Sex Culture
Michael Hardner:
--- Quote ---It’s easy to criticize ****, and it’s fun to giggle over the exotic and unfamiliar sex acts the adult industry is all too happy to explore. But positioning the **** industry as an all-powerful force that’s here to wreak havoc on our sex lives is a distraction from the actual problem at hand. If we want an alternative to the vision of sex presented in pornography, we need to start by having open, honest and unashamed talks about sex.

I'm a prude. I can barely talk about sex. I come from an era where such talk is taboo. Even on a web board with strangers, I can't.
Is something wrong with me, or is this just natural human shame ?
JMT:
I would say that for my generation there's next to no shame in talking about sex.
BC_cheque:
That quote is way off. As a society, I don't think we have issues talking about sex at all.
It's everywhere. Sometimes I'm surprised how openly G-rated sites get in depth with sexually-related articles.
Not that I mind or I'm complaining, I just think it's silly to say it's a taboo subject.
Michael Hardner:
Sure, it's discussed in media but do we talk to each other ?
BC_cheque:
For me it's not a prudishness issue that I don't talk about sex. First, 98% of the time I'm a mother or in a professional setting so it's inappropriate timing. And then with friends, I have no inhibitions, but what's there to say when you're in a long-term monogamous relationship and you lost your virginity decades ago. The novelty has worn off.
I mean my friends and I do discuss it in general terms but to sit there and talk about my husband's performance seems a bit high school, no?
