I feel married sex is overhyped
- Posted on December 26, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
That feeling makes a lot of sense — married sex is often overhyped, especially in church settings, and the hype itself can be harmful. Here’s what’s usually going on beneath that overhyping: 1. Sex gets sold as the “fix” for everythingIn many churches, marriage (and sex within it) is presented as: That creates unrealistic expectations. Sex […]

Yes — talking about sex is protecting your kids. Full stop.
- Posted on December 24, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
Silence doesn’t equal innocence. Silence equals vulnerability. When adults avoid honest conversations about sex, consent, and boundaries, kids are left to learn from: That’s not protection. That’s exposure. Education does what silence cannot: Predators thrive where there is taboo.Kids are safest where there is clarity. This is why your point makes people uncomfortable — because it exposes […]

The less you don’t know about sex the more suggestible you are regarding rape, predators etc
- Posted on December 24, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
Yes — that statement is essentially true, and there’s solid psychological and social reasoning behind it. When people know less about sex, consent, boundaries, and their own bodies, they tend to be more suggestible and more vulnerable to manipulation. Here’s why: 1. Lack of language = lack of power If someone doesn’t have clear language for: they may sense something […]

In youth church sessions on sex, I remember a pastor mentioning licking nipples—and then moving on. There was no explanation of what the act was called, no discussion of consent, and no clarification that similar acts could involve other parts of the body, including genitals. The words were dropped into the room without context, like a warning without instructions.
- Posted on December 23, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
That kind of teaching didn’t protect us—it confused us. It introduced sexual imagery without giving us language, agency, or boundaries. No one told us that every sexual act requires clear, willing consent. No one told us that saying yes to one thing never means saying yes to another. And no one told us that we […]

Explicit Doesn’t Mean Irresponsible, Yes my book names sexual acts explicitly—but it also teaches about consent, boundaries, and proper terminology. Every sexual encounter in my story is framed with respect and willingness, showing readers that being in charge of your own body matters.
- Posted on December 23, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
Compare that to many rap songs teens hear: they often include derogatory, objectifying, or aggressive sexual content—and almost never talk about consent. That can send a harmful message about what’s “normal” or acceptable in sexual relationships. Being explicit doesn’t mean being reckless. Showing consent and respect is what makes sexual content responsible—and what gives readers healthy tools for understanding sexuality.

Why Sexual Trauma Can Make You Feel Physically Sick
- Posted on December 22, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
Many survivors of sexual assault or coercion notice that their bodies react physically after the experience—not just emotionally. Nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headaches, and fatigue are all common responses. These reactions are normal responses to trauma, not a sign that anything is “wrong” with you. Here’s why this happens: Healing is possible If you’ve ever felt physically sick after […]

A lot of people don’t know what consent is truly. That’s honestly true—and it causes a lot of harm.

Most people were never clearly taught what consent actually is, especially in churches, families, or schools. So they rely on assumptions, silence, power dynamics, or outdated ideas instead of real understanding. At its core, consent is: What many people were taught instead: None of that is consent. And this gap in understanding is exactly why so many people:

There is generally more stigma placed on women for speaking up about sexual abuse than on men, though the stigma shows up differently for each. Here’s a clear breakdown:
- Posted on December 17, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
Why women often face more stigma when speaking up 1. Victim-blaming is gendered Women are more likely to be asked: The underlying message is that women are expected to manage men’s behavior, and when abuse happens, society looks for ways to hold the woman responsible. 2. Sexual purity standards Women are still judged through a lens of: Speaking about sexual […]

Getting a new asthma diagnosis can be really overwhelming, and it’s understandable that it could affect your self-esteem.

After rape, many survivors develop zero tolerance for fakeness, manipulation, or surface-level relationships because your nervous system and intuition become highly protective. You’ve already been violated once, so anything that feels performative, controlling, dismissive, or inauthentic can register as danger, not just “annoying.”
- Posted on December 15, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
A few important things to know: This isn’t you becoming “bitter,” “hard,” or “unloving.”It’s your boundaries upgrading. And in spaces like church, this can feel extra jarring—because fakeness often hides behind “niceness,” “spiritual language,” or forced forgiveness. Your spirit rejecting that is not rebellion; it’s wisdom.

After sexual trauma, your nervous system shifts into survival awareness. It’s your body and spirit saying: “I will never let that happen again.” What high protective mode can look like This isn’t bitterness.This isn’t rebellion.This is self-protection and wisdom born from pain.

Telling women to “not be too ambitious” is toxic.
- Posted on December 13, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
It’s a form of control dressed up as advice. Here’s why it’s harmful: 1. It polices women in ways men aren’t policed.Ambition in men is praised as leadership, drive, or vision. In women, it’s often reframed as arrogance, selfishness, or “doing too much.” That double standard teaches women to shrink. 2. It conditions women to […]

I hear you. That makes a lot of sense.

One of the hardest parts about experiences like this is that people often have preconceived ideas about what a “rapist” looks like—or how a “smart” or “good” person behaves.

A lot of people feel exactly what you’re describing, and it’s not just you noticing it. In many Black families, churches, and communities, conversations about consent, sexual boundaries, and sexual violence have historically been avoided, minimized, or wrapped in shame. That doesn’t mean the topics aren’t real or urgent — it means the culture wasn’t given the tools to handle them.
- Posted on December 11, 2025
- by Shalonda Falconer
Here’s why it often feels that way: 1. Silence was taught as “respect.” Many Black households were raised on “don’t talk back,” “stay in a child’s place,” and “what happens in this house stays in this house.”Those messages create environments where boundary violations — including sexual ones — are hidden instead of confronted. 2. The church struggles with anything that […]

Many survivors do find that after the trauma, in their healing journey, they develop strengths, insights, or qualities they didn’t realize they had. These positives come from their resilience, not from the rape itself.

Here are some examples of what survivors sometimes report discovering: 1.

Here are some insensitive things people often say to individuals struggling with infertility, and they can sting even more in church settings where people expect compassion, not pressure or judgment. I’ll break them into categories so you can see the patterns:

🔹 Insensitive Things People Say in Church Settings About Infertility 1. “Just have more faith.” This implies infertility is a spiritual failure instead of a medical, emotional, or deeply personal struggle. 2. “Maybe God doesn’t think you’re ready yet.” This makes God sound punitive and blames the person for something beyond their control. 3. “God […]

Telling a woman that she shouldn’t dress “too sexy” is more dangerous than people realize. It’s not just about clothes—it sends deeper messages that affect safety, autonomy, mental health, and gender equality. Here are the core dangers:

1. It reinforces victim-blaming When society says a woman shouldn’t dress “too sexy,” it implies: This is extremely harmful. Sexual harassment and assault are caused by perpetrators—not clothing. Victim-blaming keeps women silent, ashamed, and less willing to report abuse. 2. It shifts responsibility away from the actual problem Instead of teaching men self-control, respect, and […]

1. It reinforces gender roles that limit women This message teaches women to: This leaves women feeling powerless, insecure, and hesitant to express interest or set boundaries. 2.

1. It teaches men to avoid accountability When men are told that women’s bodies, clothes, or presence “cause” their lust, it sends the message: This prevents emotional maturity and encourages men to believe their reactions are automatic and uncontrollable—when in reality, lust is about internal discipline, not external women. 2.

Talking to kids about suicide is important, and it can actually protect them rather than harm them. Many people worry that bringing it up will “put ideas in their head,” but research shows the opposite: having open, honest conversations reduces risk and helps kids feel safer.

Here’s why it matters: 1. Kids notice more than adults think Even young kids pick up on stress, sadness, and big emotions.
