How To Be An Adult - Tumblr Posts
my parents aren’t teaching me life lessons.
#i need some adults to TEACH ME SHIT ABOUT LIFE
Even if you are not having sex … or if you are, please keep these things in mind!
⭐️ let’s talk about sex… ⭐️
or rather, let’s talk about the things you don’t learn in sex ed. bc if you’re going to have sex, you should know the basics of staying healthy and happy while getting down and dirty 😏
⭐️ DO NOT use coconut oil to shave your 🐱 despite what you read in ig/twitter threads! it is NOT anti-bacterial and it does NOT moisturize anything. it WILL however cause razor burns, bumps, ingrown hairs, and possibly rashes. coconut oil can clog your pores and hair follicles, and it actually attracts certain bacteria that eats it. INSTEAD use conditioner or shaving cream, and moisturize with a thick creamy body lotion after rinsing 🚿
⭐️ speaking of coconut oil, DO NOT use it as lube! as i said, it can attract bacteria and you. do. not. want bacteria all up in your biz 🚫
⭐️ ALWAYS use a water-based lube 💦
⭐️ NEVER double-bag the 🍆!!! wearing two condoms DOES NOT make them more effective. it actually makes them less effective bc the friction between them can weaken the material and cause them to break ☠️☠️☠️
⭐️ on the topic of 🍆 safety: pulling out (or withdrawing) is one of THE WORST methods of contraception when used on its own. 👎🏼 HOWEVER it can be a good method to combine with other forms of contraception if you want to add some extra protection 😇
⭐️ since we’re here let’s talk about CONTRACEPTION real quick. NO TYPE OF CONTRACEPTION IS 100% SAFE! no matter what a company tells you, there is no form off contraception that is 💯% safe. it is however important to USE IT anyways, especially if you have multiple partners 👬👭👫
⭐️ if you want to, you can COMBINE contraceptions (e.g. the pill + condom, condom + withdrawal, iud + withdrawal, etc.), however this DOES NOT ensure that you’ll be better protected ⚔️
⭐️ of course GET CHECKED for STDs regularly if you have multiple partners BUT also get checked once in a while if you’re in a relationship. if a doctor is refusing to test you, see another doctor!! 💊
⭐️ SEX SHOULD NEVER EVER HURT!!! ❌ not even on your first time! if it hurts, STOP. it can hurt if you’re not properly “in the mood”, you need to be 💦💦💦 for the machinery to work right. BUT if the pain is reoccurring, please see a doctor! 👩🏾⚕️ the only time sex should hurt is when all participating parties agree on getting kinky with pain play 😈
⭐️ sex should be FUN for everyone involved! if you can’t LAUGH with the person you’re getting freaky with, you’re probably not doing it with the right person 🤷🏻♀️
⭐️ use DIRTY TALK to tell your partner(s) what you like without the awkwardness! 👅 there’s nothing HOTTER than someone moaning what they want you to do to them 🔥
⭐️ DON’T LET ANYONE MAKE YOU FEEL BAD FOR WHAT YOU LIKE! 🔪 whether you like casual sex, kinky sex, loud sex, loving sex, shower sex or no sex at all NEVER let anyone put you down for it!! BUT remember to be considerate of other people too 👻
⭐️ your 🍪 DOESN’T need to taste like 🌈!! it ain’t a candy store and if your partner doesn’t like that, DROP their ass ✋🏼 HOWEVER do not forget to keep yourself clean down there 🛁
⭐️ and if you have a 🍌 and you aren’t circumsized, WASH underneath the “peel” EVERY TIME you shower! 👏🏼
⭐️ NEVER feel obligated to do something you don’t want to do!!! NO MEANS NO, ALWAYS‼️
⭐️ ALWAYS HAVE FUN WITH IT 🎉
these are just some things i feel like everyone should know if they’re having sex. this is not a complete list! feel free to add anything you think should be common knowledge about sex 🍒
When you guys have visited potential apartments, what kind of questions did you ask besides the basics like what rent and utilities include?
