Let’s Talk About Sexual Values (Patreon)
Content
Hey there, amazing humans!
We’ve all spent time reflecting on our values in life—family, friends, work, health—but when’s the last time you thought about your sexual values?
Yup, sexual values.
So, what are sexual values? They’re the things that matter most to you in your sexual and romantic relationships—including the one you have with yourself (yes, that counts too!). These values shape how you engage with others and how you want others to engage with you—sexually. It’s about identifying the sexual connections that feel right, safe, and fulfilling for you, and deciding who you want to share those experiences with—in bed (or elsewhere 😜).
Here’s an example: maybe your sexual values include things like safer sex practices, consent, trust, fun, respect, or curiosity. Or maybe it’s important that sex feels like a safe space to explore or a way to connect deeply with your partner(s). Whatever your values are, they shape your behaviors, feelings, and thoughts around sex—and life.
We rarely sit down and think about this stuff, but when we do, it can be a total game-changer. Knowing your sexual values helps you communicate better, set clearer boundaries, and enjoy more meaningful sexual connections.
🤔 So, let’s do this together:
• Have you ever thought about what your sexual values are?
• What’s important to you in your sexual or romantic relationships—or in the way you connect with yourself if you’re not partnered?
Take a moment to reflect (or jot some ideas down if you’re a journaler like me) and share your thoughts with us in the comments below. 👇
