Public service announcement to all the young, naïve girls dating a Florida Man:
Nobody really dies from blue balls. They’re just trying to guilt you into having sex. The sperm does not “crawl into the brain” or anything like that, as they will try to make you believe. Yes, someone actually said that once.
If you DO want to have sex, and DO NOT want kids, make sure you’re using contraceptives. Google that word to learn more. Mountain Dew does not actually prevent pregnancies, that’s just a myth.
If you do NOT want to have sex, tell them no. If you tell them “no” and they ignore your request, and you reasonably believe they’re trying to rape you, then you have every right to stand your ground.
2017 was a breakthrough year for increasing accountability for those who have sexually abused others. Let’s continue that trend by treating others with respect, and by demanding respect. If you see someone getting harassed, speak up. If someone has hurt you, speak up. We cannot afford to pretend that we live in a perfect world, but we can do everything in our power to make it a better place.
