Yes. I apologize for not communicating clearly. In the West, around most matters re sex, I see hypocrisy, contradictions, unchallenged assertions and implications and outright slander. Basically terrible communication besides plenty other issues. Regarding poor communication I blame a fair part of this on our schooling system which completely fails so many of us on some things that are so important - at least when I went through school we never had any classes on how to communicate with any of our peers whom we might imagine the possibility of a relationship - which for me was the greatest heartache growing up and the most significant thing dominating my consciousness (the possibility of and desire for an intimate relationship, the inability to begin such a conversation, and the lack of awareness (or unconscious suppression or whatever) of the fact that actually starting a conversation was actually my only problem - it took some years into "adulthood" and university before I surmounted my chasm of absolute fear and actually, yes it's true, began conversations with "possible of my peers". I discovered that variations on "hello" was not a bad way to start a conversation. Death defying to do so in my experience. But I actually managed to live through saying "hello", eventually many times! I know, I know - might sound pretty sad now, but hey, that was my journey. There are some folks, perhaps even those not still in their "younger years" who suffer all manner of insecurities, fears, and yes, certainly painful memories from childhood and or adulthood. Really we owe it to one another to try and lift the dialogue. I'll keep working on mine - evidently needs plenty of improvement...
