going through puberty. You’re dealing with a lot of hormonal stuff right now and so you’re going to experience changes in your body. One of those changes will be thinking about sex. And that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

I completely understand feeling really awkward about thinking about sex. I’ve been there and so have a lot of other girls. Unfortunately, society sometimes makes us girls feel like we shouldn’t be thinking about sex. But that’s not true! Thinking about having sex, being curious about what it’s all about and even looking up porn is actually healthy. It’s good for you to learn about sex before, you know, actually doing it.

I’m not saying you need to go out there and shout about it from the rooftops – you don’t have to tell anyone your thoughts about sex. Some people are more vocal about this stuff while others are a little more shy. Sex is a really personal thing and it’s not something you need to share with everyone around you.

So, seriously, don’t worry. It’s very normal to feel awkward about thinking about sex and it’s also very normal to think about sex. That awkward feeling will go away when you get comfortable with yourself and your sexuality.

take care,
Heather
