10 Sexperts On Instagram You're Going To Want To Bookmark
It's natural to look for guidance on something as widely experienced and simultaneously stigmatized as sex. If you've ever had a question about what sex can look or feel like, or how to have difficult-but-necessary conversations with your partner about your needs, wading through all the information (and misinformation) out there can be tough. So, why not incorporate a little sex ed into your daily social media scroll by following some sexperts on Instagram? From dating and relationships journalists and podcasters, to sex and relationship therapists, these experts can fill in the gaps left by K-12 health class — particularly if you don't feel comfortable talking to older siblings, friends, or parents. (You're not alone — trust.)
Perhaps you're still figuring out how to communicate with hookups, wondering if non-monogamy is for you, or looking for a sign to not hook up with your ex. Maybe you want the tea on STD testing and how to discuss it with your partner, or you're planning on sliding into your crush's DMs later and want some sex-positive motivation to gas you up. Whatever the case may be, these accounts can provide inspiration and education on almost anything you can think of when it comes to sex.
