10 Most Important Things to Learn About Sex
7. Brains don’t make you immune to hormones.
I was pretty smart and strong when I was young but sometimes I acted tougher and more worldly than I was. People can sometimes mistake strength and brains for a certain type of invulnerability, and sometimes it’s easy to try to keep up that persona.No one is so worldly that they don’t need to feel loved or so smart that they don’t make bonehead moves in pursuit of that need. Smart people don’t pretend they know everything and the bravest thing you can do sometimes is admit to being vulnerable.
8. Safety first
One of the most important things I’ve found out over the years is that if someone is worth having sex with they will not mind talking about safety - they will want to talk about it. If it feels uncomfortable, let me tell you what’s infinitely more uncomfortable: sitting in some dumpy clinic bargaining with whatever god is handy that you don’t have what you think you have. You’ll never find “Just be lucky!” on any sexual safety tip sheet unless it came from The Onion. Just be smart instead. You’ll sleep better.
