I've often contemplated what It would be like to redo the loss of virginity with someone who truly values and appreciates me. Perhaps I would ejaculate quickly or she might be self-conscious about the shape of her vulva, but neither of those things matter. Even if I do finish quickly she would be supportive and laugh it off with me and I would kiss and show my affection for her vulva and we could be loving and supportive of our imperfections because that is what makes us unique and what makes intimacy beautiful; loving because of the authenticity of our imperfections. And affectionate aftercare is just as important as sex.
XOXO,
