The text and discussion seems to infer that being "familiar" with our bodies and other people's
bodies is the ideal and should be a goal of any educated person. While I understand there is a
mature approach to the human body and its functions, and situations where understanding of it is
quite necessary, I feel that we are all to familiar, in general, with other people's bodies. I want to
be clear, I am all for a healthy sex life between two committed people. I have even had very
meaningful experiences with special people in my life while not in a committed relationship per
se.
I just do not feel that complete familiarity with my vagina and all its inner working parts
is necessary for my committed sexual partner. I feel especially so about a sexual partner I am not
committed to!
It should not be a gynecological expedition. I have a gynecologist and he and I take care
of the maintenance on all my "lady parts". A romantic relationship should be intimate and hold
mystery. I have never found a complete physical exam to be required for my love life to be as hot
as it can be. Actually the more someone wants to look and explore and discuss the physiology of
me, the less hot it gets for me.
I also feel that people in general are too familiar with one another sbout sexual matters.
Discussing openly if the "got some" last night, or inquiring how someone is in the "sack"! I find
it to be a vulgar approach to a very private and wonderful thing. If I ever heard a sexual partned
discussing me, or sex in general in regards to me, I would feel they did not have enough respect
for what we share in private, and would have serious reservations about ever doing it again.
I realize some people think I am a prude, inhibited, or immature. They would be
misinformed. While I am quite shy about such matters, I enjoy sex as much if not more than your
average female. I was raised to believe that sex is special, not to be handed around to any handy
penis. It is not a sport or something to be taken lightly. I believe that there is a lot of emotion
involved in the act, whether you admit it or not, and if one person is just killing the afternoon;
then somebody will be hurt. I also feel that nice people keep such matters private, and people
discussing "pussy" is just vulgar and low class.
Finally, I would also like to say; I do not judge people for their views on sex If they are
not my sexual partner it is not my business. To each his own. I do worry about the familiarity and
relaxed social moors affecting our approach to the whole situation. My daughter thinks sex is just
something people do with other people sometimes. She does not feel you have to feel even a
little emotion for the person. It is a ";body function", and that is o.k. I worry that her clinical
view of it says a bad thing about her connection with people, or lack of one.
I also worry about the rise in S.T.D. transmission, Hep C and H.I.V. Her generation
wasnt around to watch the plague take so many wonderful people, and she thinks she is
invincible. Sex leads to pregnancy and disease and people's elevated emotions. It is a serious
private matter. Under respectful circumstances it can be one of the best things in life.
