Re: Sex Matters (A Serious Discussion)
3 selves.Public self, for all.
Private self, for only those close to you.
Secret self, nobody's business but yours.
I do sometimes wonder at what people are prepared to talk openly about in a forum, are they naive or just open. cant say i would talk about sexual matters, i would see it as a betrayal in trust.

I was 'a listener' for many years. Our founder's first job as a curate was to stand in for a vicar at the burial of a 14 year old girl who had killed herself when her periods starting believing she had VD.
I think it is important that some sexual matters are talked about openly and honestly without people being made to feel they are talking about something 'dirty'

Re: Sex Matters (A Serious Discussion)
It seems to be trendy to be shocking on the media, it's weird how things like "The Vagina Monologues" are referred to on TV as if expecting a sharp intake of breath and looking at one's shoes!We all came about because of sex (unless artificial means were used) and yet it's not talked about by most of us.
My parents never spoke of it at all and would change channels if anything "rude" came on TV.
I must say I think it should be discussed as a normal part of life, but not in the "in your face" way that's become fashionable, which seems to be very shocking and uncomfortable to listen to.

Re: Sex Matters (A Serious Discussion)
I would never discuss mine and my husbands sex life with anyone ever, we have managed quite well for almost forty six years
Seriously though, it's all about dignity and respect.I have no problem discussing sex on a general level though.
When my girls were young and they asked questions I answered them honestly even if I thought they may not entirely understand the explanation. It did however make it much easier for them to ask and for me to answer the more difficult questions later in their lives.
I don't see the point in having discussions about sex just for the sake of it, unless of course it's relevant like the same sex marriage.
