Who would have thought that a little black book that some men take pride in is actually a useful idea? Keeping a journal of your sexual experiences is recommendable, not only to satisfy the curiosity or for bragging. When, where, with whom and how can be very important information.

Writing down your sexual experiences out of medical reasons

Keeping a record of your sexual experiences is important for your health. In the event of one-night stands with strangers, it is hard to get any real information about the person, but it still makes sense to write down the date, the name, the sex of the person, if you used protection, what positions you used. This data can be enough to roughly estimate in what risk group you belong.

Writing down your sexual experiences for keeping up with your progress

It is no coincidence that a lot of people keep personal diaries when growing up. Having diaries means recording events which we do not wish to forget and which affect us. A lot of people who kept diaries in their youth, keep them and read them later in life as well.

Writing about your sexual experiences can tell you a lot about yourself. It can be very therapeutic. Just by writing something down, you can answer something that is weighing heavily on your mind. It is also a good idea to write down your sexual experiences because we tend to forget things. We especially like to forget unpleasant things. Once the matter is written down, we can forget about it because we can always recall it by examining the journals.

The dual power of writing

The notes have the desired effect if we do it constantly, are relentless and honest to ourselves. Only this way can we get some answers. The journals can also have a long-term effect. Their purpose is not only the writing, but reading them as well. A compact description of our sexual experiences gives us an overview of the events, of what is good and what should be improved.

These journals help us see patterns that we keep seeing in our lives and we are not even aware of them. Only once we recognize these patterns, do we become aware of them and we can start resolving these situations successfully.

What matters is it wise to think about more carefully?

When you first start writing about your sexual experiences, there are a few things that might be worth considering:

Who has taught you about sexuality? What was your family’s influence? What are the boundaries in your sexuality? Which events led to important sexual discoveries? When were you most satisfied and why? Explore your fantasies – what do you do most often, what is the key ingredient that grabs your attention. Have you ever encountered a conflict between desires and values? How did you feel then, what did you do? Have you ever been sexually abused? Do you associate sexuality with any traumatic event?

 

Writing down your sexual experiences is primarily good for you, perhaps also your doctor or therapist. You can also share this with your partner. Even though it may be hard to admit it, we all have a sexual history and no one is stainless. Sometimes, this may help understand your partner better and your relationship can be improved.
