Lack of discussion stigmatizes sexuality
It would be no novelty to discuss the complacency and apathy of young people toward many issues, from presidential politics to environmentalism to community service. But in no other domain have I experienced such denial and insularity as with the topic of sexuality.Too often, an interest in a sexual topic leads to certain assumptions about one's immorality or sexual experience, when sexuality is instead something that we should all publicly embrace. Rather than stifling interests in such a forbidden yet compelling realm, we should release this misconstrued Pandora's box of sinful temptations and allow ourselves to explore freely and openly, in the way that it is meant to be.
