Ok first, I am not talking about the sodomy or stuff like that. But I think we can all take a lesson from the Greeks when it comes to sexuality. The Greeks openly talked about their sexuality in public. I think if we had less of 'behind closed doors' and more of 'let's just talk about it at the gym or anywhere' then I do not think we would have the sexual dysfunction that many people struggle with. Imagine going to lunch with a group of friends and each of you were concerned about each other's sexual well being. If we were concerned about each other's sexual well being in the same way that we are concerned about each other's physical well being, then how can that be a bad thing?

Sex can still be an intimate moment with your significant other. It's not like you are inviting your friends to have sex with you. And women tend to do this for the most part with their girlfriends (although I don't know what else girls talk about with their friends) and us guys kind of do this with our buddies except we aren't as concerned for our buddies. We just say "give it some elbow grease and it will be fine."

But imagine if you had commercials on TV about sexual health. I just saw a commercial a minute ago about a golfer who told me to ask my doctor about arthritis medication because he has arthritis. What would be so different about having a commercial on TV telling us to ask our doctor if sex is not fun anymore? I know it sounds funny, but think about it in the spirit that I meant it in.

If we prepared our kids for sexual maturity by telling them about what it means to be intimate and to give in to your partner's wishes, then don't you think that would prepare them to lead very healthy lives? I am not talking about telling your 7 year old about orgasms. I am talking about preparing your 15 year old to be able to understand consequences, as well as the good side of it. Your 15 year old is going to regress and rebel if you tell him/her that sex is dangerous all the time and to avoid it until marriage. Kids do not do that.

I just think that if we spent actual time and money focusing on our sexual health then the world would be a better place. And if we had an agora where we talked about our sexuality, then that might help us as well.
