    Here we go again

    More sexual hype! Now everyone will jump to read this cause SEX is mentioned. Why so much interest?

    I would gather to say that the vast majority of men and women haven't a clue as to what is really going on in the sexual experience even with themselves! Why else read these articles with such rabid drooling interest?

    At least this article spoke truth namely that no one knows nothing.

    The way sex is experienced is a continuum for men and women and no one way is correct including sensitivity of the body.

    But the mass media hype machine makes sex into something so much more important then it truly is.

    It is natural, it can be enjoyable even blissful and it can be disgusting and numbing. Some people get into it deeply and others feel detached. Some people like to "hook-up" and feel cool about using sickening hip hop terms like bootie call.

    Some men and women only want sex in the context of love.

    A wide continuum exists of sexual desire, experience and body reactions exist.

    The only wrong view is hurting others.
