“When I think back to my high-school sex ed classes, the message was always very clear: 'Don't have sex, but if you are going to do it, make sure you love the person and are in a relationship.' While that's decent advice, it's not necessarily realistic. Sex in a relationship is great, but life doesn't always work out that way. Maybe you haven't found 'the one' or maybe you're not looking. In the meantime, as long as you're playing safe and not hurting anyone, there's nothing shameful or wrong about having sex because you enjoy it.”
