Seriously, the first time I ever did a sex toy review people reacted very oddly. It was fine that I had already publicly implied that I was perverted, depraved and oversexed since I was reviewing porn but a sex toy was way to much information for people who were regularly reading my movie reviews. I didn’t get it then and I don’t get it now.

I also have been known to promote my reviews on my Facebook page. No one seemed to mind, not even my mother in law once she found me on there (that one had me worried a bit) until someone I went to school with and wasn’t really friends with found me. Then I was getting emails “Quit sending me porn”. HUH? I don’t send anyone porn unless they ask me for it. I had to explain to him about adjusting his Facebook settings. I also started wondering why people who I “offended” (for lack of a better word) in school thought that I would be less offensive years later. If anything I have gotten worse (by their standards).

Then there was the article I had to write on sex and body piercings. People who were always willing to share way to much information with me about their sex life when I didn’t ask suddenly clammed up when I was doing research for an article.

I have come to the conclusion that people are weird. While they may own a dildo or two they aren’t going to admit to it because they feel they need to put on a dog and pony show about who they are and are afraid if their friends found out they had and used a dildo they would be judged, called a pervert or whatever. Isn’t it amazing what you find out about people when you become a sex blogger of some sort? People are so weird and I will never understand them.

My mother? Up until 5 yrs ago, she still spelled “s-e-x” and avoided any & all references to anything sexual. Hell, when I started my period, all she did was hand me a pad & said ‘position it well’. I thought I was hemorraging & gonna DIE–I was an early bloomer & school hadn’t had the movie yet. My cousin filled me in later that day.

In any case, I’m confused why people have to hide sexuality in their lives. It’s one of the best perks–evahhh. Right next to breathing & above chocolate. Dildos are fun, so are vibrators & fingers & tongues–etc…

Seriously, though…

I know a lot of us do take sexual openness for granted as if it’s the norm for everyone – and it’s not. But what amused me endlessly was people complaining about the use of the word dildo who then used the word dildo to complain.

Cuz. They saved so many eyes the trauma of the word, yanno?

I’m thinking of the Soup Nazi’s voice “No DILDOS for YOU” omg, that’s great.
