To follow up on the widely popular Lingerie Thread, which has become a sort of discussion about sexual attitudes, we now have the Sex Thread. The idea of this thread is not to get graphic or pornographic, but rather to discuss attitudes, perceptions, hangups, societal and personal views, and so forth in relation to sex. It's an important function that goes far beyond the biological, yet we are so rarely open about it. So come one, come all (no pun intended) to discuss the personal, and cultural significance of sex!

Why can people be so remarkably open with their sexual exploits and preferences, yet when you ask the same people what their salary is they pretend not to hear you? :confused:

It can be, yes. I'm not limiting this thread to physical acts. I want to discuss everything surrounding sex too...female attitudes versus male attitudes...relationships, consequences, education about, portrayals of and so on.

For example...what do people think about current sex education in schools?

Here's a question:

How do people view themselves on the scale from extremely kinky to extremely prudish?

I have very open ideas about sex. I think that people should be able to do what they want with their consenting partners as long as no one is getting hurt (in a way that they don't want to get hurt). However, there are many things that I know people do, but can't imagine ever doing. So, while my boyfriend would say I have a little bit of the kink in me, I'd probably be closer over towards them more conservative "prudish" part of the scale. Luckily, my boyfriend doesn't want anything too kinky either. In fact, I think I'm more willing to initiate a little kink than he is (although he'll go along once its initiated =)

How about everyone else?

Far too abstinence-based. I'm taking it again next year by requirement (last year of HS), but last year when I took it for the first time since 7th grade I discovered that it wasn't nearly so interesting.

Alright, you're on to me, I know what sex is.

Honestly, sex has only helped my quasi-fiance and I in our relationship. People always talk about make-up sex, well we practice preventative sex. When we find something that bothers us about each other, we have sex and completely forget everything ;) ;) :fluffle: :D

Here's a question:

I don't consider myself prudish, but there are simply certain things that don't interest me. I might do them, if my partner enjoyed it, but not enjoying something does not a prude make:). My sexual attitudes have really changed over the years, and much of it has to do with self-confidence, and confidence in my relationship. My husband and I, after almost 10 years together, have recently opened up our relationship to outside, shared liaisons. I never could have imagined agreeing to (or wanting) something like that before. Now I know, no matter what we do, we will remain together, and this poses no threat to me, or him. It's not something I think a fairly young relationship should get into, but I believe ours to be stable enough. Considering prevailing attitudes about monogamy, I don't think people would consider me to be prudish, but neither do I see myself as very kinky. I'm just open, and comfortable. To me, that is more normal than being scared of, or not open about sex.

Well, if this thread is as wildly popular as the Lingerie thread was, I don't think I'll be able to keep up.

Here are my general attitudes about sex. It is only to be experienced within the confines of a hetersexual, monogamous, marital relationship. Consentual sexual acts between adults should not be regulated in anyway provided they don't result in serious physical harm or death of any of the invovled parties and are not public. Sexual acts should never involve adult/minors relationships and minor/minor relationships should be discouraged, though education regarding contraceptives is essential, though it should be by parental choice. Within the confines of a heterosexual marriage, pretty much anything consentual goes and more is better than less IMO provided it doesn't violate public indescency/exposure laws.

I'll probably think of some other caveats, but that is a pretty good start.

I always found sex ed to be too focused on the physical aspects (physiology, disease and so on) rather than on more important things like attitudes. Teens are all about sex. They think about it constantly, talk about it constantly, but know so little about the bigger picture. What a perfect time to get them talking about things, perhaps clearing up dangerous misconceptions, and allowing them to explore the social and personal ramifications of becoming sexually active. But teachers are notoriously uncomfortable teaching this course, parents are either happy they don't have to, or angry that their child is being 'exposed' in this manner. North America is a seething mess of multiple personalities and conflicting views about sex. Kids will be doing it, and it's nothing new that 13 years olds are engaging in it. They were doing that back in my grandmother's time...but no one talked about it, or made a huge deal about it. I find it amusing that people are so shocked now, as though it's a new thing, a sign of our morally corrupt times. Trust me. Kids have been doing it for centuries. It's nothing new. So teach them to be safe, and be honest about it!

Pre-emptive sex! Interesting! I agree. Sex is a big factor in a relationship...physical intimacy is important and helps break down emotional barriers that can cause problems. As well, you can not be truly open and honest with your partner if you are not open and honest about what pleases you physically. Sex is the physical manifestation of give and take.

I agree with much of what you said. However I differ on the issue of how recent an occurance this is. Yes, a few 13 yr. olds engaged in sex, depending on which culture they grew up in, but they were not in the majority. The number of 13-16 year olds who engage in sex is at all time highs in North America over the course of the last 30 years, though it has declined a little over the last 5.
Wow. And I was under the impression that in the past, more people were married around the age of 13 or even younger and had sex. You learn something new every day.

Well, I'm somewhat hesitant to discuss this topic because in many other threads about sex, it seems as if the opinions and thoughts of an "older man" aren't appreciated. I would just like to say to those who have problems with older people still liking sex: Get over it! I'm not yer damned father, I'm not yer damned grandfather. I'm just me and I always will be and I don't give a crap whether you're "comfortable" with the idea of my having sex or not!

Well, then sex away. Cause I know I'll say anything about it.

Someone was talking about "kinky." Kinky, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. Chances are, if you're willing to do it yourself, you don't consider it to be "kinky." I suppose I've seen and done too much to consider things like group, or mild Dom/sub to be kinky. IMHO, serious BDSM is kinky ... not to mention dangerous, but other than that, whatever anyone likes is kewl with me.

Yes, it is problematic...

As for regulating them, I don't think anyone should be forcefully stopped from engaging in those activities legally. I just believe they are immoral and shouldn't, on a voluntary basis, be engaged in. I recognize that not everyone agrees and since I don't want anyone being able to dictate to me how to live my life, I don't want anyone dictating what I believe to others except in cases where it can be shown that serious physical harm or any harm to a minor has taken place as those things violate rights and freedoms more important than the "freedom of sex" ;) (try to find that in the constitution :p ).

