Teen girls have a sexual exploration to do in THEIR OWN terms and pace. Like teen boys. They figure out their sexuality. They figure out what clothes they want to wear - what makes them look and feel good. They have crushes, want to kiss, dream of having sex, etc..
It& #39;s normalized (celebrated in fact) how teen boys, with puberty, come in terms with their sexuality. Discover masterbation. Have wet dreams. Discover porn. Talk about sex. And sexually explore themselves.
And it& #39;s the fucking same with teen girls as well.

I know y& #39;all aren& #39;t ready for this conversation. However, saying this, it& #39;s NOT an invitation/validation for older men AT ALL.
What I mean, is younger women and girls need a safe/accepting space of their own to discover their sexuality in their own terms, or even talk about it.

And this means, not shaming young women for their choices - clothes, hair, likes, dislikes, sexuality, bodies, expression and so on. And young women not being ashamed for having sexual desires or wanting to know more about their bodies, likes and dislikes.
I know this is a difficult thing to grasp because conversation around young women& #39;s sexuality is often paired with violence, shame, compliance with male desires, silence and a weird sense of pride of "innocence", but never has the conversation been about pleasure, fun and care.
But the more we shame young women, the more it& #39;s gonna be the same.
