Great Date Question

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned this year?
Kait: Who you are becoming by the things you’re doing?
JJ: Intentional growth.

‍

What are the lies associated with “never been kissed”

Feels like people ASSUME you need X experience
I feel unprepared
Feeling like I am behind or missing out
Feeling like something is WRONG with me
Unworthy
Unchosen
Like a child
Some mentioned they keep it to themselves because it’s discredited them in the past.

‍

What do WE think about “KISSING”?

We think it’s okay to kiss.
There’s a deeper question here though. Can you kiss without it going further? Can you kiss without lusting?
Is it worth going there?

‍

Why is it a blessing to “never been kissed” in some ways?

You don’t kiss a ton of people and form ties to people who are NOT for you.
During the DATING phase can be such a blessing to wait to kiss because your vision isn’t distorted. You can remain objective.

‍

On the flip side…Do some people hold it TOO rigidly?

Idolized to the point it elevates you morally and makes you prideful about it.
There is a balance between being proud of yourself for holding a boundary and then being prideful and feeling better than others because you’ve not kissed someone. Unfortunately this usually comes from purity culture teaching people to shut down their bodies.

The funny part is that both sides of the pendulum are wrong because they are inherently defining you.

A Few Things To Touch On

SHAME from being kissed when you didn’t provide consent. Men, always asking for conscent is GREAT.
If ASKING for consent is going to kill the mood, the mood is not that stable to begin with!
Speak up for needs and boundaries.
Don’t shrink boundaries to people please.
