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.

In recent conversation with friends of my age, one of them mentioned how much better her sex life could have been if she were able to actually talk about sex with the men she was having it with. Of course, an embarrassed silence followed by speedy subject change happened.

Americans, despite having a much more puritanical & neurotic attitude towards sex much more common among them seem to talk about it much more openly. Europeans tend to be much less neurotic but equally open. It's just us & the Irish who find frankness appalling. Antipodeans?

And yet we have a whole comedy culture built around toilet humour, double entendres and farces which always seem to include a hilarious incident involving bloomers falling down. Very strange indeed.
