I've learned this the hard way and I wanted to talk about it There's this temporary feeling of happiness because you know like scientifically like, you know brain chemicals dopamine and blah blah blah But then if you're not in a healthy relationship, you're not in a healthy relationship.
Like, why would you want to destroy your mental health? You know, like why would you want to disrespect yourself? It won't make you happy in the long run. That's what I fucking learned and I was like fuck. I'm so stupid.
I wouldn't say sex makes me happy per se but it definitely affects my levels of happiness and my mental health. Sex plays a big part in my relationships. I don't really enjoy sex outside of relationships though, I like connection.
I don't know this may sound like really toxic and weird and red flaggy But if you're in an unhealthy relationship sex can be really hot. You know, like you screw the shit out of them.
I'm happy to have sex even in an unhealthy relationship because it's that euphoria feeling. It's like a drug, a high, right? But, you know, I will never forget that I have an unhealthy relationship but it's an opportunity for me to work it out, you know? But sex is not only it.
I believe that if you have the consent from your partner to have sex, even in an unhealthy relationship, it's a form of respect. And respect is a huge thing. To have that in your foundation, it would be fun to have sex... healthy.
Well, it's a tricky question because if you're in a whole unhealthy relationship, sex would not even occur because you'd be so pissed off and frustrated by...
But let's say if you manage somehow to have sex with a person that you're in an unhealthy relationship with, I believe it has to be the right thing to do.
Well, there's a difference between sex, the action, and sex that's actually gratifying and pleasurable to yourself and to your partner. So I think there's a key difference.
Back when I was going through my whole phase, yes. Now it's just like, it's every once in a while, it just spikes up out of nowhere. My boyfriend would be like, oh my gosh, what's going on with you today? I was like, I don't know, but give me some of that.
Well, personally, I cannot say much on the matter because intimacy has always made me happy and I've never been in an unhealthy relationship. But coming from me, sex or intimacy should always be a beautiful thing.
There should always be respect and it should always be fun. If you find yourself feeling horrible about yourself after any type of intimate encounter, then yeah, it's time to walk away.
