Welcome Cindy! Going through your links, including the lungi dance one. I'd always assumed that all sex videos are (with the exception of sex education ones) porn, so this is something new to me. Even on the net, any searching for topics relating to sex results in viruses (virii?) or worse, so I quickly gave it up.
I find that my friends are completely unwilling to discuss sex; we seem unable to be objective about it. Completely agree with Suresh's words, that a frank discussion quickly degenerates into prurience and then a strained, embarrassed silence, and the subject is conveniently brushed under the carpet. Have there been any discussions on sex on this list? I'd love to hear about your experiences while setting this up. Cheers, Deepa.
