Are you comfortable talking about sex?

We do what we must because we can...

I notice your glitching, are you ok?

Or maybe they just want the pleasure...

Do you speak from experience?

Thats very interesting and I think its cool that you pride yourself on something that seems for the most part against the norm, I guess to say.

Also I looked up the definition of "liberated"; I know what it means but I just wanted to get the exact meaning of it. The first one I see is: "Showing freedom from social conventions or traditional ideas." I like that definition. And I am proud to feel that way about several other things that the majority of society or a collection of group generally buys into or views as norm. Such things that come to mind are: cellphone use, facebook, being a go-getter, placing emphasis on achievement and/or popularity, always having to be in a relationship of some kind, religious views (of all sorts, including atheism),

I find people today are dependent upon the 'norm'. They are afraid to break away and be uniquely themselves.

At some point you may find yourself in an intimate relationship. Once you are having sex with someone, you need to be able to talk about it. You don't necessarily have to be "comfortable" (however you define that word), but if you can't talk about it, you'll be unhappy in the bedroom. If you're unhappy in the bedroom, you're unhappy everywhere.

As for talking about it to other people, I avoid the topic, just like I avoid religion and politics. No good can come of it. Other people who want to talk about it are covering up something, and you'll never know what that is.

In response to the title, as I have to go back through and read the rest of the thread; I would say in general terms of speaking about sex and sexuality I don't find myself having a problem. But when it comes down to details, especially about my own sex life (and lack thereof..) I crumble under the pressure and often don't know how or what to think about in order to be meaningful to the discussion, without feeling embarrassed or disrespectful (either to a former sex partner -- or to the person I am talking with if I have a glowing recollection of a former partner that I haven't been able to find a suitable partner since -- as well as other avenues) especially if the conversation is in person. Even with my therapist I feel overtly embarrassed discussing such details.
