There was a cover story in either Time or Newsweek not real long ago that said
something like "Not Tonight Honey". It was about sex in American marriages and
how, contrary to popular belief, Americans aren't having very much sex in
marriage. They touched on psychological reasons and their adverse impact on
sexuality. I couldn't find it in archives, and they charge anyway.

This intrigues me. I'd like opinions re. why this trend in Japan (John?) and
such an opposite trend (if in its extreme form it can be called merely a
"trend") in the U.S. I am increasingly faced with the sex-ing of life here.
My
12 year old 6th grader tells me the 7th grade girls talk routinely about giving
blow jobs, she's shown video in "health class" showing computer animated
shots of ejaculation from the inside of the penis, my 10 year old shops with me
for clothes and can only find tighter than tight belly shirts and extreme
hip-huggers. Her size (and she's tiny for her age) clothing is often stamped
with
printing on the rear-end saying things like "no way no how" or "in your
dreams". Little girls emulate Brittany Spears. Advertisements for women's
lingerie
would have met porn standards a decade ago. Is it that Japan has never had a
Woodstock, a total sexual rebellion? It can't be that simple.
