Hey there, Reader
So this week on the Hump Day Hotline, one of the topics we covered was about slut shaming and kink shaming. A follower submitted a question about being shamed and what to do when it happens.
My answer is that it says more about the person doing the shaming and where their work is than it does about her.
Also, there is a big difference between secrecy and privacy. Not everyone needs or deserves unfettered access to you and your private life.
This got me thinking about judging and shaming in general. As a Sex Coach, part of my mission is to help people break free from sexual shame, but what I have seen this week among my fellow Americans really drove home the point that judging and shaming each other over anything is lose-lose game every time.
While I am open-minded about sexuality, I am guilty of judging and shaming other's political views at times. But I made a promise to myself and now you that I can and will do better. A house divided against itself falls. We are still in this life together. We are all citizens of earth and shaming each other for our sexual preferences or anything else only makes the division a whole lot worse.
Yes, we can disagree but a little acceptance and tolerance goes a very long way.
So. Will you join me in being more open hearted and accepting?
At the end of the day we all want the same things: Love, Prosperity, Joy, Connection and Safety.
I know we can do it togetherπ.
