29 Things Every 20-Something Should Know About Sex

When it comes to sex, our 20s can be a formative decade. It can be a time when we learn about ourselves, our desires, what we like, and what we don't. Some of us are having sex for the first time in our 20s or trying out casual sex — and many of us are having good sex for the first time. Each year, the learning curve can be huge.
