Because we are still way too Victorian. Once upon a time (I've told this story before, a long time ago, sex was considered normal....as normal as eating, sleeping, etc...a part of life. However, it was denigrated by Christians in the past as evil. Making something forbidden and evil corrupts it. People abuse it. Just like eating. If one has no issues with food, there is no problem. But food issues causes problems like anorexia, bulimia, obesity, etc. I like to blame a lot of this on christian because they deny the body thinking only issues of the soul are good. But we are body and soul. It is only in acceptance of our body that we become balanced (by the way I know it is not just Christians that do this but they have done so much to destroy peace of mind regarding this.) Question for uptights: Who do you think invented sex? Do you think God did? And if he/she did, why is it we have that strong urge even when we are alone and without are partner? Didn't God invent that too?

I was taught that it was taboo to even mention the word sex and masturbation at that time,i had know ideal it was even a word....Your right about both being a normal part of life,but in my time and my parents time,you didn't ask questions about any of the sexuall things,it just wasn't done......When i because a teenager,my mom never had the talk,you know the talk....She never told me about girls having periods.....I learn all about the sex and masturbation and anything else on the subject in school....And i learn everything about starting you period in school . I don't mind talking about sex and masturbation,as long as it's not a laughing matter and being silly....

people have an issue with talking about sex because centuries of "proper" behavior says that sex is disgusting and gentlemen and women should not talk about it. People are ashamed of talking about masturbation because it makes them feel inferior. (as if they can't get a date.)

I'm not sure. Maybe they just don't feel comfortable with talking about that stuff with people. Some people find it's more sacred and choose not to talk about it because they feel like other people shouldn't get to here it because it's a private, personal thing.

I didn't think people did honestly, i was beginning to think people over talked about it. Things have changed alot in the last 15 years.

the church acts like it is a bad thing.
society acts like it's a bad thing.
thus many people think it's a bad thing.
