This is a suggestion to have sex with your friends. Its ok. Don't believe the lie that sex is a poison that ruins everything.
Platonic intimacy is wonderful and necessary. Also, you don't get extra points for denying yourself pleasure to adhere to impossible purity standards.

I mean think about it: With a trusted, HEALTHY friendship:
- there's already a solid foundation
- there's already boundaries
-if you've built platonic intimacy, you know even more things that will aid in a healthy, emotionally safe sexual experience.

And that goes DOUBLE for the Queers. Saving sex for partnership is based on an outdated assumption that all partnerships are heterosexual. What does saving sex for relationships matter in a system that doesn't recognize our relationships as valid in the first place?
But hold up- build that platonic intimacy first. (Queer POC are REAL good at this). Be vulnerable with your friends. Friends are more than "networks". They're more than placeholders until the person you wanna marry comes along. They're treasures-treat them like they are.
Like...its okay to cry to your friends. To be share joy with your friends.
And my Lorde,
TOUCH. YOUR. FRIENDS.
If y'all are friends offline, how yall been friends for 3 years but you don't know what their arm feels like? That's not wild to you?
Platonic intimacy.

Chiiile...this thread has reached the straights. That must be what happened. Live your life how you want, but leave these wild ass reactions for your own timelines, kay? Binaries, relationship assumptions, and cliches work for y'all. So keep them and keep it moving.
Also... yall know ppl already do this, right? Y'all know alot of you already HAVE done this, right? Im just wondering what happens if we don't attach shame to every sexual behavior and actually learn how to engage in healthy sexual practices in more than one or two cliche ways.
I talk about sex with these things in mind:
- sex isnt inherently bad
- we're not all boys and girls
- we're not all Christians or crystal incense mystics
- LGBTQ ppl exist
You don't have to agree, but if you're having a wild reaction to my above tweets, this might be why.

Muting cause this is alot. But simply stated, this is friends with benefits. Which ppl already do. All the time.
"This never works for me" is not the same as "this is impossible and bad".

YIKES Y'ALL. First tweet was unclear. I get why y'all are throwing dictionaries at me now. 😬😬
