Good sex makes me feel empowered and comfortable in my body and with my sexuality

If you had asked me this question when I was a teenager I would have said "good sex is when both parties have wild, erotic, loud, sweaty, exciting sex." That, I have learned, is not it. First of all, good sex includes ongoing consent from both parties, as well as comfortability and respect for the other person's body. Contrary to my younger self, I don't believe sex is a performance or a goal. I find that sex is emotional and vulnerable and, in some ways, an expression of myself. It is a mechanism in which I explore other parts of my sexuality. Good sex happens when I feel empowered to be sexual in my truest forms, and when my vulnerability is met with affirmation and support. Good sex makes me feel closer to myself, and comfortable in my body.
