[QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [QB] This is perhaps a bigger question than you know. :) But maybe not: I never know what someone's understanding of sexuality and history is. In short, this has a whole lot to do with a longstanding cultural sentiment and agenda when it comes to sex and shame, and about a push for people (especially women) to feel like their bodies are shameful, their genitals are icky to everyone but sexual partners, and the idea that if people talk about sex and their bodies...well, any kind of order as we know it will somehow completely fall apart. Cultural control like this IS an effective way to control people. In other words, if you want people to feel afraid of sexuality and the parts of their body which most often are part of sexuality, messages like this work and have worked all too well. :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
