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. . .

Unfortunately not a lot of people openly discuss sex, even with friends. I got a great mechanical explanation of how a baby is made early on by my mother, took care of an egg in sex ed, and learned about AIDS and date rape, but never knew anything really useful until I got on the internet. If people around you don't make themselves available for this sort of discussion - and they don't, damn that purtanism - then it's hard to broach the subject for those of us who want to discuss it.

I followed you from sextips, btw - I always enjoy your enlightning comments. And I agree - the posts have been rather repetitive as of late.

Yes, I agree that it's hard to get good sex information if your parents and schools don't do it for you. Even if you get the "how babies are made" talk, that doesn't do anything to make you a good lover.

I think my post came off as me making fun of people on sextips, but it's more that it just frustrates me that in this day and age we're still so ignorant and afraid.
