One of those communities that had a massive impact on people has been the sex community on TikTok or so-called SexTox.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is SexTok?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that&#8217;s the first time you hear this term, you&#8217;re not alone! The sex community on TikTok, aka SexTok, is a community of people on the app who share their sexual experiences, educate others on sex, give juicy sex tips to try with your partner, and talk openly about their kinks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@redridingbrat?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Foembed.vice.com%2F&amp;referer_video_id=6907337041403579650&amp;refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Louise Red<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ms_nacke?lang=en&amp;is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiffany Nacke<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> identify as sex educators who want to bring awareness to all the taboo topics and help people understand kinks better.

However, as the popularity of TikTok grew, so did the age of the app&#8217;s audience. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnicoreagency.com\/tiktok-statistics\/#:~:text=TikTok%20Demographics,aged%20between%2010%20and%2019.&amp;text=41%20percent%20of%20TikTok%20users,per%20day%20on%20the%20app.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent data shows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that only 25% of TikTok&#8217;s audience is teenagers. So, while most of the app&#8217;s audience is young compared to other social media apps like FaceBook or Twitter, TikTok is not an app reserved solely for kids and lip-syncing videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Perfect Place for Sex-Ed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With sex education being poor quality or completely unavailable in most schools in America and other countries globally, OB-GYNs have moved to TikTok to educate young people about their bodies and sexual wellness. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dr.staci.t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Staci Tanaouye<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is sharing unfiltered advice about sexual health, breaking the myths of vaginas needing to smell like flowers and looking like the ones we see in porn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Tanaouye built her platform on educating people about their bodies, and you can find a lot of information on topics like periods, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/contraception-day\/\">contraception<\/a>, and abortions on her profile. Her TikTok account is a place where people of all ages can go and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dr.staci.t\/video\/7032357495800663342?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">find answers to questions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you might not be comfortable asking your doctor for fear of judgment.

When you read the comments under the video explaining that OB-GYN\u2019s don\u2019t care whether you shave or wax before pap smear, you can quickly see that it does help women feel more comfortable, with one user commenting: &#8220;This made me feel so much better!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breaking Stigma Around Talking About Sex<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doctors and OB-GYN&#8217;s are not the only part of the SexTok community. Hashtag #sexeducation has over 677 million views on TikTok. And if you look at the top five videos, you&#8217;re going to see that they&#8217;re not from the popular Netflix show everyone is crazy about at the moment, but of people sharing their sex tips. One of the most popular videos under the hashtag are from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nurse.ria11?lang=en&amp;is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nurse Ria<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an Only Fans creator, who shares videos about sex facts and tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nurse.ria11\/video\/7049056688988507398?lang=en&amp;is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sex tip videos about pressing down on a woman&#8217;s lower stomach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during penetration to increase pleasure gathered millions of views and got the whole app talking about if the sex tip actually works. It even <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attracted media attention<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a new pleasure technique that nobody talked about before. This just goes to show how impactful the sex community on TikTok is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many queer sex educators on the platform also create videos sharing their experience and expertise on dating, periods, STI\u2019s, and sex tips. For example, one of the educators, Katie Haan, recently talked about her favorite sex-related item, Lorals underwear, designed to enjoy oral sex during periods. In <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itskatiehaan\/video\/7055415853487263022?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1&amp;refer=embed&amp;referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fxtramagazine.com%2Fhealth%2Fsexual-health%2Ftiktok-sex-education-203335&amp;referer_video_id=6935148630450031877\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">her video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Katie mentions that they can be great for people who want to receive oral sex but are self-conscious about it. &#8220;Now we know we don&#8217;t have to be self-conscious about the way we smell and taste, but if you&#8217;re on a journey to get it out of your head thinking that way, Lorals can be a great stepping stone,&#8221; Katie tells her audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another queer sex educator <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@femmepretender?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fxtramagazine.com%2Fhealth%2Fsexual-health%2Ftiktok-sex-education-203335&amp;referer_video_id=6970386447694122245&amp;refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Femme Pretender<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a series where she talks about the different <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@femmepretender\/video\/6976354843921222917?