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
