Jennifer, we grew up in 1960's and 70's Ireland, where talking about sex brought red faces and giggles. Think of any reading where sex is explicit or nodded towards? The behind the hands embarrassment and cringe is akin to watching Nine and a Half Weeks with your mother. An author once told us in class that effectively the only thing worse than bad sex is someone writing about it. I suppose bad sex should be defined as consensual and between two adults, but uninspired and cold in it's execution. Fair dues to you, completing your task over Christmas!!
Thanks so much, Johnny! Yes, people of our generation were given more hang-ups than a call centre, sex being top of the list. There was certainly no sexuality, or variance in one's sexual diet, because sex was purely for the purposes of procreation within the sanctity of the marriage bed. What went on behind closed bedroom doors is another story, of course.
