No big surprise there. I often think about sex. But what I was thinking about was the act of sex. The simple act of sex that causes so many people to get angry.

If I didn't think it was in poor taste I'd put up a set of pictures showing the sex act in all its forms. Since I do think it to be poor taste you'll have to imagine it. (there is no irony here - it is in poor taste, that is all)

My thinking is that sex is really a very simple and somewhat absurd act. It involves a part of your body being rubbed by a part of someone else's body. Or a part of your own if solo!

So, why is this simple, absurd act so surrounded by taboos, by rituals, by "obscenity", by shame?

There's nothing intrinsically wrong about a penis, an anus, a vagina or a mouth. What happened to make so many people interested in what someone else does in the privacy of their own home?
