International Women's Day Sexual Empowerment

To celebrate International Women’s Day which honors the achievements of women worldwide, we will have a look at what female sexual empowerment is.

Although empowerment can take many different forms, they always revolve on a person having control over something. For women, it means upholding their self-worth, making their own decisions, and having the freedom to affect societal change for everyone, not just themselves. It can mean taking control of their body, embracing sexuality and the ability to influence the sexual behavior that occurs within her relationship and communicate her sexual desires.

Sexual empowerment isn't something that comes overnight; for many, it's a lifelong process. These are some easy steps you may take to begin your path to sexual empowerment:

Embracing your body and being comfortable with it. Body image is important especially in todays society but by being comfortable with your body image and accepting it is one way to sexual empowerment. You can start by looking after your physical health like eating healthy, getting quality rest, being active and positive relationship with others.

Communication is always the key. Be open with your partner about your sexual well-being and needs. Communication can help you and your partner in discovering preferences and can also lead to enhanced pleasure.

Discover and explore self pleasure. Getting to know yourself sexually is often the key in embarcing your sexuality as part of yourselves. This can also lead to positive intimacy with others.
