Holiday Sex Survival Guide

The pressure and anticipation of the holidays is a problem in much the same way pressure and anticipation around sex can be.  As the norms and "shoulds" pile up (you should have a loving family and a partner, you should celebrate the holidays the way others do, you should be able to get through the month of December with a smile) many of us collapse under the weight.  We either don't have people to help or don't know how to ask for it.  At the risk of sounding trite, sex can help.  Being sexual, in a completely non-performative way, is something we can all do, and do for ourselves.  It will look different on different people, but difference is hot.  

Whether your anticipating a tricky couple of weeks at the end of the year or not, take a minute today to breathe deep, show some love to yourself and maybe a few people around you, and remember that January is just around the corner.    ~  Cory
