Well, I'm not sure if this thread will survive, but someone has to come out and just be honest. From what I've been reading in this forum, most of us seem to have sex on the brain, and a lot of us still seem to be embarrassed to talk about it openly.
I am not wanting to start a thread of pornography or graphic discussion of sexual acts, but I would like to create a healthy, safe environment in which we can openly discuss the sexual aspects of life.
Some topics I've heard lately are thoughts about being the other gender, loving people of the same sex as yourself, social/gender stereotypes that have definite sexual undertones, sexual suppression and oppression in various cultures and being with one partner vs. an open sexual environment.
I've seen at least 2 threads derailed by these topics, so it seems that these particular issues are becoming a focus for many in this time of new energies. Anyone want to jump in and join me in realizing that sex is natural, healthy, and not something we should be ashamed of discussing (in mature, respectful terms, of course)?
Hmmm...I didn't see Monica's wonderful work with the Treehugger Treehouse. I suppose if nothing serious is allowed on that thread, this could be where anyone who wants to could discuss the topic of sexual energies in a more serious manner. I won't get upset if it just gets deleted, either. Seems I'm a bit behind on things.
