Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)

I ever followed natural inclination
Under the power of my constellation
And was unable to deny, in truth,
My chamber of Venus to a likely youth.
GEOFFREY CHAUCER
The Canterbury Tales
OK, not everyone's desire is the same. No one can tell you how much sex you should want. A sexless relationship or marriage is not necessarily a bad one, as long as, here's the key, both people are genuinely happy with that. Ultimately, relationships are about fit.

If you have fathered a child, if you have given birth, if sex is a source of healthy pleasure, thank your pelvis and your reproductive organs for allowing you to feel the creative rhythms of life.

I don't write about sex because it's not really my subject. I love it when other people write about it, but it's not my subject, and I don't want anyone I've had sex with to write about it. Plus, you're in front of an audience, and they picture wherever you're writing about. I'm 52; no one in the audience wants to picture that.

"8 health benefits of great sex", Net Doctor, September 4, 2017
Our society's notions of normality are completely fake and meta-trendy, since they rely on the changing standards of superstition, religion, Christianity and gender bias to define themselves. Americans, in particular, exhibit very childish reactions to sexual practices that are new to them, much like little kids who are offered a vegetable they haven't seen before: "That's disgusting!" "But darling, you haven't even tried it!"
