Anyways, back to my story. Well, I started learning about this thing call sex when I was about 14... that was when I discovered guys and the two porno videos that my parents hid in their cupboard... talk about revelation!! Don't even mention orgasms... I mean, I didn't know what it was until my boyfriend at that time (and currently) introduced me to it! Then, being the typical hot blooded (and naive) teenager, I started reading all these romance novels *puke*. That was when I was REALLY stupid and naive. I started off with the "Sweet Dreams" series, followed but "Silouhette Ecstasy" (the name is enough to make one gag) etc. Thank gawd I am out of the phase! Am kinda "proud" to note that I never read "Mills and Boons" so that is a plus right? My all time favourite at that time was Jackie Collins "Hollywood Wives" because she described some sex scenes. I remember having to hide it from my parents (was their copy anyways 
). I hid it behind my other books.
So I had my videos and books (my friends and I somehow never talk about these issues). Boy was I ever wrong. Sex in videos and books is drastically overrated and don't tell me that I am doing it wrong! I mean, how often is it that you have wonderful sex where both parties have multiple orgasms?? Do any of the media sources depict the bodily fluids that have to be cleaned up? The STDs that are floating around? The putting on of condoms (although I have to admit that in this day in age, people are starting to write about it) etc. No one told me that condoms tasted bad... or about how dryness can hurt (for the female during intercourse) or about how the skin can sometimes break in the uterus area or that women taste funny if they eat certain foods or on those rare occasions when your boyfriend (or girlfriend) goes down on you and your periods magically appears (thus killing the moment and the giving party ends up with a weird taste on their tongue). No one writes about how it is harder for females to come or how in the doggy position, if your partner is too enthusiastic and spreads the arse too wide, the skin around that area can break or that anal sex hurts. Media sources don't tell you that if you have intercourse, seminal fluid does tend to get messy. Have you ever read anything about the aftermath (aside from the cuddles or the male party falling asleep and snoring)? Have you ever read or heard anything about the mad rush for the tissue box to wipe up the semen? The totally ridiculous manner the female has to hold her legs (up in the air whilst she is on her back) in ardent hope that the semen doesn't mess up the sheets whilst, the guy makes a mad dash for the tissue box which is conveniently on the other side of the room? The wet patch that always happens after intercourse (without a condom). The totally unromantic process of cleaning up (is particularly hysterical when the guy gets tissue stuck onto his member). In books and in the movies... none of this happens... after the act, they both lie happily in each other's arms... no cleaning necessary. I haven't read anywhere that semen and vaginal fluid does tend to make a mess on black sheets.
And then (in books) when two or more people are having sex (regardless of age) they always have perfect bodies! No mention of sweat, extreme body hair, body odours, periods, vacrose veins and drooping breasts and wrinkles (if they are old) etc. No one mentions anything about how the female does tend to feel a little insecure with her body if she isn't having sex with some one she isn't comfortable with... regardless if it is a one night stand or not. There is no mention about how a party might feel worried that their butt might be on the ermmmm abundant side, or that there are extra bits of flesh which shouldn't be there (for health reasons), the thighs, the drooping breasts (for a female) or the size of the penis (inadequate or overly so).
The taboo extends further. People having sex in the media are always clean! I mean, they don't mention stuff about how the person smells and feels kind of funky after a long day's work. These people have oral sex with someone who has been at work all day and haven't taken a shower. There is no mention of the smell of urine on the genitals or if they are into reaming, the little bits of shit that always manage to stick to the skin around the arse (toilet paper doesn't really get it all)... or if they have farted... the little microscopic bits the come out with the gas that gets stuck to the skin... all this is a little bit of a turn off.
The raking of nails on one's back is a perfectly normal response... but have you ever read or seen anything that show blood being drawn? This is perfectly normal when one has sharp, long nails. Or that if a person is fingering another and that person has a hang nail, it does tend to tear the skin of the recipent. How about the length of pubic hair... have you ever read anothing about the lenght of it (other than it being shaven)? It isn't pleasant when one ends up with hair stuck between the teeth (don't know about you but I prefer using the spearmint flavoured and waxed variety) or the sneezing which undoubtably occurs if the nose is tickled too much by the hair. One thing that for the media is that they have depicted the sounds and noises that somehow escape when one is having sex... and it is also shown (albeit infrequently) that it does sometimes get loud and other parties hear it (thus causing a somewhat embarassing situation).
Don't get me wrong... I LOVE having sex (so now you know that I am not a virgin ) and trust me when I say that I do know quite a bit about it (hey... am kind of known for my research capabilities) but man... something is wrong with the world when it is still a taboo subject and it isn't depicted accurately... don't you think so???
Oh by the way... the stuff which I have written about is a collection of thoughts through the years via discussions with several parties and in no way reflects my own intimate activities. Hah!! Thought you got an indepth description of my sexual activites huh??
