Sexual Independence Day | The Feronia Project

This 4th of July why not take the time to celebrate the traditional holiday as well as your sexual independence? What is sexual independence, you ask? In my book, sexual independence is consensual sex, free of guilt and shame, a willingness to share yourself wholly and equally. It is self-confidence, knowing what you want (and don’t want) and the skill to communicate it. Sexual independence is being your true self during the most vulnerable moments. Here are 10 ways for you to celebrate Sexual Independence Day:

set off your own fireworks! – either by yourself, with a partner (or two), or in your head
don’t have sex and don’t feel guilty about it
ask your partner if they’d be willing to do that thing you’ve been thinking about
celebrate the trailblazers that have come before you – think Gloria Steinem and Margaret Sanger
buy a new sex toy
advocate on behalf of those who can not experience sexual independence due to circumstances beyond their control
talk openly to your children about their sexual health
love your body and all its perfect imperfections
respect that we are all created equally and should be afforded the same rights, both in the bedroom and out
take care of your health – sex feels better when you feel better

Feronians, we wish you a happy and healthy 4th of July! Be safe out there!

All comments are moderated by The Feronia Project before they are posted. By registering with our site you agree to keep your comments within our posting guidelines. Ultimately all comments are approved at the discretion of the moderators at The Feronia Project. We’ve borrowed the six guiding principles below from Greenpeace because they really got it right (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?)

1. The Feronia Project welcomes all users to join our community and to comment and treats all members of the community equally.

2. We want The Feronia Project to be home to open, transparent conversations in which people connect, discuss, share ideas, and debate the issues. Site your source if you are contradicting a statement made by the author.

3. We are also committed to maintaining a non-toxic atmosphere. We do not allow profanity, hate speech, nor do we allow speech that advocates or supports hatred or unlawful violence. Likewise, threats of violence or threats to anyone or any group's personal safety are not acceptable. We also do not allow false claims or misleading implications that any individual or group perpetuates hate or unlawful violence.

4. In order to preserve a functional and civil conversation, we do not allow trolls, trollish behavior, or stalking. We do not allow speech that is solely intended to provoke other users, to cause disorder or confusion, or to inhibit regular, on-topic conversation. In this area especially, we defer to the flags left by our users in the context of our growing community reputation system.

5. Be respectful of the blog author and community members by staying on topic with your comments.

6. Members of The Feronia Project deserve to be free from spam, and we do not allow posting the same comment multiple times within one thread or on multiple threads.
