For me, sex has always been about connection—whether it's with a partner or just connecting with my own body. Masturbation is an essential part of my sex life, and I don’t think there’s any shame in that. Sometimes, I think people forget how important it is to understand your own desires before you can truly share them with someone else. It’s like getting in tune with what makes you feel good, and I believe that’s an integral part of having a healthy sexual life. You don’t have to always rely on a partner to experience pleasure—sometimes the best sexual experiences are the ones you have alone.
The idea of sex being something as simple as masturbation is something I’ve been exploring more lately. We all have different needs and desires, and for some, solo experiences are more than enough. The story from the Netherlands you mentioned really made me think about how differently people can define sex. It’s not always about having a partner or engaging in the stereotypical “sex act.” For many, masturbation is not only a release but a form of self-love and care. It’s empowering to acknowledge that our sex lives don’t have to fit a specific mold.
As for the Netherlands, I think we often glamorize places that have more liberal views on sex, but it’s important to recognize that those cultural shifts don’t always translate into more openness on a personal level. I’ve been to places where people are more open-minded on paper, but when you get to know the culture, you realize there’s still a lot of discomfort surrounding sex. So, while I think the Netherlands has made strides in sexual rights, it doesn’t necessarily make them the gold standard of sexual freedom.
At the end of the day, sex is whatever it means to you. It doesn’t have to follow anyone else’s definition. Whether it’s a physical act with a partner or an intimate solo experience, it’s all valid. I think we need to keep redefining sex in ways that work for us as individuals, not as society dictates.
