Clicked for the picture, stayed for the article. I lived in the Philippines for years, so I get where you're coming from.

Why do you think if a woman wears sexy outfits with the intention of giving sexual pleasure to the men around her, she is selling herself short?

People give pleasure to each other all the time in various forms - sharing food, good conversation, hugs and physical gestures - and most of the time it is seen as a gift. Just not when it causes arousal.

Our society has a inherent bias against sexuality. It's just an act you can do with your body, and a pretty amazing one at that.

But we are taught from a young age that sex is bad, by our parents, teachers and priests. It's all fear-based nonsense, and I think it's time to let go of these negative attitudes toward sex.
