Trigger warning: we will be chatting about sexual things! Not in detail, but this could be triggering for some people, so I wanted to be mindful of that and let you know!
This week , let's chat about sexual boundaries!
As a reminder, Some of this information is from https://www.therapistaid.com/worksheets/boundaries-psychoeducation-printout !
Sexual boundaries refer to the emotional, intellectual, and physical aspects of sexuality.
Healthy sexual boundaries involve a mutual understanding and respect of the limits and desires between sexual partners. Sexual boundaries can be violated with unwanted sexual touch or comments, or a pressure to participate in sexual acts.
Let's relate this back to porous, rigid and healthy boundaries!
What would a porous sexual boundary look like? What would a rigid sexual boundary look like? What would a healthy sexual boundary look like?
For example, a porous sexual boundary may be walking up to all co-workers and touching them sexually while walking by.
A rigid sexual boundary may be not allowing any type of sexual touching after 6 years of a relationship.
Remember, this is different for everyone and the relationship that we have with them! My healthy may be someone else's porous. My idea of "this would be a porous sexual boundary " maybe someone else's rigid. And that is totally ok!
Until next time, for now, let's jump into this week's Therapist Mama Bear tip!
Extra tip: once you think of your sexual boundaries with them, are they porous, rigid or healthy? If they are rigid or porous, what can you do to move them to the opposite side a bit to make them a little healthier?
