one thing that people seem to forget about when they read history is that there are some wild characters. this is especially true in ancient rome, where it was pretty normal for a man to sleep with people other than his wife as long as they noble virgins or already married to someone respectable. this meant that a lot of these famous roman dudes were constantly sleeping around. so even though these guys have been dead for 2000 slutty, slutty years, maybe you should think of them the next time you want to call a woman a slut

• antony: this roman slut to end all sluts wore his tunic hiked up high to show off his strong, sexy legs and i will not rest until everyone knows this. his death was the result of an affair he had with the queen of egypt
  
• caesar: well-known adulterer. once got some freaky messages from his current mistress while he was in a senate meeting, which were subsequently read by his mistress’s half-brother. was such a slut that he was once was called ‘every woman’s man and every man’s woman’
• catiline: was rumored to have used his body to gain followers. constantly surrounded by his slutty crew, which he attracted by his slutty means
  
• catullus: most of what he is known for is the wild affair he had with a married woman. once wrote a poem about having 9 bouts of sex with a girl in one day
• martial: half his poetry is about him having all sorts of (usually kind of miserable?) sex. kind of a freak in bed. really into BDSM
  
• horace: supposedly kept mirrors in his bedroom so he could put on a show for himself when he had a girl over, which may make him the first ancient roman porn director
  
• ovid: literally wrote a guidebook on how to have sex and pick up women. also wrote a poem about how he’d love to have sex with every girl in rome

honestly theres no way to not kinkshame the romans

anyway, let me know when christian purity culture is cancelled

On my 13th birthday my dad got me a purity ring and it was one of the only things that /he/ purposefully got for me without my mom’s input or anything. But I honestly had never even thought about sex until that point, I had a couple of crushes but I wasn’t interested in sex and it was literally sprung on me in the middle of opening presents. I had to sign this paper that came with it promising god and my father that I would save myself for marriage.

That shit is creepy dude, and I wish I told him no and I wish that men wouldn’t feel like they owned the sexualities of the women around them.

My school taught abstinence only sex ed and back in like, the sixth or seventh grade I think? we were given a contract that basically stated we swore we would not have sex before marriage and would never let any man other than our future husbands touch us and in exchange for signing the contract we were given a swag bag full of stuff (a bookmark, pencils, erasers, a bracelet) all with the phrase “I WILL WAIT” across them.

We technically had the option of refusing to sign the contract but the teacher heavily pressured all of us to do so and gave anyone who expressed doubt about it shit for it. This (and pretty much the entirety of those sex ed classes) was framed about ‘respecting’ ourselves and respecting our future husbands. At the time I didn’t think about it beyond “that’s weird but hey, free shit!” but the idea that our bodies and sexuality were essentially supposed to be controlled for the express purpose of keeping them ‘pure’ for some hypothetical man who we would marry at some undetermined point in the future was fucked up. The idea that our value was directly tied to what we did with our bodies and that we should refrain from any type of sex or even affection not because it was our choice but because that was what a potential man would expect from us was fucked up. Looking back, I’m disgusted that this was the shit that was taught to us.

watching a movie with a straight romance feels exactly like when you cant skip an ad on youtube

i love how many ppl are tagging this post “or ANY romance tbh” like no i was specifically referring to heterosexual romance because i hate the straights make no mistake about it

Maybe the problem isn’t the romance maybe its the fact you’re a horrendous human being who thinks hating 97% of the population is edgy or funny or not at all retarded.

Here’s a fix. Don’t watch those movies and keep your straight phobia to yourself.

straight phobia

 straight phobia is part of the toxic gay culture and I don’t appreciate it. if people of alt lifestyles want to be accepted its best not to alienate the peeps that are a majority and probably help you get shit done. 

“Straight phobia” isn’t real because people aren’t oppressed for being straight.

Gay people are:

*abused for being gay

*disowned for being gay

*raped for being gay

*killed for being gay

*assaulted for being gay

*denied rights for being gay

*sent to conversion therapy, which is abuse and normally ends in suicide, for being gay

Homophobia is real

Straight people are:

*sometimes made fun of by gay people, aka the demographic straight people directly harm

Heterophobia isn’t real
