I'm hardly an expert in this field, but I think our Puritan history has a major influence in describing sex and its representations as 'dirty' and not fit for public consumption. Thus we have ignorance and 'just say no' to fall back upon. BTW, I think your certitude may not be wholly warranted. My personal experience (hardly a sufficient sample), suggests there are exceptions to your assertions, but the issue is better addressed by women.

Thanks Douglas for commenting. I cannot post my educational content on LinkedIn or any other social network other than Twitter, which allows almost any content. I have been told that even partial nudity might be offensive. All of my images are non-pornographic - no genitals or breasts. But it is the words that offend women - references to the clitoris, penis, erotic fantasies etc. Women only accept romantic content and references to lovemaking. Most of them cannot even say the word sex without embarrassment.

I regret the experiences you have had, but I am not surprised by them. I am also willing to wager that makers of those restrictive rules are males not females.

Thanks Douglas. I do not believe that men are offended by terms such as erotic fantasy, clitoris, penis etc. Nor do I believe that men are offended by the implication that sexual activity might take place. My images do not show any genitals or breasts. They come from iStockPhoto. They are non-pornographic. My content is educational. But I cannot post it anywhere on social media apart from Twitter. I agree that men run the businesses that make the money. But they are censoring sexual content because of the complaints that come from women. Women feel threatened and disgusted by the erotic stimuli that arouse men. Many women cannot even say the word sex. Certainly most women are embarrassed by explicit descriptions of sexual activity. They prefer the term lovemaking which more accurately describes their motivations in offering intercourse to a loving partner.

That is a pretty observation. I do wish you well with your work, may it succeed in achieving a bit more openness for both genders.

Thanks Douglas for your support! Men are much more positive and constructive about sexual content that women. Men tell me they are aroused by what I write. They tell me that sex is a key joy in their lives. Some women say that they are not interested in sexuality. Other women are verbally abusive, probably because they cannot answer the questions I am asking. They believe that orgasm occurs without mental arousal, without any erotic stimuli and without any physical stimulation. The ignorance is extreme. Of course men's information comes mostly from pornography, which also doesn't help. But at least men are willing to comment. I have approached many female therapists and sexologists with doctorates who refuse to comment or who object to any discussion of female sexual response. Most of them believe that they orgasm by having an emotional connection with a man. They do not understand the nature of sexual response.

I totally agree with @Jane Elizabeth Thomas that women don't even wanted to hear the word sex not even a word about their own body parts.. sometimes it's very distressing when we ask our elderly women in our family about any issue or doubt related to our body specially related to sex, they don't even wanted share their experiences and they feel so ashamed after hearing that.. @Douglas Reybeck I don't know the history of who enforce the laws on women to not to talk about sex, whether it was a man or woman but one thing I know that usually there is always a woman who tries to enforce those stereotypically laws on women and because of that women like us who wanted to normalize sex in our society has to face ignorance, and have to be stigmatized by the people.. I hope one day people will understand and talk about sex as freely as they talk about our other basic needs like food and shelter..

Thanks Samiksha for having the courage to comment in the face of so many people spreading ignorance about female sexuality. Of course, many of them are making money out of male fantasies. Many of those commenting on female sexuality are male. Attractive young women are paid significant sums of money to promote the male perspective. It is difficult for anyone to find any true depiction of female sexuality in a heterosexual society dominated by men's insistence that women should provide the intercourse men need.
