Editor's Note
Sex, most of us do it. Many of us want to do it. Some of us have done it. It’s the circle of life. However, it’s one of those hush hush topics that scares many people and makes it hard to talk about. Lots of women have issues with sex and all things related but there aren’t many places to seek advice. As a christian, I have always found it odd that one of the most important parts of life is left out of religious conversations. I’ve learned about sex from watching television and listening to music. However, many of us learn from trial and error. As a women’s leader, I have had many females approach me for advice on the matter: concerned about potentially “giving it up” to the wrong person. I believe that one can have love without sex but no one can have sex without love, at least not good sex. Thus, why I thought this would make a great topic to discuss in this issue of Qween. Qween a safe space for all women’s issues.
Sex has always been a treasure that can be used to strengthen bonds between two people. While that may be true, there is more to it. Sex has been policed by religious groups for centuries and women are always valued based on how much of it she has and by her ability to have it. Which is rather odd because practice makes perfect, right? Men will marry the woman that he respects but not always the one he lust for. In addition, men cheat on their wives more commonly than women cheat on their husbands. The very thing men claim to dislike in women is what they seem to look for in their mistresses. I could never forget the season of Sex In The City when Charlotte waited for sex, with what she thought was the perfect man, and the night before her wedding, she gave it up but he couldn’t get it up. He experienced psychological issues with how he saw her. He respected her in a similar manner in which he respected his mother but he didnt lust for her. Instead, he lusted for “dirty women” in porn magazines. Maybe she jinxed it by jumping the gun but this isn’t an isolated incident. I have studied successful and unsuccessful marriages and realized that each relationship may be different but everyone wants pleasure and fulfillment in and out of the bedroom. In a perfect world, a man should respect his wife and lust for her like he does for no other. Sex is amazing but it is sacred and should not be shared outside of a union.
In addition to marriage and bonding, sex has many health benefits and can affect how people communicate and feel about themselves and one another. Humans learn through associations and people have learned to associate sex with love and an array of things in society today. Sexual fetishes have been imprinted into people’s psyche. These fetishes can be reinforced and ostracized by society simultaneously. Many sexual issues can occur in both men and women, especially after experiencing trauma. Trauma can manifest in extreme and subtle ways and go unnoticed. It is extremely important that more people are aware of the psychological effects certain behaviors can have on the mind. Though sexual trauma can influence behavior, behavior can create trauma. However, some things aren’t permanent and can be treated. With this issue of sex, the hope is to help people understand the ramifications of certain behaviors while helping people to enhance their sexual experiences.
