			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a weird disconnect going on. I love weird disconnects because they are saying something. I don&#8217;t know what this one is saying.</p>
<p>We all like sex. Our culture is permeated with sex. And yet we never talk about sex in a real way. We joke about it and we might share a few details with our best friend. But we never really talk about it. It&#8217;s off the table. I wonder why that is. How often do you and your partner have sex? What&#8217;s your approach to masturbation? Do you like oral sex? Do you swallow? Anal? Do you like to dress up? Or role play? Do you trim or shave your privates? What&#8217;s your favorite position(s)? How about a play-by-play of the last really great sex you&#8217;ve had?</p>
<p>All of these topics are off limits. We can all answer those questions. There are interesting thoughts that are associated with those sorts of topics. We could learn from each other, learn about each other and understand better <a href="http://www.lolife.com/2008/01/your-sexual-self/">this very weird overlay of sexuality that is a major part of the human story</a>.</p>
<p>Some of you maybe think I&#8217;m some sort of a perv already because I broach these topics. Even though most of us are sexually active people, admitting that you take an interest in sex can be perceived negatively. In the wrong context, talking about even the most normal sexual acts can get you fired or sued.</p>
<p>Why is this?</p>
<p>I think there are interesting sexual topics that are under-discussed because of this weird disconnect. I&#8217;m not just talking about the sorts of preferential questions I mentioned above. Sex is deeply hardwired into our conscious and unconscious behavior and it is fascinating. But please don&#8217;t talk about it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently added I guess what you would call a sex blog to my Google Reader. I&#8217;m as obsessed with sex as most men but I haven&#8217;t spent much time reading sex writing or sex blogs. This one has been pretty entertaining, though. It&#8217;s called <a href="http://reversecowgirlblog.blogspot.com/">Reverse Cowgirl</a> by writer Susannah Breslin and a friend sent me the link because of <a href="http://reversecowgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/fast-dirty-interview-merkley.html">a great interview with a Flickr photographer I like &#8212; Merkley???</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s NSFW most of the time and she talks about the sex industry in a very frank way. She is one of the porn-friendly feminists out there. As someone who thinks people looking at naked people is about the most natural thing in the world, it is kind of refreshing to read.</p>
<p>I would probably write about sex if I wasn&#8217;t so paranoid about my readers who are professional colleagues or family members&#8230;</p>

<blockquote><p><em>If a Christian man is kissing his date and it gives him an erection (often just the possibility of a kiss can do this), is God or his date being honored?</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m sure God is disgusted by the reproductive processes he invented.</p>
<p>Remember folks: God made sex fun! He invented the clitoris, for example. He invented erections. In fact, He made us <a href="/blog/2008/01/your-sexual-self.html">the sexual beings that we are</a>.  You have a duty to repress it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are two you&#8217;s &#8212; the normal, everyday you and the sexual you. I&#8217;m pulling out the sexual you not because of the normal human fascination with sex but for the more coldly scientific reason: you are a creature that reproduces. You are hardwired to be a creature that reproduces. Some have gone so far as to say that everything about you is just a vehicle for your testicles or ovaries. A way to get around. To me what is interesting about our sexual selves is that it is one area where we are, in some ways, deeply in touch with our animals roots. Instinct takes over, to some extent, when you are involved with sexual behavior. <em>Subconscious drives come into play.</em> This is why a) people are so diverse when it comes to sexuality and b) why we are so obsessed with sex, as a culture. It&#8217;s hardwired. Natural selection has selected us because we like to fuck. Sex is selected.</p>
<p>I can see why this scares the loony-toon creationists. They don&#8217;t at all like the idea that they are the product of a long line of horny sex. At least they say they don&#8217;t. Yet we see the same overlay of a sexual self on those people, the faithful puritans of the &#8220;family values&#8221; movement. They get into trouble <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/17538811/dickheads_of_the_year/photo/5/large">fucking whores</a> or <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/17538811/dickheads_of_the_year/photo/4/large">being gay</a>, too. <em>Subconscious drives come into play.</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a fascinating subject, really, the interplay of the sexual self and the &#8220;normal&#8221; self, where our personal and social ambitions meet the hard, cold fact that we have been fine tuned over millions of years to be sexual creatures.</p>
