Owning My Sexuality: The Sexpot Within

For years, I struggled with the word "sexpot." It felt like something people whispered behind someone’s back, a label meant to diminish rather than empower. I wasn’t sure if it was meant to be a compliment or a warning. But the older I got, the more I realized that being a sexpot isn’t about how others perceive me—it’s about how I choose to own my sexuality and confidence.

I grew up in a world that taught me to be cautious with my body, to dim my light, and to avoid being "too much." Too sexy. Too bold. Too comfortable in my own skin. But the truth is, sexuality isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s not just about attraction or desire—it’s about power, self-awareness, and authenticity.

When I started embracing my sexuality on my own terms, everything changed. I learned that confidence is magnetic, that feeling sexy is personal, and that no one gets to define what that looks like for me. Some days, it’s red lipstick and lingerie; other days, it’s oversized sweaters and bare skin under the moonlight. Being a sexpot isn’t about performing for others—it’s about feeling at home in my body, in my pleasure, and in my presence.

There’s freedom in that realization. Society tries to put sexuality into neat little boxes: too much or too little, respectable or scandalous. But the truth is, we get to define what our sexuality means to us. We get to choose how we express it, who we share it with, and when we let it roar or whisper.

So, am I a sexpot? Maybe. But not because someone else decided it for me. Because I claimed it for myself.
