Collegiettes! Welcome to another year here on Her Campus. My name is Molly, and I will be taking on the role as the Her Campus St. Olaf Sex blogger this year. I would like to start this year off by introducing myself and my general reasons for writing the Mmm Ya Ya blog.
I am from a suburb of Chicago called Tinley Park, and I am a Junior psychology major here at St. Olaf College. Last year I wrote the Beauty Beat for Her Campus, but also wrote the Sex on the Hill column for the Manitou Messenger. My experience with the column and interest in making sex a fun, exciting, and approachable topic has led me over here to Mmm Ya Ya.
Sex is a topic that has long been a taboo topic of discussion, especially for women, and even today there continues to be a stigma and a discomfort that comes with it. However, I think that it is important to recognize that sex is a part of life that, if practiced in a safe manner, is healthy and can have many rewards of its own. It can facilitate self confident, personal growth, and the growth of relationship. I also believe that you should be able to laugh about it! Sex is nothing to be ashamed of! Embrace your sexuality, love it, and accept that sometimes experiences merits a good laugh with friends later on.
This year I hope to offer you advice from my friends, my personal experiences, and maybe a few one-liners from my mother, who has always (and sometimes unfortunately) been an open book on the subject. I am looking forward to presenting you with various viewpoints, Q&A, and maybe a few funny stories. This blog will be here to entertain, but also to inform, and I hope to open up a fun, informational, and interesting dialogue this year!
