oh yeah... it's also very educational... if you have any questions about anything on sex or your own body, go to this site:

www.teenwire.com

it really helps too! Also, for those who are having sex... check porn. It'll help with techniques,styles,and pleasure. Hey it also helps those who aren't getting none... like me... not that I can't though.

I talk about sex with my guy friends, and girl friends. Like about birth control, etc. but, I have had a few guys ask if I was a virgin and if I would want to have sex with them, why or why not. THAT is what I DON'T like talking about.

I am open to talking about too because I have alot of questions about things that the subject raises. But I also think the reason why most girls don't talk about it is because they weren't brought up to be open about sex in their home or it's because we live in a society that doesn't really allow girls to be open about because we have this misconstrude image that a girl show be prim and proper and not talk about it. That's my thought.


I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha

i am also very open abotu sex. i can talk to it to anyone unless they are against sex or abusive towards woman. I think that if anyone brings up sex to me i can talk to them back about it. except my mom she really makes me feel uncomfortable. as logn as some one isnt just using another person for sex then i am all for it.

I am open about sex for the most part but there are just some people that make you feel uncomfortable. I can't talk about it to everybody. I do get annoyed w/ guys when they talk about me or other girls like we are objects and how they want to do things to/with us. They say "I'd bang her" or "I'd hit that" or, when speaking to me, "wanna do me?". I know they are joking and if they did get someone to accept they would have no clue what to do, but it still irks me to hear guys talk like that. When it comes to talking educationally about sex I have no problem, as long as its not w/ my mom or something, but i havent gotten the sex talk and hopefully i won't, but w/ friends it's a regular topic of choice.

I'm completely open to talking about sex. It doesn't bother me. But in all honesty---I really don't think there's much to talk about. It's just sex.

When I'm with my guy friends, I can laugh about and even make perverted jokes---as long as they're not derogatory to women. I know it's weird but I'm a girl that is completely straight and can talk as much as any guy about sex---jokingly or educationally.

Well....except my dad. But that's a whole 'nother story.

I don't know about any of you, but my friends are I talk about sex (I'm a girl, most of my friends are female). We don't talk about, "I got layed last night," or "I so want to do him..." but we talk about sex openly. We talk about birth control, and our believes regarding teen sex, and what feels good and what doesn't, and mastubation, and whatever else. I guess we are unusual, but sex isn't taboo among my group.

This is superman. Jamacia17 you didn't answer my question. It is true sex is a bond between 2 ppl but that doesn't work out that way all the time. So i think that sex should be a topic talked about so other teen are informed. It is educational because of the risks involved by where protecion and such.

This is superman again who came up with the question. Like I said I'm not some perveted teen boy who think sex all the time. I think that sex should be talked about because we are teens and we will be involved in situations involving sex. So no Jamacia17, I didn't post the topic because off some "super-ego". You didn't even answer my question any way.

Depending on who I'm talking to about sex, I'll get a little bit uncomfortable.I don't really consider it "sick and gross" at all though.

they don't think about it as much...but also because there's this subtle societal taboo that women aren't supposed to talk about things like that because it's not "lady-like". And, they could be accused of being ho-ish/****ty.
Yeah..that's a pretty good explanation.


What if what you think is great, really is great, but it's not as great as something greater?

Being a virgin you sure talk a lot for having nothing to say.

Some girls are open on the topic of sex, others just don't want to talk about it, maybe because there shy or think that it's no one esses buisness, some might have other reasons to.

Sex isn't only for married people. You can't make people ait jsut because you think they should.

If sex isn't for recreation, why is it enjoyable?

Once again, gay people are left out. If you're in love it doesnt necessarily mean that you're married and you're not being very clear as you contradict yourself.

Sex involves education. And sex doesn't always involve feelings. There is a thing called casual sex.

i think how open you are about sex depends on your culture. in PR, everyone can talk openly about sex and it doenst matter

Firstoff superman, im a female and i talk about sex very openly. but i think that may because of my mom, (who is also very open with the subject, not that she tells me when she has sex but for educational purposes) and most of my friends are guys. I really dont know why some girls are shy of the subject, maybe they still turn red when talking about it, so they avoid it all together. i kinda agree with iceland though, maybe its ccause we dont think of it as much.
Jamaca thanks for being a pure teen. I with ya all the way. But just so eveyone knows, sex even with condoms is dangerous. Every condom has a hole in it. Some are just bigger then others. lets put some things in praprotion here. Ok say the average size hole in a condom was about the size of a dime. The size of a sperm would be about the size of a quarter. so it wouldn't fit through the hole. thats good, but the size of an hiv thing is about as big as a dot on a paper, so it can still fit through the hole. Condoms are ment as a birthconrol, you can still get deises through them.

Yeah, well for many teenagers the teen years are rife with swinging emotions, love, and sexual feelings. Not just horniness, sentimental feeling, crushes or whatever as well. Plus there's the fact that like it or not teenage boys think about sex every single day. You women have only yourselves to blame for that. I'm just mentioning guys because I'm not really sure how much girls think about it. But regardless jamaica like it or not we have a ton of sexual/romantic feelings...that's what we're made for, to have sex!

I don't want to make a false generalization but i'm assuming girls don't talk about it as openly because they don't think about it as much...but also because there's this subtle societal taboo that women aren't supposed to talk about things like that because it's not "lady-like". And, they could be accused of being ho-ish/****ty. Everyone likes the nice, polite, pure little girl who only says polite things, right??? The ghost of that archetype still lingers...a little.