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1&amp;refer=embed&amp;referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fxtramagazine.com%2Fhealth%2Fsexual-health%2Ftiktok-sex-education-203335&amp;referer_video_id=6970386447694122245\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of harnesses and how to choose<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> one that works for you the best. People interested in trying out new things or only discovering their sexuality have a place to go and learn because creators like Katie Haan and Femme Pretender have created a safe space on the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A New Space to Share Kinks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together with sex-ed and sex tips on TikTok comes the kink community. You don&#8217;t have to go to Reddit and scour the depths of the forums and different subreddits to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/weirdest-kinks\/\">find people who have the same kinks you do<\/a>. Instead, TikTok brings you like-minded people straight to your For You page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s super easy to find people who enjoy things like BDMS, degradation, praise kinks, consensual non-consent, and so much more on the app. Some accounts use <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comedy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, some are dedicated to creating the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BDSM fantasy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and some creators have built their profiles discussing kinky things they enjoy. Like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ms_nacke?lang=en&amp;is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiffany Nacke<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a 29-year-old dom creating content for people interested in BDSM.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On her page, she discusses various things that come with being involved in BDSM play and being a dom, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ms_nacke\/video\/7023378641417555206?lang=en&amp;is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like getting verbal consent during a scene<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With her informative videos, she has amassed a large audience of almost 50 thousand followers, showing that there is a demand for kink communities. However, with all the wonderful things the sex community on TikTok has to offer also comes not-so-wonderful things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Kink-Shaming to Vanilla-Shaming<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the rise of kink-sharing and people on TikTok being more open about their kinky sex behaviors also comes the negative side. Unfortunately, many people still kink-shame other people and call them out on their &#8220;weird&#8221; sexual preferences. Because everyone has a voice on social media, everyone thinks they should use it. Now, kink-shaming has been around for a long time, and most of it is due to the old-school prejudice beliefs of people who enjoy whips and chains during sex and the lack of sexual education on why we have the kinks that we have and how our sexual fantasies work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the more recent phenomenon that&#8217;s been happening, especially on TikTok, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/stop-hating-on-vanilla-sex\/\">vanilla-shaming<\/a>. Yes, you&#8217;ve read it right \u2013 people are shaming others for not wanting to participate in kinky activities in the bedroom and choosing to have the &#8220;boring&#8221; type of intimacy. The vanilla-shaming is also most prominent against women. Young women are shamed for wanting to make love without being chocked or degraded and being labeled as boring because of it. They&#8217;re called &#8220;prudes&#8221; and &#8220;frigid&#8221; just because they refuse to consent to rough sex, and most often, people criticize them for not knowing how to have fun.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women are already scrutinized enough in the media and IRL when it comes to sex. And <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vanilla-shaming women<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who are not into rough sex is nothing new. There has always been much shame and judgment whether a woman chooses to have sex or not, how they choose to have it and how they talk or don&#8217;t talk about it. However, the sex community on TikTok is taking the dangers of vanilla-shaming women to the next level because it&#8217;s targeted towards the youngest generation Z. TikTok provides a new place for the younger generation to romanticize and glamorize violence against women during sex. In <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/tiktok-365-days-challenge-trend-videos-posts-removed-netflix-movie-1529481\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2020 TikTok was forced to remove videos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from the &#8220;365 Days&#8221; trend due to people posting themselves bruised after rough sex with their partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlSTACHIOS\/status\/1288162779900317699?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one video, a girl shares<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> her heavily bruised body after watching the movie &#8220;365 Days&#8221; with her boyfriend, leading to them having rough sex. That video has millions of views and invites the younger generation to romanticize sexual violence as something that should be &#8220;couple goals.&#8221; This is problematic because <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-50546184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">data shows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that even 38% of women in the UK report that they have been spat on, choked, slapped, and gagged during sex without consent. Because it is trendy and &#8220;cool&#8221; to be into rough sex, women have to deal with their sexual partners expecting them to be okay with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/why-we-crave-rough-sex\/\">rough sex activities<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the new wave of vanilla-shaming, women are talking about their dangerous sex experiences and are standing up to stop the romanticization of sexual violence and vanilla-shaming on social media platforms like TikTok. Young women are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@oatmilk623\/video\/6912097838646283525?lang=en&amp;is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">encouraging conversations over on TikTok<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that call out the toxic sexual behavior towards women.
