Thank you analog.

Saying sex is something that is only for the bedroom and not something to be talked about is a judgement about sex in itself.

Sex is an important part of all societies and especially so in ours, why not talk about it? We can maturely talk about any other number of issues, and respectfully disagree without digressing to name calling and stereotyping, judgement and discrimination, sex should be no different. The problem is sex starts becoming a major issue during adolescence; a time not defined by maturity, but by judgement, stereotyping and discrimination.

The fact that sex is not talked about does nothing to help this. As long as sex as viewed as a taboo groups like this will flourish, not that there is anything wrong with that, but when there is no counterbalancing force it can lead to a very distorted view of sex. Sex is vilified preventing it from being viewed as something healthy and enjoyable when treated in a responsible way.

Until someone steps up and says to these kids "Look, responsible sex is a viable alternative that doesn't inherently have all these negative stereotypes associated with it" adolescents will not be able to get the full picture or be able to make an honest judgement about what is right for themselves. Which in turn leads to the stereotyping and immature views on sex. Simply talking about sex doesn't cause the problem, talking about sex from only one side of the issue causes problems. Nobody wants to do try to fix it however because premarital sex has been so ingrained into our society as evil that anyone who does is immediately labeled and slandered, which does absolutely nothing to change it.
