The Taboo of Wearing a Black Thong
By now, we’ve all gotten to the point
where talking about sex is natural.
My best friend bought a black, lacey thong from Urban Outfitters,
and at the same time, we’re talking about how much we have grown
since our freshman year boyfriends, both to whom we now say,
“we don’t fuck with you period.”
Having sex may be natural,
but something I usually covert with is self-love,
not making it for somebody else.
I, too, will buy a black, lacey thong from Urban Outfitters
out of the love I have for myself.
Self-love is not “distasteful,” but it is a product of growth.
