Why Is Sex A Four Letter Word?
Why Is Sex A Four Letter Word?
One reason why sex is still such a taboo subject that can hardly
ever be discussed with a straight face, is that there is so much
hypocrisy.
The "sex trade" is one of the biggest revenue producers, both
online and off. Yet hardly anyone will admit to being a part of
it.
Please, don't get me wrong, there are different aspects to the
sex discussion that I am talking about. The perverts and
pornographers who involve children in what is supposed to be an
adult and consensual act, deserve the comtempt and harsh
treatment they receive. Both from society and the penal system!
But my amazement is that healthy, "normal" adults become
stammering, head bowing, face averting indivuduals when the
topic of sex comes up. These "grown ups" know that sex is part
of being an adult and a natural part at that, yet if and when
there is a problem, they are hesitant and timid about seeking
help. In my experience, even some Doctors are less than helpful
when asked sex related questions. No wonder that stastics show
that teenage and other unwanted pregnancies are not going down
as fast as they should, even given all the information that is
supposed to be readily available. Information by itself does no
good, it must be explained and make sense, before it will serve
its desired purpose.
Telling someone to use a condom, for instance, without telling
them why, how it works and how to properly use it, will not help
them make an informed and self-protecting decision.
When someone who enjoys an active sex life starts to lose
interest, shouldn't it be treated the same as if they were no
longer interested in eating? I know that you can live without
enjoying sex, but why. Certainly not because you are too afraid
or ashamed to be seen as a "pervert"
So, please everyone, lets get real! Everyday there are less and
less things we can control and enjoy responsibly. Let sex be one
of them! Happy Year! Live! Laugh! Love! Yvonne
