it's the thing we do most, after maybe eating and sleeping.

But, we can't show it, talk about it, learn about it, or practice it.

Taking a few cues from Victorians, primitives, freethinkers and whatever, what's wrong with having sex as a required subject in High School? Boys and girls would be shown how to do it right without guilt, fear, or violence.

Communal marriages don't seem to work, but open marriages have a better chance and can't getting a little on the side be assumed in many cases? (Personally, I think marriage is obsolete, but it still has a huge following.)

With modern defenses against disease and pregnancy, and easy proof of paternity, shouldn't some of our old ideas be retired?
