Why sex is so much dominating factor in US and Europe?

Do you mean, like, gender or fucking?

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.

sex is taboo???

<blinks>

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.

doh!

*poopy trombones*

but are there more brands of tires than there are sex? 
  
practice safe driving: use four inflated rubbers simultaneously
  

"Where the rubber meets the road"

Then there was the guy who made a tire out out 365 used condoms and called
it a Goodyear...

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 had sex once at night on a basketball court. well not technically *on* the
court...

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

oh and also in a lounge. but that's only if we're not limiting this to
clinton's definition of sex ..

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..

Americans talk about it ad nauseam.  What planet are you from?

oh. yea. 

resp:20  Yeah, a sense of propriety is usually a good thing.

Sex?  What's that?  Never heard of it.

What for?  Propriety, apparently, is for prudes.  I think truly open-minded
people should feel free to ask people what sexual position is their preference
whenever they happen to meet them.  It allows for a great deal of righteous
indignation when those people wind up smacking them in the face, too.

so, how many priests did you smack in the face?

I dunno.  Sex obviously is taboo in some respects -- for example, you can
show just about any violent act you want on TV, but anything vaguely sexual
is considered a no-no.  You can make war but you can't make love. ;)

#18> I had a lover whose fantasy it was to have sex in a moving car, so we
did. It was in the backseat. Valerie was driving. She was annoyed because she
hadn't realized before she agreed to it how much the rocking would impair her
ability to drive.
 
I've also received blowjobs while driving, including a few times to
ejaculation.
 
Next question?

i'd crash if i came while driving.

Then, by all means, don't come while driving.
Unless I'm mistaken, though, there's not a sizable risk of you being fellated
while driving anyway.

ya specially since i don have a car. but there's always manual service or
something. how come me and brign are the only perves here eh?

I'm not a pervert anymore. I just have a history. *sigh*
My sex drive collapsed a few years ago and it doesn't seem to want to return.

doh.

Loocky yuoo, I moost get leeed et leest tveece-a a dey steell

Sex is a dominating factor in the US and Europe because finding enough 
food to eat and keeping enemies from robbing or killing us have become 
trivial, so sex is the only basic human drive left that presents any 
kind of challenge.

Re #33:  If you get depressed about that, make sure you don't take anti-
         depressants because it will make it worse...

Driving and having sex!!!! What was the speedo meter reading?
