I know that TONS of women, and men, are unsatisfied with their sex lives. How else are we going to resolve those issues unless we talk together... not just with our partners, but also with others who have been there? Maybe not over dinner, sure (though with some of our friends, it would be okay), but at least over a drink at a bar or something casual.

I think that part of the issue with talking to people about their sex lives is- if your sex life sucks, you don't wanna think about it, much less talk about it. It's much easier to ignore your problems than deal with them in a constructive manner. Personally, I am charged by my negative sexual expierences to make sure that other women don't have to go through the same thing. I spent so much wasted time on hormonal BC and being totally whacky because of it that I will happily tell everyone I see on the street to go look into getting an IUD or something.
I think it also depends on the generation you come from. Girls today are more open about sex, and while that has negative side effects (like twelve year olds dressing like prostitutes) it also means that people are more open about what's going on sexually. It's starting to affect how we think about sex as a culture, and that's a good thing- it means that there will be less instances like many of us had growing up, with our parents never talking about sex.
Perhaps I do stick my nose out a little too far, but I've got a great sex life and a great marriage after years of having a crappy string of boyfriends, and I'll be damned if I will hesitiate to do my part in helping other women have as great a life as I have.
