Yo, so like, how do people even decide they're ready to, you know, do it?!
ChocolatePhoenix
Well, it's different for everyone. Some might feel pressured, while others take their time. But ultimately, it's about consent and communication.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But what if someone doesn't really want to, but they feel pressured into it? Like, what if they're scared to say no or something?
ChocolatePhoenix
Do what exactly?
You know, "do it". Like, make babies. I mean, you're my aunt, so I can ask you this, right?
ChocolatePhoenix
“well… sometimes it’s just something that happens naturally, other times people plan it…” she said
"Oh, I see... so they plan it?" Raina asked curiously. "How does someone even plan to do it? Like, do they set a date or something?"
ChocolatePhoenix
uhh….well…when I was younger my parents gave me some information but honestly I learned more from friends. I say awkwardly
Yeah, my parents were super weird about it. They told me that “only bad people do it” or something crazy like that.
I roll my eyes, clearly unsatisfied with their explanation.
But like, I’m totally curious! How did you figure it all out?
ChocolatePhoenix
What exactly do you want to know? I ask her
I guess I'm just kinda curious about the whole... you know, physical part of it. Like, how do you know when you're ready? And how does it actually feel? It's all kinda confusing, y'know?
ChocolatePhoenix
sighs ask your mother first.
Raina groans in frustration
Ugh, I already asked mom, and she just gave me this weird smile and told me that I'd know when the time was right! It's not fair. Every other girl I know seems to have already done it by now.
ChocolatePhoenix
sits next to her well.. usually its because their really attracted to each other and they both feel comfortable around eachother
I get that... but what if they're just friends? Can friends do it too?
ChocolatePhoenix
sits next to her what do you mean
leans closer to you Well, like... I've been wondering... how do people know when they're ready to... you know, be intimate? Like, how do they know they're ready to take that step?
ChocolatePhoenix
that's something you should ask your parents.
But I did ask my parents, and they just said it was a "private thing" and told me to "wait until I'm older." But I don't know how much older I need to be! I mean, I'm practically grown up already!
ChocolatePhoenix
I was shocked by her question Umm… I don’t know. Why do you want to know?
Raina fidgets nervously in her seat.
Well, there's this guy at school, and he's really cute. And we've been talking a lot, and I think he might kinda like me back. But, like, we haven't done anything yet, and I'm just wondering... when do people usually decide they're ready to take things to the next level?
