Sex is not everything.

It’s not a to-do list. There’s no box for you to check, no V card to punch. You don’t have to have sex, and if you do, it’s just one part of the rest of your world. What I hope for you is that—when you’re ready—sex and intimacy and closeness become a rich and wonderful part of your life.

So for now, don’t worry about it.

Find your passions. Work hard. Take care of yourself. Play to your strengths. Be creative. Act according to your values. Surround yourself with good people. Be compassionate.

And above all—

Choose for yourself.
