In a previous post I said that I think we talk about talking about sex all the time -- and hardly ever ACTUALLY talk about sex. And when I do talk about it, it’s easier for me to be anonymous because it removes a whole layer of judgment most people bring to the subject – sometimes appropriately. Sex is a really personal subject and I don’t necessarily want my neighbors shoving their sex lives on me while we water our roses over morning coffee.
On the other hand, NOT talking about sex tends to lead to not thinking about it, not exploring it and not owning it. This is the whole premise of Lissa’s book (What's Up Down There?) and I’m a total believer that to be whole beings, we have to bring our sex outta the closet and into the open – even if anonymously.
