sex education for beginners, by yours truly, Giuliana, your sex guru 😉

I know how hard it can be to look for reliable information about your first time having sex and how overwhelming it is as well. You don’t know who’s advice to follow or who is telling the truth. Here’s a little secret, nobody knows what they’re doing.

Sex is about having fun and discovering yourself on the way. Figuring out what you like and what you definitely don’t like. Is not the same for everyone and that’s the magic of it. But, there are six rules that I follow religiously and recommend to anyone.

6 rules for having sex and not die in the process

Condoms: the MVPS of the game

Alright, let’s kick things off with the real MVPs! Think of them as your bodyguards. Not only do they prevent unplanned surprises, but they also come in cool colors and textures these days. Bring them everywhere and never expect the guy to be the one bringing them.

Consent: coolest C word

Consent is the absolute rockstar of any intimate situation. Never assume, always ask, and if someone’s not into it, no biggie! Clear communication is like the hottest trend – it never goes out of style. Remember, a simple “Is this okay?” can make all the difference.

Protection beyond condoms

If condoms are like the superhero capes, birth control is the whole Avengers team. Explore your options, find what suits you best, and talk to a healthcare pro about it. Being in charge of your own reproductive destiny is what every girl should do.

STIS: not the souvenirs you want

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are like the worst souvenirs ever – you definitely don’t want to bring them home. Regular check-ups are your secret weapon against these unwanted guests. Be responsible, get tested, and keep your intimate space as clean as your skincare routine.

Communication: your new BFF

Upgrade your pillow talk game with open communication.  If you’re not comfortable talking about your desires, boundaries, or the latest Netflix binge, then you’re not ready to roll in the sheets together. Speak up, listen up, and create a space where everyone feels heard.

The 3 Ps: period, pregnancy and pee

Let’s talk about the three P’s – periods, pregnancy, and pee breaks.  Know your cycle, be aware of your fertility window, and always, always pee after sex. It’s the golden rule to prevent UTIs!

SEX EDUCATION SEASON 4 IS OUT NOW ON NETFLIX!

While you’re at it, I’ll recommend you this series that for me, is one of the best ones at the moment. It has humor and romance and it’s also educational. Whenever you feel lost in this big sex world, sex education has your back! Since the first chapter, I’ve felt deeply connected to all the problems the show talks about and also helps you solve a lot of doubts. 

At first, you’ll feel like you’re doing everything wrong but is very important NOT TO PANICK! Keep calm and know that everybody is figuring it out by themselves through time. No one was born knowing in this area. Always remember, practice makes it almost perfect.

The key is in communication, you need to let your partner know what you like and what you don’t. Over time you’ll start to get the hang of it and you will see the improvement in everything. Don’t freak out if stuff doesn’t happen the way you planned. You’re supposed to make mistakes, just enjoy the moment!
