Being in contact with people all over the world makes me realise just how weird the British are in so many ways. Our attitude towards sex is one of those ways. It is prudish but not in a puritanical way. We're fine having the sex. Awful at talking about the sex.

It's just an "English thing" that some topics are taboo. In middle class circles particularly to zip lip. No sex. No politics. No religion on your sleeve. But the WEATHER ? Oooh ...now there's something that's really worth a chat about
