For me I find it extremely difficult to talk about and it makes my cringe and want to crawl into a box and shut the lid.

Can you easily and openly talk about sex or feel repulsion and squirminess that feels extremely uncomfortable?

It's just another aspect of the human experience. As an author, I have found it easier with time to discuss. Took years of deprogramming of my upbringing. Big thing is consent. Will only discuss with those who want to.

@Samek I've never found it easy to talk about even when in relationships. Kind of embarassing as a mature adult that I can't talk about sex even when involved with someone. Sorta ruins things.

With the masses or strangers, defo not.
With my lover, yes! << That can make me exicited.

I think sometimes there is too much talk about it in society. It can create a type of desensitization and takes away from the flow of it. It isn't mysterious. It's natural.

@Magenta Ok it doesn't feel natural to me specifically but yeah I guess you're correct. In my last relationship there was basically never any sex talk because sex with her was all about her and never about me (as I discovered when the agenda was revealed) but it was nice while it lasted. I didn't get to give her oral, and she never did that for me, at all in the 5 yrs we were together. Just for one example, and I got the feeling sex was just a mechanical thing not a romantic/intimate thing. But I'd already been feeling there was a large 'limbo' like missing link in me so it wasn't a big deal (at the time). Anyway I'm happy being single since I don't feel I can understand women sexually and I know none understand me being 'wired' in a strange configuration. Sex talk is in that 'black box' I can't tap into I think.

@zonavar68 Hmm, perhaps you've just not found or been with a woman you are sexually compatible with. The right woman could help you tap into it. Someone less inhibited, receptive and cares about your pleasure as well.