Well, that's why I was asking where people place themselves. =) Obviously, people define "kinky" and "prudish" very differently.

I would say that bestiality is beyond kinky and into dangerous and illegal (rightfully). I would place it with sex with children - which is not allowable under any circumstances.

However, I would definitely say that multiple partners would be kinky - whether it is within the confines of marriage or not.

Here are my views:

As far as sex ed goes, I think it should be like my sex ed class was. We talked about all the diseases, the risks of having sex too soon (females: the younger you begin to have sex before the age of 23, the more likely you are to have pregnancy complications later in life), and abstinance was encouraged. However, we also learned about varying modes of birth control, how to get out of bad relationships, ways to avoid rape and even put condoms on bananas. What I also liked about my sex ed was that the first half of the year boys and girls were divided and the second half all were together (most serious sex talk and contraception was discussed the second half of the year).

As far as kink goes, I would say that I'm mildly kinky. I like a little bit of pain (biting, scratching, spanking, etc) but nothing too bad. I enjoy a plethora of positions and places to have sex and at one time was in a polyamourous relationship (I am now very monogamos, but we still remain friends).

Well,
My beliefs entail anyone, GLBT or otherwise has the right to have any act of sexual intercourse, be it kinky or non kinky, as long as BOTH parties have consent. if not then i think we should burn off the offender's genitals with sulphuric acid.
About age of consent; I think it should be 16, as I believe the minimum age for voting should be; HOWEVER, I do believe that the age of voting and the age of consent should be equal in countries where it applies.

Personally,
I'm lonely. I masturbate often and I find myself pretty sad. Then again, i'm fairly young for one that thinks like I do.

I'm interested in hearing from people who are uncomfortable with sex. Unfortunately, many such people are also uncomfortable talking about their discomfort, but I'm hoping they'll open up enough to give us an insight into what about sex makes them uncomfortable. Among people I know, there is a sharp division between those that are open about sex, and those that are not. Since it's so hard to broach the subject with those that are not, I don't really know what issues they have with it. :(

She was most definately not an overzealous abstinance supporter because she often talked about how fun sex could be but that it comes with responsibilities. It was really a very both sides of teh coin kind of class. We talked about what different religious groups thought about premarital sex and all that jazz.

To me, the worst thing one can feel when it comes to sex is shame. (unless that's your thing:)). I think women are socialised more to feel shame in taking pleasure from sex (though I hope that trend is reversing), and I believe many religious teachings try to promote shame as a method of control. What a terrible, mixed up message to be sending! (IMO)

I think cultural differences in sexual attitudes are fascinating as well. My husband is latino, from Chile, and guys there are used to pursuing, but rarely 'getting' the girl. Few one-night stands and such, and promiscuity is frowned upon much more so than here (but hey, prostitution is rampant...funny that!) Yet he had no problem with meeting me during a one-night stand, and then sticking with me:). And he's been the one who has really changed from repressed and jealous to open and experimental (whew!).

She was most definately not an overzealous abstinance supporter because she often talked about how fun sex could be but that it comes with responsibilities. It was really a very both sides of teh coin kind of class. We talked about what different religious groups thought about premarital sex and all that jazz.

And the biological reason behind the statement was........?

Maybe sex before 23 was confused with early pregnancies causing later complications? Cripes, if I waited until 23, I'd be a masturbating addict...and my first child would have had to wait to be conceived :(

To me, the worst thing one can feel when it comes to sex is shame. (unless that's your thing:)). I think women are socialised more to feel shame in taking pleasure from sex (though I hope that trend is reversing), and I believe many religious teachings try to promote shame as a method of control. What a terrible, mixed up message to be sending! (IMO)

I think this is absolutely true - and I do think that women are more socialized to be ashamed of it (although gays and lesbians may be moreso than heterosexual women).

While I adamantly believe that sex - at least intercourse - should be saved for a loving, monogomous, long-term relationship, I don't think that one should be ashamed of enjoying it. It was, I believe, meant to be a pleasurable experience.

That's what I'm wondering. A pregnancy before the uterus has fully developed could certainly cause problems with later pregnancies. Most women are fully developed by 18 or so, but I suppose some might keep developing until 23.

I remember a woman in Dan Savage's column saying she was going to buy her daughter a dildo when her daughter was 11 (or 13?). Aside from the inherent embarrassment involved (regardless, I think of how open parents are, kids are still going to be a bit embarrassed), I think it's a fantastic idea! Let kids know it's okay to 'let off steam' that way, and maybe they won't get so worked up they have sex before they're ready?

I saw a program about some 'sex scientists' who had the theory that a woman's orgasm aided in conception, as during the O, the cervix dips down, absorbing any semen that may be present much easier. Clearly, that function (pleasure) is there for a solid reason in BOTH men and women!

Here's a question:

How do people view themselves on the scale from extremely kinky to extremely prudish?Oddly, I think that I fall in both extremes. In different ways, obviously. In terms of the extremely kinky, well, as long as my boyfriend is up for whatever it is, I am almost certainly up for it too. I enjoy experimentation and kinky behaviour :) In terms of prudishness, I would never 'sleep around' (I've only ever slept with two people, and I wish I hadn't bothered with the first) and I detest porn. Put simply - if it's with one person that I love, anything goes. Beyond that, very little goes :)

For example...what do people think about current sex education in schools?

I went to public school and never so much as heard the words penis, vagina, sex or dirty sanchez. But in all seriousness the state of sex education is deplorable. When things such as std and unwanted pregnancies become the social problem that they have it is I think the government has a responsibility it educate people, especially young people, on how to prevent it. I think it would be benifical to have things like condoms available to help the situation.

