If you mean sex in the 'fucking' sense, it's a taboo topic, so people
get obsessed with it.

Yeah, we can't talk about it so all we do is talk about it. Foucault's
paradox.

Sure. Don't you ever feel awkward talking about sex to new acquaintances
in a restaurant or on a bus, or otherwise in public? Almost everyone
is awkward about discussing sex except in a rather narrow suite of
circumstances. You can talk about (say) car tires everywhere, so sex
is a more taboo subject than car tires.

I don't think that's the only thing that makes it interesting, though.

I suppose that depends on what relationship you have with your car's tires.

I see you are all glad I brought up tires so you could avoid talking
about sex in public.

But we are talking about sex, Rane. :) Haven't you ever tried to procreate
with your Firestones?
Which is entirely different than that fetish for Roy Firestone I keep hearing
about, but we wont' go there.

I can't talk about sex in public because I've never had sex in public.
Unless you count a moving car.
Or my driveway.
Or a tent at a campground.

I've tried to have sex while being supported by Firestones, but I don't
want to get into that right now.

Speaking of Clinton's definition, would *he* say that brighn has had sex in
a moving car?
Was one or more of the participants involved in actually driving the car?
If so, I'm impressed.
Oh, wait, I wouldn't want Rane to think I'm dodging the issue. Brighn, did
you actually engage in vaginal or anal intercourse while in a moving car, or
was it a case of drivetime munchies?

If we are considering sex to be taboo because we don't discuss it with every
person we meet on the street, there are so many things that we would never
think of as taboos that now become taboo.
i.e., how you are really doing today. What color your socks are. Why they
still play Full House reruns on TV.

<gasps>!!!
SEX IS NOT TABOO!
americans don;t talk about it because they're prudish and under-sexed. and
insecure. or because they simply think it's no one else's business. which is
perfectly reasonable..
