Stop Over Sexualizing Me

Stop over sexualizing me. Yes, I may flaunt my body via social media and through my outfits, but that does not mean I am down to have sex with any and every man I come in contact with. I am literally just a carefree, Black, gay man who loves himself and the skin he's in. I present myself the way I do to display my self confidence.

Being so sexualized has created so many different insecurities for me; Starting with trust issues when it comes to dating. I have to put up this wall and act emotionless to find out if guys actually desire to know me for me and not just to explore body. But, then there are guys who are willing to explore my mind and personality, which oftentimes erupt a mutual attraction.

I don’t think it's fair that people associate my shirtless selfies and my self portraits in my underwear with how sexually active I am. People expect me to be some sort of sex expert just because I post these kinds of pictures, without even knowing I have only had sex once in my 19 years of living.

I just want everyone to stop slut shaming me for the way I dress and the pictures I take. Yes, I have hormones just like every other human being on this planet, but I’m not horny 24/7 and I do not want to talk about sex 24/7. I’m a beautiful person inside and out and I’m a very talented individual. I just want people to desire me for my personality and not the pictures I post. We should be able to love our bodies without being associated with being a hoe. Us in the LGBT community already have to deal with people outside of our community sexualizing us for simply liking the same sex, so why hyper-sexualize each other?

A nti was the most anticipated album for almost 3 years and it was definitely worth the wait; as it is Rihanna's most cohesive body of work yet. On this album Rihanna made timeless, quality songs that she likes; not the usual generic pop music she usually makes. This album has no trace of Stargate, Calvin Harris, or Sia, who she usually collaborates with on her records. On this record she incorporated multiple different genres into one album, while telling a story most women can relate to...A story of being in love; the highs the lows, and the words "I love you" and the regretted words "I hate you." Even the album packaging itself was extraordinary and creative, she featured 7 poems in braille; 2 poems were featured on the front cover and the back and 5 more painted poems