I actually think it is a wonderful idea as well. My mother didn't go as far as buying me a dildo, but she was always open with me. From the minute I could ask questions about sex, she answered them as completely and honestly as my age and her knowledge would allow. As I got older, she bought me books relating to it as well.

My grandmother and aunts were all convinced that I was going to become some sort of sex-crazed slut because I knew so much. In the end, it actually was a big part of the reason I waited (although I do wish that I hadn't bothered with my first). In my life, I have had two sexual partners - one for the past 4 years. It was never "taboo" to me, never something I wanted to do because it was forbidden. When I did start considering it, I didn't have to worry that I couldn't talk to my mom about it. In fact, she had my aunt (a nurse practitioner) put me on the pill well before I was even considering sex and gave me condoms the first time I mentioned I might become active. Even then, those condoms were expired before I ever actually had sex. LOL

In our school, we had a huge debate about putting condom dispensers in the boy's washroom. The girls wanted one in their washroom too, but neither group got them. Too many parents complained! Like a condom is going to make you go out and have sex.

Our sex ed class was comprised of horrific pictures of the extreme ravages of STDs. Now, I think the information we got on STDs was very important and useful, but it's not the be all and end all of sex! The only really useful thing I learned aside from that was how to pinch the tip of the condom when putting it on so that an air bubble doesn't form, making it less likely to break:)

Ditto. I went on the pill very early, way before it was necessary. I hate the damn pill...it gave me terrible migraines and whacked me out hormonally...but it was a life saver a couple of times when I wasn't quite careful enough! I prefer the migraines to becoming a mom at 16!

Truth be told, I never wanted to discuss sex with my folks (who does?) but they never pressed the issue either. Perhaps it would've become more comfortable. I slept around a lot because I lacked self-confidence, and thought I could gain it that way. Plus I just plain liked sex. Now, I'm still very active sexually, but in a much healthier, more confident way. I wouldn't go back to the old days for any price!

We didn't even get that :rolleyes: Our sex education was utterly shit. It explained the biological processes, and nothing at all more. Obviously, that's an important part of it, but what about things like STDs, how to protect oneself, and the physical and emotional practicalities of sex? We all knew a lot by that point anyway, but in my opinion it would have been good to have had professional teaching and advice on these issues.
Oh absolutely! Information on STDs is very important because there are so many misconceptions about contracting them and passing them on...misconceptions that can be very dangerous.

Unfortunately, even knowing as much as we did about STDs, many of us (myself included) did not always have safe sex. But we at least knew what we were risking (intellectually anyway). Regular STD testing is also important. I think it's a health issue more than anything. Regardless of whether you fool yourself into thinking kids are abstaining or not, they need to at some point be aware of this information about STDs, and school is vital in that education. Too many adults just continue on in their ignorance. Teach them young, they may forget a bit, but in general, they will remember the main issues.

Edit: Yikes, here we go again with the post slippage! You used to be post #77, but you keep dropping!!

And yes, I think that sex ed should be mandatory.

Well, their stance is, you should abstain until marriage, meaning both you and your partner would be free from sexually transmitted diseases anyway, and since sex is (in their view) for procreation, no condom would be needed.

Of course, reality screws with this stance, and makes it a dangerous proposition to have sex without a condom.

I think it runs something like - you should only have sex with your husband/wife; you should only have sex with your husband/wife in order to create a baby (physical and emotional pleasure and closeness is very secondary to this). I don't really know that much about it, being as I am a committed atheist, but that's my basic understanding. I think all but the most progressive Churches need to re-evaluate their thinking on this; even people following the basic religion they preach do not necessarily follow such rules, and then end up castigated for it. Those that do follow the rules could, potentially, end up in trouble (unless they can be completely certain that they are the only person their partner has ever been with). Ridiculous.

As a parent, of course I will be talking to my kids about stuff like this...and I will make sure I get the right information (from government sponsored health-care centres dealing with STDs...should those not be funded either?), but a lot of parents are not going to be teaching these things to their kids.

To follow up on the widely popular Lingerie Thread, which has become a sort of discussion about sexual attitudes, we now have the Sex Thread. The idea of this thread is not to get graphic or pornographic, but rather to discuss attitudes, perceptions, hangups, societal and personal views, and so forth in relation to sex. It's an important function that goes far beyond the biological, yet we are so rarely open about it. So come one, come all (no pun intended) to discuss the personal, and cultural significance of sex!

The US runs the gamut on each case, I think. The laws have been fairly open and permissive (although sometimes not informed) for a while, but they seem to be swinging back the other way.

Georgia, as compared to the other states, probably would be more closed, nonpermissive, and not informed on average. Of course, most of the crazy stories I've been hearing have been coming out of places like Wisconisn, so maybe GA isn't too bad after all. We do have Atlanta and Savannah, after all.

Canada's a real mixed bag...we have all sorts, and many immigrants with various viewpoints transplanted here. I think in general, Canadians are fairly tight lipped about sex (though our Francophones are reputed to be shockingly open compared to the rest of us!). Our sex symbols all go to the US, and I don't think we consider ourselves to be particularly passionate. However, oddly enough, I think we are fairly open and permissive when it comes to sex (especially BC, for some reason, BC just has the rap for being a really open province) and we don't seem to have as many fundamentalist communities who are scared of sex. As for being informed...well, that varies widely too, but I think on the whole, we don't go around thinking you can get pregnant from kissing, so that's all good:).

Anyway, Germany is also quite mixed, mainly due to the fact that there used to be a whole bunch of German states around. That and we got divided after WW2. The north is generally more atheistic or protestant, and the same generally goes for the cities. Meanwhile the south is quite catholic and often more prude and conservative than the north.
Hamburg is probably the city that is most open, famous throughout Germany for it's Red Mile, the Reeperbahn. It's also a former Hanseatic city, and is still Germany's largest port, and you know what they say about sailors...;)
We've had several erotic shows going on in the past, though they don't seem to be airing right now. "Peep" and "Wa(h)re Liebe" (You can guess what Peep means, but Wa(h)re Liebe is word play, with Ware Liebe meaning the Commodity Love and Wahre Liebe meaning True Love) were the most prominent and long living, while crappy shows like "Strip" died pretty quickly. In all, erotic movies tend to be aired on at least one of the private channels belonging to one of the two big groups Pro7-Sat1 or RTL every weekend, though not on weekdays. We have laws prohibiting when and how much can be shown on TV, but no one would go crazy over a slipped nipple. In fact, there's nothing illegal with showing something like that during one of the afternoon boulevard shows...

