it’s okay to have clumsy and awkward sex and it’s actually really common

the ability to laugh while you’re lying tangled and naked together bc you realize just how silly something is is really really intimate and trusting, and it’s the best feeling to be like that with someone and to be relaxed

it happens with long-term partners, it happens on hookups, and it’s rarely as bad as it’s always made out to be, except we usually think it’s bad we’re told that’s not how sex is supposed to go. but that’s not true. 

it can still be passionate and intimate while being messy and clumsy, absolutely. you don’t need to “perform well.” sex isn’t a show: it’s about feeling good. sometimes it takes experimenting to figure out what feels good, and fumbles and awkward moments and laughter is all just part of it. sometimes that’s a huge part of the fun.

enoughtohold:

if you’re going to make these assumptions that non-asexual people are “sex-happy,” have sex frequently or at all, have uncomplicated relationships to sex, are sexually attracted to strangers or other people they don’t have a strong bond with, etc., then you have to accept that there are TONS of people who fit your definition of asexual who are not part of any identifiable asexual community, who may not ever identify as asexual, who do not necessarily agree with any theories, politics, or systems of identification developed by asexual communities, but whose feelings and ways of relating to sexuality are just as valid as yours, and you have no way of knowing who they are. and when you assume that someone must not be one of these people, must embody every expectation you have about non-asexual people, solely because they do not identify as asexual, you are making very invasive and inappropriate assumptions about another person’s personal, private sexual feelings and that is not okay. and in particular when you do this to lgbt people, women, people of color, and especially people at the intersections of those groups, you are reinforcing ideas about their relationships to sexuality that play a significant role in their oppression.

Leo Personal Planets

astrolovecosmos:

Leo Sun: Leo’s ruling planet is the Sun, with a Leo Sun we see a vibrant expression. Self expression, defined identity, taking pride in themselves and what they do, and recognition for who they are or for what they do is at the forefront. Warmth and generosity is seen in the personality somehow. Leadership is such a huge keyword for Leo, when in the Sun you do get someone who at least leads in symbolism with their identity and self. 

Leo Moon: When the Moon is in Leo emotions and pride are connected. What does this mean? At times we might see the Leo Moon act more arrogant and overly confident than the Sun to protect the dignity of the emotional self. Protection and honor of the self and ego is a priority, so do pay attention to the Sun sign. The Leo Moon also has a huge drive to express and usually creatively. There is also warmth, generosity, and playfulness in their emotional nature. Leo Moon is truly that bright Moon reflecting the Sun’s light. 

Leo Mars: When Mars goes into Leo then war is on a stage. Things get dramatic, assertive, and pride, arrogance, or stubbornness can be a big downfall. Power and heat are themes in how their energy is dispersed, vitality is used, and the essence of their drive. I once wrote Fire Mars tend to get angry by offenses to the ego, this can really be seen with Leo Mars. Because Leo is so strongly associated with expression anyone with this placement will always EXPRESS what their Mars wants and feels. Dominance, power plays, becoming opinionated, and becoming unmoving are themes wrapped up in Leo Mars as we see the association of “royalty” and the “fixed mode”. Showing “creativity” in how they express their anger could happen with Leo Mars. Passion, lust, and making an impression in the bedroom is likely. Leo Mars is Mars fighting like a ruler and making love like a queen/king. 

Leo Venus: Venus in Leo loves like a queen/king and sometimes like a prima donna. Because Leo is so connected to things like creativity, impression, and identity they look for a partner who strongly show these things. In love themselves they are playful, lustful, passionate, generous but equally selfish, sometimes demanding or dramatic. Most of all the bonds with their loved ones need to blossom with giving and warmth or turn into something stage-worthy with plenty of activity and strong feelings. 

Leo Mercury: Mercury in Leo is creative in their self-expression, can be confident, opinionated, a performer, and sometimes a show-off. Mercury in Leo desires a podium, stage, or balcony to speak from. Mercury in Leo may be the bigger showman than all the other personal planets. Mercury is communication and mentality in the sign who is the leader and embodiment of self expression. 

*Sun in Leo wants recognition and solidarity in who they are. Moon in Leo wants to feel special. Mars in Leo wants power or at least their anger heard and attended to. Venus in Leo wants to be the center of your world. Mercury in Leo wants the spotlight.
