Final Principle
Sexual growth is not measured by how far you go. It is measured by how consciously you choose.
You do not have to try everything. You do not have to like everything. You do not have to turn every fantasy into reality. You do not have to become more extreme. You do not have to prove liberation. You do not have to prove experience. You can be curious. You can be adventurous. You can be cautious. You can change your mind. You can discover something you love. You can discover something you never want again. You can say yes. You can say no. You can say not yet. And still recognize yourself the next morning.
The goal
Explore. Learn. Protect. Communicate. Respect. Choose. Become. The goal is not to become someone else sexually. The goal is to become deliberately yourself.