Are you emotionally able to deal with a "fling" ?

For every instance of cheating you hear about-someone getting caught red handed or guiltily confessing, I'm willing to bet there are a dozen you'll never hear about.

Some go one forever, some are a one night stand. Not all go down in a fiery wreck.

Some are trysts when it perfectly suits both parties-maybe once a month, maybe once a year-quiet and without a trace.

But what you risk with the unagreed upon 'fling' is the ruination of your relationship. If that is something you really want, shouldn't you either make sure your partner is willing, or desist? And yet, an open relationship to many people seems more terrible than a relationship between people being unfaithful (dishonest) with one another.

I've always thought the shame thing to be a leftover from the darkages. It seems to be an aspect of our religious-coultural inheritance. It's peobably one of the aspects of the monotheism I loathe the most, as I think it has a very negative impact on people's behaviour and selfesteem.
I can't actually make a case for rape and sexual deviance largely being a result of reigious sexual repression, but I have a strong suspicion that those things are very much related.

My level of kinky-prudishness...
Well, I guess I'm sort of a kinky prude. I enjoy sex, and I'm in no way ashamed about it. I love to make love to both men and women, and I've been known to do both at the same time. However, there are plenty of things I wouldn't dream of doing. Anal sex, golden showers and all that crap turns me off (though I never reject things before I've tried them.. Almost anyway). Monogamy is a huge deal to me, but I never expect 3rd parties not to try. I just reserve the right to hospitalise them if they do :D
Sex in strange places is great fun. Mountainsides or busy trainstations, it's all great fun (beeches are way overrated, though... Fucking sand!). No, I don't mind people getting a kick from watching, but I do make an effort not to make it obvious enough to get arrested... Not that I've always successful avoiding that :(

I haven't got much of a clue about sex ed, but in my opinion it should deal with both the emotional aspects, and the biology. The importance of condoms simply can't be stressed enough!!! - Yea, a close friend of mine has AIDS and another has HIV. It's so fucking easy to avoid killing yourself, and no matter what the bible says or what anyone thinks you deserve, there is no reason not to use a condom. If god isn't completely deranged, I'm sure he'll forgive you that much.

I don't get why some people think 12-13 year olds having sex is a new thing. It's not more than a couple of hundred years ago that we highly moral western cultures sold 8-10 year olds to dirty old men. I say sold, because marriage back then resembles slavetrade more than it resembles the marriages of today.
It's a demonstratable fact that the age where people become sexually active has risen by more than a couple of years inside the last 200 years in the western world.
I think it's a bit ironic when older people are condemned by youngsters for being sexually active. Ironic, because the opposite is true as well. Plenty of old frigid farts cry about the moral decline in the west, when there's plenty of historical evidence to the contrary. Still, perhaps those old whiney idiots is a good thing. I don't think it's a generally good idea for 13 year olds to fuck either, though I think plenty of them are actually ready for it. I've had 2 girlfriends who told me they were sexually active at that age, and they were both perfectly normal in all respects. Neither one of them have had any abortions either - not that I see any reason to think pregnancies are related to age, I'm just trying to anticipate the odd rant.

I think any wealthy society plagued by a social disease such as HIV should provide condoms for free. I imagine the condom use in the USA is comparable to the cost of one or two B-2's, and I think it's pretty obvious which of the two will prevent the most harm on US citizens.

I fiercely believe it's noone's business what people does for kicks, unless it causes harm to innocent bystanders. I don't see how it can ever be government's or Moral Majority's problem whether people like to shit in eathothers mouths, have sex with powertools or cannibalism. As long as it's consentual and doesn't involve an exchange of services, barter and the like, it can't possibly concern anyone but the consenting adults themselves.

Here's my 2 cents. I don't get why more people don't have open relationships. As in, you are in a long-term relationship with one person, but both of you are able to have 'flings' either together or separately. There seems to be so much cheating going on...wouldn't it be best to make it open, and not cheat? Or is it that deep down, people prefer the forbidden, and want that sort of thing to remain illicit?
Who needs a relationship anyway? Staying single keeps my options open :D

I agree with much of what you said. However I differ on the issue of how recent an occurance this is. Yes, a few 13 yr. olds engaged in sex, depending on which culture they grew up in, but they were not in the majority. The number of 13-16 year olds who engage in sex is at all time highs in North America over the course of the last 30 years, though it has declined a little over the last 5.

Uh...just how long do you imagine that statistics on that subject have been kept? I mean, that's a nice, convenient generalization and all, but it falls short of reality. The focus on sex and titllation and all things hot and slippery...( all parts, both great and small...hairy, shaved and lovely, the Lord God made them all )...as a widespread national obsession is fairly recent with regard to history. You just didn't have Jessica Simpson and her ilk in the 1930s (and thank God for that).

So how do you know anything about what 13-16-year-olds did before there were accurate surveys? Quick answer, you don't.

Here are my general attitudes about sex. It is only to be experienced within the confines of a hetersexual, monogamous, marital relationship. Consentual sexual acts between adults should not be regulated in anyway provided they don't result in serious physical harm or death of any of the invovled parties and are not public. Sexual acts should never involve adult/minors relationships and minor/minor relationships should be discouraged, though education regarding contraceptives is essential, though it should be by parental choice. Within the confines of a heterosexual marriage, pretty much anything consentual goes and more is better than less IMO provided it doesn't violate public indescency/exposure laws.

