Sex and Pride

Austin
Hello! 
I want to open up a discussion about being proud of your sex life. I don't mean parading about trying to get laid as many times as you can so you can brag about it. 
I read a few posts in a discussion about how many people you've had sex with, and I didn't even post because I felt ashamed. I wasn't like the other girls who were posting about their sex lives, because I'd actually had one, and felt out of place. 
Im 22. I lost my vitginity at 16, to my best friend. I told myself the sex we had was amazing, and I thought I loved him. It wasn't, and after 2 years, I realized that I didn't. In the next few years, I made a few choices that lead me to choose to have sex. Over the years, I've slept with 9 people. I'm not always proud of the choices that lead to those encounters, but I am proud that I had the choice.
I'm getting married to the love of my life in three years, and we nearly always have beautiful sex. We make love, we have kinky sex, we enjoy each others bodies together. And I think that's fantastic.
He's had sex with maybe 3 people, and at first that was an issue for me. I felt ashamed that I'd had sex with more people. But now, it's not even an issue. If he doesn't care, then I don't either. 
I am a woman who chooses to have sex and doesn't judge anyone no matter how many or how few sexual partners they've had in their lifetime.
Think about it this way. I love candy, I mean I REALLY LOVE CANDY. I love jolly ranchers, I love payday bars, I love nerds rope, I love twizzlers, I love candy. I just do. Are you going to judge me just because I love candy?
I wouldn't judge you if you didn't.
