Just been on NewsTalk 106 taking part in an hour long discussion about whether the Irish are prudes. I was quite chuffed to be on a panel that included the editor of Irish Tatler, Vanessa Harris and novelist, Sheila Flanaghan, along with a doctor and a bloke from Pfizer.
Talked about the Lovers' Guide video (big surprise) Cliterati (even bigger suprise) and whether people over-analyse sex too much.
I reckon that talking and learning about sex is a good thing. However, it's the comparisons that suck:
"Oooh, the average person has sex 150 times a year. I'm not getting enough/I'm oversexed."
What's the point of comparing yourself to other people? If you're happy with what you're getting, why waste time feeling inadequate because someone else is getting more action than you (if they were even telling the truth when they answered the survey anyway)?
