JANE: Men’s information comes mostly from pornography. But at least men are willing to comment. Men are much more positive and constructive about sexual content that women. JANE (cont): Men tell me they are aroused by what I write. They tell me that sex is a key joy in their lives. Some women say that they are not interested in sexuality. Other women are verbally abusive, probably because they cannot answer the questions I am asking. JANE (cont): Women believe that orgasm occurs without mental arousal, without any erotic stimuli and without any physical stimulation. I have approached many female therapists and sexologists with doctorates who refuse to comment or who object to any discussion of female sexual response. Samiksha : I totally agree. Women don’t even want to hear the word sex. Not even a word about their own body parts. Sometimes (in India) it’s very distressing when we ask our elderly women in our family about any issue or doubt related to our body specially related to sex. Samiksha (cont): They don’t even want to share their experiences. They feel so ashamed after hearing them. I don’t know the history of who enforces the laws on women not to talk about sex, whether it was a man or woman. But one thing I know is that there is usually a woman who tries to enforce those stereotypical laws on other women. Samiksha (cont): Because of that, women like us who wanted to normalize sex in our society, must face ignorance and are stigmatized by other people. I hope one day we will be free to talk about sex as openly as we talk about other basic needs like food and shelter. JANE: In Western culture, many of those commenting on female sexuality are male. Attractive young women are also paid significant sums of money to promote the male perspective. JANE (cont): It is difficult to find any true depiction of female sexuality in a heterosexual society dominated by male insistence that women should want to provide the intercourse men need. An interesting & fun way to learn about sexuality for all