I'll probably think of some other caveats, but that is a pretty good start.

I just thought this was interesting. While I agree with parts of it (I think homosexuals should be considered consenting adults and allowed to wed), I found it hilarious to see someone say "There should be not regulation" then setup a truck-load of rules and regulations.

Sex is a beautiful thing for people to enjoy. Granted minors should wait if for no other reason than the risks of pregnancy and disease, then for the focus they should put into their studies. But then, our current education system puts more emphasis on socialization than education and "Feeling Good" is more important than learning to compete to survive.

Kids shouldn't have sex. Adults should as much as they want with who they want providing all adults are in agreement. My wife and I are satisfied with each other...other couples feel the need to swing a bit...still others are gay...whatever floats your boat.

So how do you know anything about what 13-16-year-olds did before there were accurate surveys? Quick answer, you don't.Before there were surveys? Well, we could ask the older generation. I read an article on how different women related to sex, with one from the current children-are-out-of-the-house generation and one from the just retired generation. This was a German group... anyway, the younger women in the interview were surprised that the two older women had lost their virginity at the age of 14, since the older generations were viewed as more prude than today. This isn't the middle ages, but consider that 14 was considered the ideal age for child-bearing back in the day (see Romeo and Juliet)

It's just that adult/minor sex is now frowned upon, whereas it used to be the norm (mostly male adult, female minor sex, by the way). Considering that kids are now more often getting jiggy with each other, rather than with people 20 years their senior should be a good thing. In fact, if you factor out that kind of abusive sexual relationship (sanctified by 'marriage' or not), I suspect that the numbers of kids engaging in sex is probably lower.

My Grandmother had her first child when she was 15. This was normal at the time. My father's mother's mother married at 12 to a man 25 years her senior. (in the picture we have, my great grandmother looks like my great grandfather's child)

Gods above and below I'm glad I wasn't born in those times. If you look at your family tree, you'll probably see a lot of men with multiple wives, as each wife ends up dying in childbirth. Yikes...married at 14, spitting babies out every 13 months until you die...

...a couple of 13 year olds playing around with oral sex is certainly preferable to that, no?I suppose it was a bit different in Germany... you didn't marry off your children. We had a rather influental period of literate arts that focused on emotionality (Sturm und Drang). It brought forth the biggest wave of suicide in young people due to a book ever ("Die Leiden des Jungen Werther" The Suffering of the Young Werther) ... that's how influential this was on German societies (back in the day, there were still a bunch of independent Germanies around). So I suppose this is what made the whole "marry out of love" idea possible... the only people I know of in Germany that still force marriages are Turkish immigrant families, though some German families may put pressure on their children not to marry someone for their own reasons.
But the stereotype that the older generations were more prude still prevails... probably because of the Nazis, they were incredibly prude and it has rubbed off.

<16I can only really quote German law on the issue... although I don't quite support it (I think it should be *legal* to have sex earlier than German law provides)
Children are younger than 14
14-17 are juveniles or youths (Jugendliche)
18-20 are maturing or coming-of-age (Heranwachsende)
21 or above makes you an adult

By German law, you may have sex once you turn 14. You may have sex with any person of any age, provided that the adult doesn't abuse the sexual inexperience of the minor. So it is technically possible for a 35 year old and a 15 year old to have a legal sexual relationship. That doesn't excuse abuse or similar situations, as it requires mutual consent.

--snip--


There may be an evolutionary aspect of that notion that stems from technological and medical advancement. 200 years ago, the lifespan of the average industrial-nation citizen was much lower than it is now (I've got no links and I'm too tired now to search, but I'd bet it was closer to 40 than the 70+ is is now). As a result, sexual maturity came at earlier ages.

As societies developed and learned more about medicine and germ theory and all kinds of related life-extending things -- in addition to a greater average prosperity meaning a longer adolescence/education before entering the workforce -- sexual maturity began to shift to older ages. Some are of the opinion that you're not really a full-on adult until you're about 23. I don't think that's a new norm, but I can see that trend.

Of course, some will still mature very young, and there could be an entirely different set of environmental factors affecting that (hormones in milk comes to mind). It seems to me though, that the longer the lifespan (and the more material prosperity there is to promote extended childhood and adolescence), the more the expectation is that kids will not engage in significant sexual activity until they're 17 or older. Hence the "shock" (and absence of historical perspective) that accompanies reports of kids knocking boots at 13 or younger.

Here endeth the pontification.

Wow. I'm not sure of specifics, nor will I look them up, but I'm fairly certain in Canada that you can not be many years older than a minor, or it is sexual abuse, consensual or not. I'm not sure about that...some days I agree, and other days I don't.

Me too I guess...but I know a lot of people say they don't like pain...neither do I, not intense pain, but I like being bitten. Hard. Harder than I could possibly stand were I not being stimulated pleasurably at the same time. Pain is of course blocked out at that point, but I find it focuses me on the pleasure. Biting is more intense than slapping or spanking, so I prefer it...that and twisting:). It's an immediate reaction, and the hubby uses it to 'get me in the mood'. I'm slowly getting him into the idea of choking me...but it needs to be during turtle neck season so I don't get weird looks:). Plus, it's hard to know how hard to squeeze...too little and it's pointless, too much and you black out. I think I like the sensation of being forced? Who knows.

I knew a guy like that. Who knows? Who cares? If you don't like it, you don't like it, and so what! I'm not the biggest fan of having someone go down on me, but that all depends on the situation. I like it in short spurts...too much is too much. I'm really one for penetration or manual stimulation.

As for having multiple partners, we've had limited exposure so far, but what we have had has been really, really great. Awkward, but great...and I expect it will become less awkward once we get used to it. The only thing I worry about is that eventually the 'kink' in things will not exist, and nothing will really be exciting anymore. Like, once it's not forbidden, it loses it's appeal? Hasn't happened yet, and maybe it never will, but it is a concern.

