America reveals its sexual secrets !

Hi (:

Today I have to write about a career-related article from the Guardian (an online newspaper).

Well, I choose a article named “America reveals its sexual secrets”. ¿Why? I really love relationships subjects, and sex is an important matter in it. So many couples based their relations in sex, and a huge number of others ends theirs because of it. Also psychology has a hole area for these subject, called sexology.

The article talk about a research made by the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior (NSSHB) of USA, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The study reveals that people are now more honest about their sexual activity, and more adventurous, innovators. But studies doesn't reveal much into reasons why our sexual behavior is evolving in this way.

But the honest responses and the encourage to be more open are probably because the new survey was carried out online.

Then, an specialist said that American society continues to view sex “primarily in negative terms”. Also that “We have a sexually dysfunctional society because of our limited views of sexuality and our lack of knowledge and understanding concerning the complexities and joys of humanity”.

I think that this is very important, and is enough of taboos. The are so many diseases and unnecessary worries derived of the prohibition of have an open, frank conversation about sex.
