What We Talk About When We Talk About Sex

…and what it may mean to us when we can’t talk about it.  This is my latest post for More.com.  Go read it and if you’re so inclined, hit the I Like This button.  I will like this very much if you do.   And if you’re inclined to comment, all the better….

    There are topics that I think middle age women need to be talking about like the specifics of sex toys, lubes and is it time to think about buying a $1,500 sex machine? American made too and comes with interchangeable small and large attachments. Has anyone bought one and it is a good solid investment?

    This stuff makes people nervous and the small nagging voices imply shouldn’t I be getting busy with a man anyway? I would but at they moment most men my age don’t want me.

    I don’t take it personal because 95.7% of them I don’t want either.

    I know folks would be interested. But except for the trollish ickky-us there wouldn’t be much comment from the rank and file.

    This is risky just typing this comment. If I volunteer or if a current employer stumble on to my questions about quality clitoral vibrators what am I going to say? Invoke my right of freedom of speech and expression about sexual topics?

    It gets weird. This is the time we can yack it up and we are fighting that internal puritanical wave.

    I understand why people don’t but I think that they should comment. Then again, you can’t get folks to talk about sex unless they are in a safe place mentally or physically.

    It is a process.

    Interesting question. I have no idea why I never leave comments on sex related posts– and never realized it until I read your comments above. Hmmm, I’ll have to work on that but, um, in the meantime, I still don’t know what to say :-) But, I did click “liked it” at More.com. And I like your new pic too!
