Talking about sex in public.

[jd_uk]

well.. it's not so much that people are prudes..

I say it's more that americans started some crazy sue fest for about the past 20 years..

where as women can probably talk about sex.. as much as they want.. and probably even harass men about it.. and nothing will come of it..

men can't really talk about it at all.. especially not in the office..

stupid sue fest..

Yeah that is a big part of it. But i think people are prudes also.

You go to some European countries and people are so much more open about sex. Men are "allowed" to be men there and women are much more open about sex too. It's quite refreshing. Damn if you go to Amsterdam then the sex shops are next to mcdonalds and family stores. Yet in UK or US if you even mention sex in public then people are shocked. The only time you can get away with it is when going out at night. It's sad. Still, could be worse...least we don't get stoned for it.

lol...exact opposite of my work environment. Being in an old boys network means you make certain allowances for old boys talk. And god forbid I show even a sign of sexuality. That's life, it's not that big of a deal. As far as I'm concerned it's a very small concession to make since I don't think the workplace is a good forum for my private activities and thoughts. Every one of us deals with a double standard somewhere in our lives.

we can work together

Pretty much.

I tended bar for many years. Stuff was said to me that would make even the most potty-mouthed sex-starved test-brimming e-stud wannabee blush and for the most part, all I could do was to ignore it. If it was somewhat funny, I would smile or continue the joke (my income depended on my affability). It the comments were offensive I would usually pretend I didn't hear them. I would only have a guy bounced if he actually tried to touch me.

Once I became older and more experienced I would confront guys eye to eye that were straight up out of order and embarrass the shit out of them. 100 percent of the time, this worked.

Because I live in the south now, I must reel myself in quite a bit..... we are talking NO SEXUAL innuendo or cussing of any sort. I am very easy-going and not easily offended, however, I am always mindfull not to offend anyone else. As for the good ole boys, yea I am in the world of oil and gas. It don't get much more good ole boy than that. For the record, NO MAN has ever offended me by cussing or talking of sex... but I believe that has more to do with my husband's presence than anything else.

I find it peculiar that because I am a man's wife that this seems to command more respect. I dont really know why that is as I am the same woman before I married him....

I got it and addressed it.

I dont get what the big deal about discussing sex is either. Hello, that is how we all got here...

But as I said, I live in the south now so I have to be carefull so as not to offend anyone else. LOL
