The number of men and women I have had sex with is higher than the number of years that I have been alive In the last year or so I have had a lot of sex with my primary partner, sex with an occasional lover, foot sex with a play partner, orgasms in public dungeons with several different people, and a few nights ago I had some fingering fun with an acquaintance in the pool at a party.

I like sex.

Society tells me that because of this I am a slut.

I don’t care. I like sex.

Society doesn’t care that the sex is ethical, that safety precautions are taken, that I am a healthy, well-adjusted adult who is quite capable of making decisions about the people with whom I choose to have sex.

Whatever—I like sex.

Society thinks I should repress my sexuality and feel ashamed for wanting to fuck—to share sexual energy with different people—to enjoy life, and love, and fingers, and genitals, and tongues, and orgasms.

Fuck that. Yes, I like sex, and yes, I am a slut.

Deal with it.
