MessageHi SD,
I'm glad you found the discussion interesting.
I've tried to make a point of not shying away from
topics that some may find embarrassing. People have
too many sexual hangups, if you ask me.
Personally, anal sex *isn't* really my cup of tea
or something I anticipate doing too much of in my life,
but I still think it's worthy of discussion and
moreover its application to Taoist sexual energy practices.
PERSONAL STORY:
I took a course once whose major topic was sexuality.
In the course, there was another male I spoke with a couple
of times during breaks. It turned out that he was
secretly gay, but I didn't know that at the time.
At any rate, he told me that he felt that
certain topics weren't being discussed and weren't being
asked, that he had questions on. Not knowing what he
had in mind, I told him that he should just ask his
questions before the course was over--that it was
supposed to be a safe, secure environment to ask such
questions.
So, anyway, toward the end of the course, he asked the
people running the course questions about *anal sex*.
Unfortunately for him, the facilitators basically
ridiculed him and didn't really answer his questions.
Now they didn't know that he was gay, but that's not
an excuse either as there are plenty of heterosexual
couples that explore the practice. So in total it was
simply poor immature behavior.
As a result, he felt humiliated and upset,
and I felt bad for him. It bothers me to this day, actually.
My feeling is, is that even if someone has NO interest
whatsoever in anal sex, they should still be educated on it,
so that if someone else asks a question, they can give
a complete answer and be respectful while doing so.
Anybody that asks a serious sexual question should be given a
serious response, as it is often hard enough for some people
to even muster the courage up to ask the question to begin with.
