Sometimes it’s not the monsters under your bed . . . it’s the monsters IN your bed that have you scared! 😱
Sex-related anxieties are common, but they don’t have to keep you from living the life you want.
This spooky season, we’re revealing the oh-so-human needs underneath some of those monster-mask fears:
👻 Your body's “flaws”
You’ve probably heard it affirmed in a thousand different ways, but that doesn’t make it any less true: A partner that’s right for you won’t find fault with your body—even if you do.
This fear is telling you that you crave unconditional acceptance. And guess what? You deserve it.
👻 Unenthusiastic consent
If you’re afraid of being stuck in a painful (or even just straight-up not pleasurable) situation, take it as a sign from within: It’s time to build trust with yourself. Practice “yes” and “no” when the stakes are lower, and it might get easier in other aspects of life.
👻 STIs and unintended pregnancy
These fears are a prompt to fulfill the needs RHC is all about: education, empowerment, and access to reproductive care. If you're seeking support, it's here: https://incontrolnebraska.com/
