Are we really talking about sex, baby?

from Raise the Question · host Anurag Sikder

Sex and sexuality still remains a topic that is hushed and attracts looks of disapproval whenever it is raised. From mainstream television to schools to our very own homes, sex and intimacy seemingly remains a taboo and something that is best not spoken about or discussed. For the 3 people here, it was common during our adolescent and teenage years to shun the topic. But all 3 of us believed that the matter must have progressed in the years after we attained adulthood. In such a discussion, its always good to get another perspective, a younger perspective. So in this episode of 'Raise the Question', we invited 2 young college students and asked them about how sex was discussed in their schools, homes and neighbourhoods. We discussed sex education in schools and at home, the personal nature of intimacy, the impact of pornography and the importance of using protection.
