The Sex Thread

[Slim Buddha]

Im not fooled at all, just cant understand the hype surrounding it. The book delves into the world of BDSM which Ireland has had a scene for years in and continues to do so. The book needed no shills, it spread by word of mouth and got popularity that way, everyone is talking about it.

Even if many are talking about how crap it is!

I have seen some of the passages, some of the women in work are talking about it in hushed tones but have acknowledged its crap!

Keep an eye out for the ones who sit down very carefully.

PR companies are paid to generate the "hype".

Thats not true. This is a very deliberate viral marketing campaign. They identify people that have large networks of friends, who people look up to. They pay them to spread the message through informal networks of friends, book clubs, coffee mornings, ann summers parties, internet forums, golf clubs, colleagues at work. Its classic viral marketing.

Just wondering, is this aimed at the women or the men?

A thread on thejournal made me think. Someone mentioned that they had seen a couple having sex in public in a toilet and was disgusted by it so open question, would you have sex in public? The idea appeals to me but not in the classic sense of everyone watching but in the sense that its back to nature and making love in a natural setting such as on a beach or under the stars has something very ancestral and primary about it, harking back to our days before civilsation established itself as it did now. There is a number of beaches in places around Europe where there are secluded spots for couples who wish to indulge in naturist activities or who want to have sex in public.

would you have sex in public?

Thanks for asking but it's very stormy out there.

There are several couples making love in this photo of an English park on a Saturday afternoon in 1969.

Problem pages are not normally my thing but this caught my eye. Men who wear womens clothing is becoming more and more open now with the vast majority of men being straight. A psychologist I head read about said its an expression of the femenine side of us. As Carl Jung theorised, we have our male and female side with the female side being repressed.

Emer Costello, Euro MEP has taken umbrage with the number of sex shops in Dublin and thinks they should be subject to tighter licensing inspections. Are we still in the 60s? Hang ups about sex? Abortion illegal?
