A few weekends ago, my friends
and I had a movie night in one of our guy friend’s room. This started out as a
completely normal and uneventful evening. We were all relaxing and watching Halloween
movies. I fell asleep in this guy’s bed and my friends all left.
I woke in the morning in
this kid’s bed with him next to me. It wasn’t like he was a stranger. He was a
friend of mine and overall a really cool person. Nothing happened that night,
unless you consider deep sleep something worthy to be talked about.
This is why I can’t
understand why everyone made a big deal about this. The definition of a sleepover doesn't include "must've had sex" or "judge because they must've had sex."
My friends were all freaking
out the next morning saying things like “I can’t believe you slept with him and
“I thought you were better than that." Yeah, I also thought I was better than that too.
I am ashamed that I was too lazy to crawl to room that night.
I didn’t deserve to be reprimanded
for where I slept.
You don’t deserve to be reprimanded
for where and who you sleep with.
There is nothing wrong
with sleepovers in someone else's dorm. A day doesn't go by where I don't wish college girls could sleep in guy's rooms without being judged. This is a subtle and seemingly unimportant example of gender inequality on college campuses.
Even if you do
have sex with this person, there is nothing wrong with that. I don’t know if
you all have noticed a common theme in my posts yet, but here it is: sex that is safe and
consensual is nothing to feel bad about.
Please embrace it.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing a personal story with your readers. This same experience has happened to me since I've been at school too and I agree that it is unfair to be judged for something that didnt even happen.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you are willing to share a personal story with everyone, and I agree that a "sleepover" should come with no other definition besides actually sleeping. Try incorporating some more visuals, because the content is great, but it could be broken up a little more!
