Why are so many people seemingly insecure or prudish about sexuality?

They're afraid to talk about it openly; this could be in the form of personal fetishes/preferences, it could be about sexual orientation, it could be about whether you prefer to be a top or bottom, it could be anything at all. But the basic gist, is that by and large, the seemingly vast majority of people have an almost... prudish demeanor about them when it comes to this particular topic.

Maybe it's just because I've become so numb to it that I just don't care anymore, but... honestly, I have several friends I have entire conversations with about sex. I have no problem openly espousing my fantasies if asked, and I would experiment with all kinds of **** if given the opportunity (threesomes, orgies, BDSM, etc.). Because of my mentality, I just... I don't really understand the reluctance and reservation most people seem to display in this area. It just doesn't make sense.

So what if people don't approve of your personal preferences/lifestyle? Who cares if the average person is freaked out by discussions pertaining to this area? I think if personal reputation and attentiveness toward what other people think would disappear, so too would this ridiculous implicit notion that sex is "sacred", something that is not to be discussed openly. It's biological, for **** sake. Why be ashamed of that?

Opinions are welcome?

I don't know how much discussion this is going to get, but this is something that's been on my mind for awhile, and I feel like kvetching about it.

Lotus, is that your answer to everything Kori asks (as true as it is)?

I have no problem talking about the biological aspects of sex, but when it comes to personal preferences and such, I tend to get really shy. I'm... honestly not even sure why, tbh. Maybe, in my subconscious, I don't want to talk about it with people I have no intention of having sex with? Maybe I don't want to admit things? I honestly don't know... It may also be due to a certain girl I know IRL who has absolutely no boundaries when it comes to conversation and has been known to even touch people inappropriately without consent... Just last night she tried to dance with me in an intimate way. I have no idea why, either. I mean, I don't think it's a problem to have conversations like that when everyone present is willing to talk about it, but some people REALLY need to learn to stfu when someone tells them to >_>; She's so infamous around here that anyone who acts like that is instantly compared to her...

Also, is this a follow-up to your previous topic?

Nope. It's been the answer to the last couple of questions because, as you say, it's true.

Because society has conditioned us to view nudity and sex as worse than violence and death.

"Did you hear about those soldiers maimed by that car bomb?"
"Yes, I read it in the paper this morning."

"Did you hear about the woman who took three dragon dildos to the garbage shoot?"
"Uh..."

As opposed to other forms of sex, I thought that was implied.

Well, yes, but we weren't sure if you meant anything specific by it.
