RE:Why are we so Prudish about Sex?
by Sivashankar on Aug 15, 2008 02:41 PM

It is ridiculous to read that the character sleeps with her guy (only a few times you know) before they become offically boyfriend n girlfriend!!!!! This, to me in one level in advance...in other words, these days everyone in India is becoming increasingly aware that those in relationships are very likely to make it sexual before marriage...but this one is advanced in the sense they make it physical even before there can be any defined relationship!!!!!!

This is more in tune with the west where one night stands, pick up sex etc are all so prevalent. Now, don't argue by asking whether that "this kind of romp never happens in India?"

What does this so called author wanna convey? She knows "what sells"...if she can come up with diverse topics other than sexcapades, bra straps, late night parties, then she might end up having a wider audience.

The fact is even now she does have a wide audience, but the audience from all age groups r likely to be men and I guess, men in age group 50 n above r more likely to enjoy this stuff then someone like me who is 24!

Let the arguments continue as well as expression of desires and fantasies openly.
