Let’s talk about sex, woman!

Written By Unknown on Senin, 02 Februari 2015 | 18.47

At the Times LitFest held in Bengaluru over the weekend, one of the many things we need to raise a toast to was the number of influential women taking a stand about the biggest existential topic that is taboo in our society — sex.

Especially so, since it is women who are almost always forced to adhere to a stereotype, as even mentioning the word sex will probably get her the label of a slut. Here's raising that toast to some quotable 'traditionally shocking' quotes that came up at the fest.

Sixty percent of erotic literature is written from a man's point of view. In fact, when the act is referred from a man's point of view, it is called 'sex', but from a woman's point of view, it is 'making love'. Our society is still repressed in many ways. Even though our films present intimacy and sex, they only ridicule it. And while our families dance to songs such as Gandi Baat, we have a problem discussing the general idea of sex at the dining table.

Our Indian culture states that a woman needs to protect her virginity till marriage because it has to be 'special,' which, honestly, the first time isn't. And what is so special about it that we are expected to hold on to it ever so dearly?

— Radhika Vaz, comedian

The language of sex is very sexist. While a woman is written about as someone who gives herself, the man is said to 'take a woman'. When a woman has an extra-marital affair or a one-night stand, she is called a slut, but when a man does the same, he's referred to as a stud.