I've noticed the complaints about the lack of spice in this thread. While I'm no Danielle Steele or Clive Barker (both erotic writers on entirely different wavelengths), here's my take on the subject.

There's not enough focus on the emotional and interpersonal (and therefore societal) aspects of sex. It irritates me no end when I hear my cousin (a Navy coolant engineer) say that he's perfectly fine with screwing other women in ports of call across the globe, but if his home-base girlfriend ever did, she'd be "dirty" or somehow unfit for his commitment. I don't know, but I've always believed that it's to do with the anatomical nature of gender. Since men are the penetrators, once they've drained their "night drops" (Tom Robbins), they withdraw and are essentially physically unchanged from the experience (if a few milligrams lighter). Women are the receivers -- their anatomy is one of warmth, softness and a vestigal feeling of "home" (as it was for nine months). The notion that some other man can "break into" "their" home and leave a "mess" is somehow criminal to men, and as a result the "home" is unclean and repulsive.

In no way do I agree with that view, but I can see how a base, grunting, decidedly male logic could come up with it.

That being said, I sure as hell don't advocate (and in fact intensely dislike) women who feel that equality of any kind (though especially seuxal equality) means adopting the worst traits of the male rutting instinct. In short, my opinion is that everyone involved in a sexual relationship needs to be:

1. Able to understand and make decisions about what happens to their body (so that excludes those who are of unsound mind, including intoxication, and makes setting an age limit a tricky proposition -- though I'd say no younger than 16). Your basic volition.

2. Aware of the "reporter's questions" about the situation -- who, what, where, when, how, and why -- and kept apprised of changes. This applies to
physical acts as well. Your basic open and honest communication.

3. Cognizant of the need for and planned use of contraception (unless procreation is the idea or documented sterility is involved) and STD prevention. Your basic consideration.

4. Free of entanglements (emotional or otherwise) that could cause anyone involved harm of any kind. Your basic geometry.

I'm sure I've missed something, but after all of that is solid, game on! It sounds a bit clinical, but these four ideas don't need to be approached in a clipboard manner. It can be as simple as a mental checklist of things you need before you engage. As far as what goes on once everyone's on the same page, the sky's the limit (remember #2).

I will try just about anything once, though I found that multiple partners at once is a lot more desirable in theory than in practice. I was young, though, and I wasn't ready for what the bisexual guy in my erstwhile threesome wanted to do. So I just watched them. I'll cop to voyeurism -- I'm most turned on by sound (I'm a musician), so when I was a teenager, I never cared that the porn channels were scrambled -- the sound was clear!

Oddly enough, I'm not a fan of receiving blowjobs. I don't know whay (any theories?), but they've historically not done it for me. On the other hand, I am devoted practitioner of cunnilingus. I simply love it. It may have something to do with needing to have my glasses off and hearing her as she's transported to writhing orgasm (plays into a bit of the aforementioned voyeurism).

What's even better is going down on a woman who knows how her sex works and tells me how to please her! Yes, a little bit of innate skill is naturally a plus, but being told where is sexy, and being told how is even sexier.

So women, if you don't already know, learn what makes you writhe in delicate (or not-so-delicate!) euphoria. Any man worth your consent to oral sex will appreciate it at least, and adore you for it at best!


There -- now wasn't that last bit worth getting through the opening dissertation? :D

You may be more inclined to be submissive? It sounds like it. Having someone go down on you tends to put you in a dominant position while the one going down is in a more submissive position. Also, taking instructions.

There may be an evolutionary aspect of that notion that stems from technological and medical advancement. 200 years ago, the lifespan of the average industrial-nation citizen was much lower than it is now (I've got no links and I'm too tired now to search, but I'd bet it was closer to 40 than the 70+ is is now). As a result, sexual maturity came at earlier ages.

As societies developed and learned more about medicine and germ theory and all kinds of related life-extending things -- in addition to a greater average prosperity meaning a longer adolescence/education before entering the workforce -- sexual maturity began to shift to older ages. Some are of the opinion that you're not really a full-on adult until you're about 23. I don't think that's a new norm, but I can see that trend.

Of course, some will still mature very young, and there could be an entirely different set of environmental factors affecting that (hormones in milk comes to mind). It seems to me though, that the longer the lifespan (and the more material prosperity there is to promote extended childhood and adolescence), the more the expectation is that kids will not engage in significant sexual activity until they're 17 or older. Hence the "shock" (and absence of historical perspective) that accompanies reports of kids knocking boots at 13 or younger.

Here endeth the pontification.
Heh, don't confuse Evolution (the biology theory) with social evolution. There's no plausible way evolution can apply to humans on such a limited timescale.
Fact is that in most western cultures, people are usually somewhere between 15-18 when they become sexually active. Girls average younger than boys.

The concept of adulthood has changed a lot since biblical times, and it haven't been an entirely stable development either. I can't remember all the social history shite too well anymore, so I'm not gonna be very specific. Anyway, the privileges and responsibilities of adults have changed a lot. Wealth distribution have played a major part in this. For instance, a 25 year old upperclass male would hardly have been considered a responsible adult in England 200 years ago. At the same time, a 14 year old workingclass male would be considered an adult in all respects, execpt religious matters.
Going back 1000 years, the only people with privileges and responsibilities resembling what we term adults today, would have been village elders or the ruling class.

It's not plausible to claim human sexuality or maturity have changed at all within the last 5000 years. There's no historical evidence (that I've ever heard about anyway), to support any claims about that.
The effects of our increasingly polluted foodstuffs aren't apparent enough to make any final judgments yet. And as far as I'm aware, we've only known about possible effect since the mid 1970's.

I agree that our life expectancy have had a major impact on our moral values and the expectations we have for young people. Still, you can't in any way claim our increased lifespans have had any impact on when we mature.
Hardworking, dirt poor tribal people, living without healthcare, sanitation or modern foodsources mature at the same age as you do. Not earlier and not later. That's why it's not unusual in such cultures to marry off girls at 12, and have male initiation/adulthood rituals when the lads are about 14. The ages match when a typical human female & male (respectively) are sexually mature.

