Hello beautiful people,
Do you have juicy conversations about sex with your closest friends? If you do fabulous, I congratulate you. If you donât, why donât you? What is it about being intimate within our conversations with the people we love that scareâs the absolute crap out of us? I ask you, who would you be if you could freely have these juicy, open and honest conversations about sex with your friends?
What about your partner are you able to have juicy, open and honest conversations about sex with them? Can you tell them what it is that you like or donât like? If not, why not? Again I ask you, who would you be if you could freely have these juicy, open and honest conversations about sex with your partner?
And if youâre a person who doesnât have a partner can you at least have juicy, open and honest conversations about sex with yourself? I mean truly honest ones that are at the core of your being? Once more I ask you who would you be if you could have these juicy, open and honest conversations about sex with yourself? Committed!  Nah, thatâs only if you answer back, right! Though seriously, who would you be? Would you be a happy person?  Would you be an authentic person? Would you be a person who is closer to yourself? Just food for thought.
FYI juicy means deep and authentic, like getting into the nitty gritty of the subject and not just general chit chat or dancing around the surface, smack bang between the eyes! Or perhaps that could read between the Iâs!
I am gobsmacked that talking about sex in an open and honest way can still be such a taboo subject in this day and age, let alone discussing sexuality. It is the 21st Century people! Why then do so many of my fellow travellers continue to shy away from talking about what goes on in (and out of) the bedroom or in their imagination for that matter?
Just for curiosities sake I Googled the word Sex and got âAbout 601,000,000â results. Then I Googled the word Sexuality and got âAbout 20,000,000â results. Then Bisexuality  âAbout 4,700,000â, then Homosexuality âAbout 7,790,000â, then Heterosexuality âAbout 235,000â, then Relationships âAbout 158,000,000â, then lastly Intimacy which was âAbout 10,700,000â. So what did this tell me? That sex, sexuality, relationships and intimacy are very important topics to a huge number of people!
Someone please tell me then if people are so interested in the topic of sex, sexuality etc then why does it still rate so highly on the scale of taboo? And the other titbit that tickled my fancy was if âheterosexualityâ is such the ânormâ then why did it rate the lowest?
Since appearing on Insight I am thrilled that my girlfriends are now able to have these kinds of conversations with me that they werenât able to before the show and with their partners too I might add. Iâve been open too, willing and waiting for conversations like these to take place for years in my everyday interactions with them. I am pleased that since watching the show they now feel comfortable swapping ideas, thoughts and feelings with me and each other on the topic of sex and of course not forgetting their partners too. Hooray, woohoo, yippee!
I believe we can and do learn a lot from each other. How then do we continue to learn and grow if we hide things that are important and relevant from one and other then? Itâs time to put whatever inhibitions one might have in regards to talking about sex, sexuality, all of it and just get out there and do it, mingle a little amongst your friends, your partners or even potential partners and see what happens. Iâm only talking about conversations here, thatâs all, nothing else just juicy, open and honest conversations!
I envisage a world where unconditional love is at the forefront of any and every relationship. Where a person is free to be themselves and free to talk comfortably about what it is they do and do not like, especially in the bedroom. Where talking about sex is as natural a conversation as is talking about the weather when chatting over a cuppa or a dinner for two.
Being in good conversations with those you love or even with those you like is a wonderful gift to give and receive (including yourself and you thought Iâd forgotten!). Actually why stop there, I wonder what would happen if you had a conversation about sex etc with someone you didnât particularly like! Hmm, unconditional love people thatâs what itâs all about. Perhaps I am pushing the boundary a little with that one, though it would be fun to see what happens.
Let the real talking begin.
With love and hugs,
Lyndal
