Sexually Speaking – A Personal View

Why is sexual self-expression and sexual disclosure often hiding in the closet?  We live in a free society that seems to allow open discussions about even the most controversial topics.  Most of us are bombarded with sexual images, from movies, TV shows, commercials, videos, billboard displays, you name it.  We are sold the false image [...]
