"Y being Indians are we so Conflicted about SEX?"


When I take my way 2 the streets of the Arabian Sea beaching chowpatty, marine drive, colaba, my view always stretches @ the couples who appear like "homing piegons". They're everywhere, these thieves of love, sitting under umberellas on a bike or if lucky, they're in parked cars, so all u can see is a silhouette of 2 heads leaning 2wards each other. And its not like they're doin smething raunchy either. They jst add 2 the landscape- usually a man standing up & a woman lying across his chest, her arms around him. I suddenly feel like I m a visitor 2 a Zoo & @ my time I m about 2 toss peanuts 2 the performing Monkeys.
"Y r we as Indians so conflicted about SEX?? Sex is everywhere-
its in d bill-boards u see on ur way 2 work;
its d cut of a backless blouse wid the shimmering bronzed shoulder popping outa it;
its d patting of ur pal on ur butts after a win over;
its in d young men on roads & buses who dnt hesitate 2 undress & rape u wid their eyes..
so basically its a testament 2 how much people r havin Sex every day, evry hour, every second? & yet we hide it away as much as possible, pretending it does not exist, pretending dat copulation is so far beneath us dat a pure person of "good ethics" may never ever think of creating other pure people. Since its everywhere, we feel no need 2 talk about it, we feel there is no need 2 discuss it in so called 'polite society'. & possibly there isnt. It doesn't xactly make for excellent conversation either @ my Home or @ a dinner table wid family friends & it remains in the "wink-wink nudge-nudge arena of DIRTY JOKES".
Its mandatory for an individual 2 think, talk about & actually have Sex wen u're SAFELY, HAPPILY MARRIED 2 a SAFE, HAPPY PERSON, but wat if u get knocked-up? Uh-Oh, then the looks of embarrassment abound.
I've seen the lecherous looks on the ways, & I think, "really, is there a PREGNANT CHIC FETISH I havent heard about!" & then I surfed the internet happening 2 find the apparent mass of 'PREGNANT WOMAN PORN' flashing on my TFT.. &...
I guess d logic is, if u've had sex wid 1 person, u shud b okay havin sex wid several, isnt it??
It was a suspended parallel universe which I wid all my oh-I-am-a-Gay- & -oh-I-m-liberated- & -oh-I-can-say-sex-widout-flinching had no part in.
I remember way back in degree college, wen my Business-Communication class faced a row of flats, every even days of tuesday,thursday & saturday(until a teacher intervened) der used 2 b commotion as all the boys gathered 2wards the large window & gazed up in the faraway house. The reason? A lady known for doing Yoga naked in her terrace just around the time. I cud never see her, xcept perhaps a faint shadow in her utkatasana pose in the distance but I was assured she was young, voluptuous & hot.
& wat about these other guys who line up in front of Salman Khans House on his Birthday or every weekend roll?? they swear 2 b STRAIGHT! but dats not the fact , they twist up for his 'andaaz' of coming out in his towel, sayin hello-tata & playin a male stripper role! & these men just wait for dat.
IS DIS WAT OUR PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE APPROACH 2 SEX IS BRINGING ABOUT?

then its a scary thought...!!