Since we know how big an impact sexual maturity has on our behaviour, I think it's futile to think children that age won't become sexually active. I do, however, agree that it's preferable for the majority if they don't. I had my own debut at 14, and honestly, I wish I'd waited. It wasn't much fun, and I spend at least a couple of months trying to figure out how it had impacted my life. Completely silly in hindsight. I should have waited a year or two. It isn't such a big deal for people at that age.

Returning to the adult thing, I don't think people really know what they're doing untill they've had some experience. Most the 20 year olds I know, I wouldn't consider adults. 25 year olds usually have the experience to act like adults.. That said, I know more than one 18 year old who're more adult than I am. Hell, I found out not too long ago that I've been hanging out with a 16 year old. I thought she was at least 20.

Good points, all. You're a very adept poster and a superior writer.

The "evolution" idea was just a postulation -- I know actual somatic evolution moves much slower than 200 year increments.

Myself, I was 21 when I "debuted", and I wasn't emotionally ready even then. However, she was patient and taught me a lot (for example male virgins don't tend to have the taboo/cache' that female virgins do because, well, I guess that's self-explanatory). I have matured an order of magnitude since then, and I am very glad of it. But even maturing in sexual ability and attitude can have its pitfalls. I spent a lot of money on airfare and an entire summer in Texas because I'd confused insanely good sex with love. Painful (and expensive) as that was to learn, it was a lesson I'm glad to have had because it sharpened my senses and instincts dramatically.

Ah -- a very good point. Sinuhue seems to have presented a topic that brings out your best! Ain't she wonderful?.

I've never actively considered myself either submissive or dominant. I like to think I can adjust to whatever's desired at the moment, which I guess, by definition, makes me somewhat submissive. But is that so even if I'm acting on instinct as opposed to instruction? And what if my instinct tells me to pick her up off the bed while I'm still inside her and transfer he back to the wall -- and she loves it? Is that dominance, or just going with my gut?


Good point- your last sentence describes dominance.

To be honest, I feel I fall into that same area-I really enjoy and l'm really good at cunnilingus. Having a long,striong and tireless tongue is certainly an advantage, but I do love her to writhe on the end of it. But then I love to flip her right over and drive it home.

Ditto. I went on the pill very early, way before it was necessary. I hate the damn pill...it gave me terrible migraines and whacked me out hormonally...but it was a life saver a couple of times when I wasn't quite careful enough! I prefer the migraines to becoming a mom at 16!

Truth be told, I never wanted to discuss sex with my folks (who does?) but they never pressed the issue either. Perhaps it would've become more comfortable. I slept around a lot because I lacked self-confidence, and thought I could gain it that way. Plus I just plain liked sex. Now, I'm still very active sexually, but in a much healthier, more confident way. I wouldn't go back to the old days for any price!

Migraines! Yes a plauge of mine since I was 3!!! There were several times that the doc tried to get me onto BC to help my cycle from being so irregular. It was only till recently that I found one that I could use. If you still have probems with migraines try Ortho Evra if you can get it where you are. It's a patch; the hormones go directly into your blood stream and the hormones are low dosage, monophasic. I have had no migraines at all from Ortho Evra, but every pill i've tried has given severe migraines that were continual as long as I was taking that pill.

As far as sex goes, I say have fun. Screw guilt, it was meant to be enjoyed. Find what really gets you going and have fun experimenting with what entices you. An it harm none, do what ye will.

Personally I'm pretty much anything goes (except i'm afraid that anal sex really doesn't do a thing for me) aside from that I've no qualms about anything.

My Husband and I are in a mostly monogamous relationship. we do not have any interest in letting a 3rd person into our relationship, but neither would have a problem if the other wanted to enjoy a one night stand with someone that really entices either or both of us. But it would just be a one time thing, no continuing relationships aside from us afterward. While my husband and I don't use condoms when we're enjoying each other, we both have agreed that any sexual contact outside our relationship would be done with condoms.

So far to this day though that situation hasn't happened yet. Both of us happen to be very picky about our partners.

Yikes! How are you doing it (or having it done) if it's about humiliation? You think gay men do it just to please their partner? That it doesn't actually feel pretty damn good? And as for women, well, most never try, because they think it will hurt, and some have tried, and it hurt because not enough care was taken...and then the rest of us have tried, been patient, and enjoy it. It has nothing to do with humiliation (for me).

Anal sex has been taboo for a long time, but that trend seems to be shifting. Now, I certainly don't like to tie wider sexual attitudes into pornography, but I can't help but notice that over the past ten years, this kind of sex in porn has become pretty mainstream. I don't think society (or porn stars) are getting more 'kinky'...I just think that less people consider this to be a 'wrong' way of having sex.

I've done it myself. I don't especially like it, as I find it somewhat uncomfortable (rather than extremely painful), but I don't hate it either. I personally don't consider it to be about humiliation, nor do I feel it is 'wrong' - each to their own and all that. Though my boyfriend kind of likes it particularly because of the traditional taboo attached to it :p However, I agree with Carnivorous Lickers that there is a line between submission and dominance. I'd say that this is more to do with attitudes (that may manifest themselves in one's behaviour) rather than the behaviour itself, though.

04-08-2005, 15:31
I agree that attitude is everything:)...but I don't see it as any more dominant than vaginal sex. A bit more 'kinky', only because of the taboo that surrounds it, I suppose. I know quite a few couples that have no problem talking about other aspects of their sex life, but get all mumbly and quiet when it comes to this particular act (even if they are doing it).

I agree that attitude is everything:)...but I don't see it as any more dominant than vaginal sex. A bit more 'kinky', only because of the taboo that surrounds it, I suppose. I know quite a few couples that have no problem talking about other aspects of their sex life, but get all mumbly and quiet when it comes to this particular act (even if they are doing it). Kind of strange...Yeah, I don't really get why it's such a taboo. Is it because of the...er...potentially fecal practicalities of it? :D Seriously, I don't know - I agree that it's no more or less dominant than vaginal sex.

