Hum? My parents where fairly open with talking about sex. (They are not Christians) However I know they expected me to wait until I was married, even when they clearly had not. As a teenager it seemed like a subject you only talked about with your close friends. However if you were a Christain and struggling with tempation you certainly could not talk to anyone about it with the fear of judgement. As a new wife it was strange to talk openly about sex with my husband. I was still concerned about the judgement I would recieve from him. However it has been almost 12 years now and I have decided that it is a topic that is fun and exciting to talk about with him.
As far as mixed company goes, I think different people feel more comfortable then others. I would say generally sex is best dicussed in same gender groups. This can help avoid uncomfortable conversations. I also feel that sex is something special that God created for a husband and wife to enjoy and certain details should remain secret. I would like to see the "dirty" aspect taken away from sex. I have three children and I want them to understand what a beautiful gift God was given us. I feel that many wifes struggle with sex because of this "dirty" factor. If we as parents can take that out perhaps there will be more happy husbands :)
