But even though they change, the mind of Man does not lose its aversion to them.
There will always be people more open-minded than others, but is it possible that we will always look upon some subjects in a more uncomfortable way than others?
In the old days, for a woman to bare her legs was scandalous but to bare her breasts in low cleavages was harmless. Years later, to show off some leg was just fine but to bare her breasts wasn't.
Homosexuality was present since ancient Greece but not spoken about openly, now we have Gay Pride parades.
And sex... well, it was in the dark, at night, wearing clothes so that man and woman wouldn't see the naked body and now... less is so much more.
But has the prejudice and taboo disappeared? Hardly.
In an era where information is power there are still those who lack knowledge in many themes, especially if related to sexuality. Nowadays, information can help to prevent diseases and unwanted pregnancies but still you have teens getting pregnant and having sex without protection.
These are the health related issues, but what about information to enjoy and enhance the sexual practices?
The other day, a group of friends and I were having a conversation about how sometimes it takes longer for the male partner to reach his climax and I suggested something that besides intensifying the sensations for both man and woman, can help the man to "pick up speed".
First reaction was astonishment...
Next laughter...
My next question was: Have you ever tried it? - Another pause and burst of giggles.
When I explained how it was so easy to do and that it is healthy for the woman to do such, that you can practice it anywhere that no one would ever notice, for example, that I could be doing it at that moment...
Well then, they really laughed and cracked a joke or two about me on the next few days.
I wouldn't expect that kind of reaction on the 21st century, but it does occur.
Later it crossed my mind that maybe what shocked them and triggered that reaction was the comfortable and totally casual way I approached the subject.
Come on!!! There are women that still don't know their own bodies or even what an orgasm is!!!
Did you even know there are two types of female orgasm?
Not to bore you much longer I'll conclude my thoughts.
The more comfortable you are with intimate or sexual subjects will always make other people stare.
Whether it is because you wear daring clothes as a consequence of total acceptance of your body and sexuality or because you express intimacy in public or even when walk hand in hand with your gay partner or even, because your partner is of a different ethnicity. Most of the times people stare or make inappropriate comments because they don't understand, they don't know better or they envy you.
Of course, they can also just be bad people.
Prejudice is our society's poison and it is the first born of taboo...
Get a grip and talk openly about everything you feel like it. Don't know? ask.
You are free to do so. You don't like it?
Well I've got something to say to you if you don't - Sucks to be you! It's time to wake and start living.
I'm going to enjoy myself tonight, are you?
********You're still wondering what I suggested, aren't you?*********
