Let's talk about sex, readers say

I think if it were a more open subject many parents wouldn't have such a hard time talking to their kids about sex and perhaps we would see a decrease in pregnancy and STDs. I also think that sex is a barrier in many relationships and let's face it, many have fallen apart due to lack of proper info and lack of communication on the subject ... Women have come a long way but many still don't know they have a say in how things are done in their sex lives or just don't know how to approach it with their partner.

Between the mortgage, the utilities, the groceries, Iraq, North Korea et al, I just don't have time to wonder what others are up to! Although, I would like to see LESS of everyone! COVER IT UP PEOPLE, SOME OF US ARE JUST NOT THAT PRETTY!! (And yes, I'm including myself.)

Sex and sexual freedom and self-exploration are as natural as the sun coming up everyday. However, we are a most repressed society in sexual matters. It doesn't make sense. The more knowledge and openness we have about sexual matters, the less pressure and guilt will be felt about such natural activities.

Why not learn more about each other's bodies and keep your relationship happy in your own bedroom? If people are happy sexually, they will not stray. I believe if sex wasn't so taboo, and people weren't so uncomfortable talking about sex, we wouldn't have so many misinformed ideas about sex. It's sad to hear many women have never had orgasms or don't know where their clitoris is. How would you like to be the husband of one of those women? Everyone wants to know that their partner is satisfied sexually. Being open about sexuality doesn't mean being promiscuous, or even having sex at a younger age. It's about knowledge. Knowledge of yourself, knowledge of how to please your partner and knowledge of keeping your marriage strong and satisfying. As they say, knowledge is power! Now go home and take your power back in the bedroom!

I certainly do think society should be more open about sex. I attended a Passion Party several months ago and loved it. I bought a toy that my husband and I could enjoy together, but guess what — he hates it! I have always been more open and aggressive about sex than he has, and he just feels that this toy, or any toy, for that matter isn't right ... It seems that the older he gets, the more conservative he becomes. However, the older I get (nearing 40), the more adventurous I am becoming.
