That doesn’t mean you’ll never feel awkward. But you’ll know beyond a doubt that your desires are valid and worthy. That you are valid and worthy. Then, when the awkward moments happen, you can more easily integrate them.

Whether it’s sex acts, food, or vacation destinations, you’ll run into situations where one of you likes it and the other doesn’t. At that point, you can decide: “is this a deal-breaker?” If so, maybe that isn’t the right relationship for you. If not, you may just need to try again.
