Must be due to mobile phones! :)

 

I find the last statement about education the most fascinating! Not necessarily surprising but still!

When we were young, sex had this taboo, secret aspect of it that made it exciting. Constant access to porn makes sex more 'regular' to the young.

My brother conducted an experiment on his sons, who were born in the early 70s. He provided a constant supply of sexual material like Playboy and Penthouse around the house like they were the Reader's Digest. They graduated high school virgins, never married, never had kids, never thought of sex as more than an aspect of a relationship. They are also very well adjusted and successful. This thing where sex is so repressed is such a life killer. I can only imagine what I may have accomplished if I had even a fraction of the time I wasted thinking of and looking for pussy. Sex ed for me in the 60s...dont ask, dont tell.

Then there are those of us who enjoy sex daily. Most times more than once a day. And then live the lifestyle....so that sex and sex play is a recreational sport. I am sure none of us are included in those statistics. It would be interesting to run the same study and age groups of those active in the lifestyle. Curious.

      According to an article in the latest issue of Psychology Today about 25% or the population harbor some type of fantasy, kink, fetish or dark secret not considered normal. For instance the guy who surfs the web looking for shemale sites to get off on, or the prim and proper schoolteacher who loves getting spanked, etc., etc.. This does not include pedophiles or other types harmful to society. The good news is that generally these people are usually the adventurous and daring types who shape the world. Generally the 75% considered normal usually lead bland and uneventful lives.
       
      Does that make you feel better about yourself? Does me.

      My wife is really uptight about her sexuality to the point where it hinders even are regular sex life. Any suggestions on how to open her up?
       
      I am interested in a swinger type lifestyle. She isn't totally opposed to it, like she doesn't straight up tell me no way in hell when I mention a threesome, but she is not emotionally ready for one because of her uptightness.
       
      The other night was the first time she was even willing to put on a show for me and masturbate after 2 and a half years of marriage. She is uptight enough that she has a hard time getting wet because she is too worried about how she is whether I'm enjoying myself etc. etc.
       
      How do I get her to open up and more sexual?
