I’m not sure where I saw it, but it doesn’t matter — almost every magazine article about having better sex makes a statement like this.

Connecting with others and discovering that each of us is special and normal at the same time — no matter how freaky we thought we were — has brought healthy sex talk into the open all around the world, not just in America.

But sex should be in the forefront of our conversations these days, as erotic entertainment has been attacked yet again by well-connected zealots bent on destroying the adult industry through censorship, unfair regulation and exposing performers to danger.