It might have to do with the taboo that doggie style had and still has in some parts of the world, only pretty much being one step further, especially since it doesn't serve the purpose of "creating life".
I actually have a question, how do women receive pleasure from it?

Theres really no taboo as far as I am concerned, we just dont enjoy it. As far as I'm concerned, the rest of what we can and do partake in,is such a playground of pleasure, neither of us are missing it.

And I'm not remotely curious of being on the rec end of anal. I'm not missing anything.

I agree about the attitude one takes toward anal...it really isn't that taboo of an act...It just depends on what the couple wants from sex, and anal can cater to sadists, masochists, and those who are neither.

Same way as men do. There are bundles of nerves, much as exist within the vaginal walls. It's a pretty sensitive area (hence the need to be patient and work in slowly). It can be just as stimulating as vaginal sex. For men, there is the added bonus of having a G-spot near the prostate gland...which is why some men enjoy a finger there during other frolicking. It's a very intense feeling...sometimes even more so than 'regular' sex.

And as for positions...well 'doggy style' is not the only position you can enjoy this in. Not by far.

Are there positions that people here dislike or feel uncomfortable with?

Shows how uneducated I am about it ;) We've only ever done it lying on our sides, with him entering from behind. Though we have vaginal doggie style quite often (I am a fan of that, I must say :))
I actually have a question, how do women receive pleasure from it?I personally don't get a great deal of pleasure from it, but I believe there's some sort of spot somewhere up there that creates pleasureable feelings when stimulated.

Are there positions that people here dislike or feel uncomfortable with?Well, I wasn't able to do it standing up with my girlfriend. There was too much of a size difference for it to be comfortable. The same went for the traditional doggie style... she had to be lying down for me to enjoy it.
The only other problematic position we had was when she had both her legs propped up and I rested on them. It squeezed her shut too much for me to get much pleasure :( but when she only had one leg up, things worked out fine for both of us :D

I'm with you on that one...I don't care for being on top, though there are some interesting positions (both facing the same direction) that hit some different spots. My favourite is from behind, and all variations of that. We've tried the whole wheelbarrow and standing on your head stuff...doesn't do anything for me.

I agree that you can vary the women-on-top position so that it's more interesting. I quite like sitting (as opposed to lying) on top of him, with my back to him - we can both do our fair share of the work involved that way. Aside from that, my favourites are doggie, and good old missionary (and variants thereof).

My favourite is from behind, and all variations of that.Ooh! I love 'em too. It has to do with the dominance thing I think, but also a lot with her being pretty much passive and helpless to do anything. It's especially fun, as I've stated before, when her hands are tied to her back :D

They may be cuddlier, but sometimes you just can't lift them for the time needed (mainly because she uses her weight as an excuse not to).

One really successful one for us is her face down(face up too) on the bed, me standing on the floor,behind her,holding her legs. You cant miss the bullseye in this position and she can scream into the matress so the kids & neighbors dont hear.
69 with me standing is good, for a short while,till all the blood races to her head.
her on top with her back to me.

A girl I used to work with used to wear a skirt-and when she did, I knew we would do the following that day- drive to a nearby park-with me sitting in the passenger seat,she would sit on me, facing me. we wouldnt move for over a half hour, just flex from time to time. Then, with 15 minutes to get back to work, we would -and we exploded.
And then, we learned the trick where I would roll to my side with her so she didnt lose her payload all over me and the car.

I've only done that once (can you believe it?) with my hubby. It was very interesting, and intense. If a women gets strong enough, she can flex herself to O without having to touch a thing...great exercise by the way for women who've given birth! Doing this with him 'in attendance' is an added bonus, but I guess we've been too eager to do other stuff to try it again...I think I'll have to suggest it for an occasion where we actually have time!

That's not enough information to understand what you're trying to do. You could always wrap your legs around him and lock your ankles, but then you would't be "standing." High heels can sometimes overcome problems in this area, or even just standing on a small platform. Stairs are fun too! :D

I dated a really tall guy for a while (I'm 5', so really, most guys are quite a bit taller than me), and we just used a little foot stool to even out our height when doing the standing position. I liked being slammed against the wall noisily (not something I can do very often now with the kids sleeping and all...). If he's strong enough, he can lift you up and let you wrap your legs around him while he's standing and that should help too.

Any woman can learn to make herself cum by using "Kegel exercises" to develop that ability to pull and tug. Not only does it make it possible for a woman to have an orgasm without any other assistance, it makes her able to have them last longer, and as often as she likes. It's an awesome skill! :D

If she gets proficent enough at it, she can make her partner cum with no other effort on either of their part. It's very intense indeed.

The wrap around don't work with "cuddly" girls, sadly. They may not break as easily and are more comfortable, but lifting them get's difficult...

The urge to give in and thrust is almost unbearable. We would actually talk about all sorts of things during this. And laugh when other people walked by. She liked doing it in semi-public places.

Strong enough to lift you? With what? Mr.Johnson?

Ever notice how much stronger a guy seems while making the beast with two backs? its almost like the Incredible Hulk.

No-strong enough is when you are standing 69, and he can turn you upright and do uou up against the wall without you ever touching the floor.

Yeah, I tried semi-public sex a couple of times, but I'm too timid at heart too enjoy it. I don't get the thrill from doing illicit (and semi-illegal, or outright illegal) things that some people seem to. I just get tense and worried, which kills my mood. But when there is little chance of being caught, I don't mind.

Biggest age difference for a sexual partner was 20 years. I never dated anyone very much older than me (the hubby is only my senior by five years). I've only once been with someone younger than me, and that's when I was 18 and he was 17. Not a big difference in age, but a huge difference in maturity, although he sure had a lot of energy! :D
