Throughout my entire life, I’ve heard a whole bunch of things that “good girls” aren’t supposed to do. In fact, I still hear these sorts of comments today.

Any of these sound familiar to you?

• Good girls don’t put their needs first.
• Good girls don’t neglect to wear lingerie under their clothes.
• Good girls don’t watch porn.
• Good girls don’t wiggle their ass as they walk down the street.
• Good girls don’t make out in the back seat of a car.
• Good girls don’t have sex on a first date.

While these rules were meant to aid us in avoiding “bad boys” and life’s most difficult challenges, they can also constrain and hamper our intimacy experiences as we grow older.

Here’s your chance to give it up. Tell me—in 50 words or less—what “good girl” rule you’ve recently broken and how it’s been a positive and/or liberating experience for you. As long as your submission is positive and upbeat and doesn’t offend anyone, it’ll post here within 24 hours after you send it. If you don’t want people to know who you are, please use a user name that’s comfortable for you.
