JANE: If women enjoy the sexual pleasure of responding to eroticism as men do, why is all sexual content censored in our society? Women are not aroused by realworld erotic turnons as men are. No one can name any female turnons. JANE (cont): Only the male view of sexuality is promoted. Women talk of emotional rewards with a lover. Women prefer lovemaking upper body kissing and caressing to explicit genital stimulation. This is because they are not mentally aroused with a lover. Douglas : I’m hardly an expert in this field, but I think our Puritan history has a major influence in describing sex and its representations as ‘dirty’ and not fit for public consumption. Douglas (cont): BTW, I think your certitude may not be wholly warranted. My personal experience (hardly a sufficient sample) suggests there are exceptions to your assertions, but the issue is better addressed by women. JANE: I cannot post my educational content on most social media. I have been told that even partial nudity might be offensive. All of my images are nonpornographic no genitals or breasts. JANE (cont): But it is the words that offend women references to the clitoris, penis, erotic fantasies etc. Women only accept romantic content and references to lovemaking. Most of them cannot even say the word sex without embarrassment. Douglas: I regret the experiences you have had, but I am not surprised by them. I am also willing to wager that makers of those restrictive rules are males not females. JANE: I do not believe that men are offended by terms such as erotic fantasy, clitoris, penis etc. Nor do I believe that men are offended by the implication that sexual activity might take place. JANE (cont): My images are nonpornographic. My content is educational. I agree that men run the businesses that make the money. But they are censoring sexual content because of the complaints that come from women. Many women cannot even say the word sex. JANE (cont): Certainly most women are embarrassed by explicit descriptions of sexual activity. They prefer the term lovemaking which more accurately describes their motivations in offering intercourse to a loving partner. Douglas : That is a pretty observation. I do wish you well with your work, may it succeed in achieving a bit more openness for both genders. An interesting & fun way to learn about sexuality for all
