Question: A question for the lovely Ladies of Yahoooooooooooo!? Why is it that women quite often act like sex is really embarrassing, humiliating to talk about?\n\nSome women feel it should never be even spoke of.  \n\nYet you love it just as much as the guys and some of you are really naughty too...\n\n( I mean naughty in a good way. )\n\nWhy put on the act?  We all like it, we all have it..\n\nIn fact we would not even be here if it was not for our parents having sex.

Answer: I may be a male, but I think I can answer this....\n\nTaboos are being usurped everyday.  However, some are deeply seated in history, religion, and decorum, such as discussion of sex by women.  The catholic religion frowns heavily on pre-marital sex (you know the results of that).  Women in nearly every culture and location are still held to a certain level of expectations, and one of those expectations is they should be seen and not heard and another in a certain culture we all know, is that they should not even be seen...  A boisterous woman is often looked at as shameful and "loose".\n\nWhile this is trending in popular culture to be much less obvious, there will most likely be residual influence for at least another generation.  This country's puritanical history will always have a certain influence on popular culture, the over-all influence is being buried over the years.\n\nMany other country's have a much looser view of this type of topic (such as Germany, Greece and Brazil) they still are less accommodating on other concerns.
