Sexual ignorance

[sarahmichigan]

The sexual ignorance of some people makes me want to weep. Truly.

Sextips usually makes me laugh or want to cry. People insecure about whether they're 'normal.' Women who think it's unusual that they can't come from P-I-V sex (honey, the clit is a woman's main sexual organ!). People who think their lovers aren't dedicated to them because their lovers look at porn or have sexual fantasies. Men who think that wives are for clean and proper sex, and only sluts suck cock.

At least most of the people on sextips are there to educate themselves. Unfortunately, the people who probably most need an education about human sexuality are often the ones most insecure about seeking that information. . .

You're not the only one who has noted the double-standard about men and women asking about the same sort of thing and getting different attitudes. Think it has to do with the demographic that the average sextips poster is an American female between 17 and 24?

Entirely possible. It's an age when people are still exploring how to accept themselves, as well as accepting other people into their lives. Sometimes we just experience things at different times. I've always considered myself a step ahead of the curve, but it was still that critical intimacy which made me just.. get it.
