What is Turn on the Lights?
Many of us are in the dark when it comes to sex, relationships, and communication.
Have you ever wondered about:
If so, you're not alone.
Turn On The Lights is sex education for grown-ups -- and now that you're not in high school, no one has to pretend sex and relationships are bad.
Common statements about adult sex education:
Q: "But, Andi, I already know how my body works! I don't need sex ed!"
A: Actually, a lot is missing from the sex ed you got as a teenager. Real sex education would have included information on your emotions, how to navigate a successful relationship, and what to say about safe sex. This goes beyond your physical body.
Most people aren't in touch with their bodies - they've forgotten how to have the passionate relationships of their teenage years (without all that drama). There's an epidemic of women who feel bored, disappointed, and angry about their sex lives. There are hoards of men who feel unfulfilled by sex and don't know how to have passionate, emotional relations and still keep their "man card". These are the things you need adult sex ed for.
Q: "My relationship is fine. Why should I take time for adult sex education?"
A: If you still have something to gab with your girlfriends about, you need adult sex education. One common misconception about sex ed is there is a finite amount of information you need for your life, and that's it. Your sex life actually will - and should! - change throughout your adult life, and adult sex ed will help you navigate those changes.
Q: "I'm not interested in having sex. I don't need adult sex education."
A: Adult sex ed is about more than intercourse! Your sex life includes your relationship with yourself. As long as you have a body, you need adult sex education.
Have you ever wondered about:
- How to ask your new partner about their sexual health history? (Or if it's still important for adults? Hint: it is!)
- Why arguments feel like the end of the world in your relationship?
- How to end a relationship without having a dramatic scene?
- What people really look for in your online dating profile?
- Why you feel so uncomfortable talking about sex?
- How to avoid feeling like your partner is a stranger?
If so, you're not alone.
