At the end of the day, your sex is yours. No one can tell you what your sexual experience is but you. You have to start by connecting with yourself. How do I get comfortable in my body? What are the things that I'm uncomfortable with? Now how do I make these things pleasurable for myself? It is a self discovery process. And taking your pleasure out of other people's hands.
Sex is a normal part of human life, but it can also get complicated–whether you’re having it or not! The way we approach, think, and engage with our sexuality varies widely our culture, community, identity, and more. But one thing we can all strive for is healthy and safe sex. Siphumeze Khundayi and Tiffany Mugo are two sex educators and the co-founders of HOLAAfrica (HOLAA!) a Pan-Africanist digital platform that focuses on creating spaces that deal with safe sex and pleasure. Today they share insights on the kinds of mental and emotional tools we can turn to in order to have great sex, why it’s ok to take small steps on your sexual journey, and why it’s important to take ownership of your pleasure.
