As you can see, I speak many languages, including the language of sex.
Why don't we teach sex the way we teach math or history? It is such a deeply crucial and healing part of life and we offer no road map. I think it is core to ending violence.
I learned about sex the hard way... from books.
American teens have the worst of all worlds ... Our children are bombarded and confronted with sexual messages, sexual exploitation, and all manner of sexual criticism. But our society is by and large sexually illiterate.
I was never told a thing about sex. So I was very naive, as were my friends as well. But I - me so especially.
So many people in the Western World are just automatically made ill by any sort of frank writing about sexual matters.
Isn't it curious how completely ignorant we all are of the most important part of our bodily mechanism. It is really criminal. Yet there is no nation in the world that doesnt surround sex with fantastic walls. Of course ours are sillier than any-but not much.
It's the lack of this kind of open and honest education about sex that causes so many kids to grow up with sexual hang-ups.
