It is quite interesting to see 2 so well spoken and erudite ladies dispute
this theme and I hesitate to jump in. But still, I do jump in.

It is difficult to discuss sexuality and sensual or not and erotic or not
feelings in a society where sexuality is put under 12 sets of magnifying
glasses. In such a society sexuality cs are jumping up and down between sin
and extasion, between the worse and the best people can have. It is exhibited
broadly, but forbidden to look at let alone practice it out of some very
restricted circumstances. It is the stick that has beaten zillions of women
throughout history into a form of slavery and did kings and presidents fall
off their ivory towers. It keeps the world running and prevents people from
fully exploring their gifts and possibilities.
Sexuality has in my view to do less with biology than with psycholgy and
socology.
Sex, in fact, is just one of those things you do, like eating, breathing,
talking, walking and breastfeeding. Often indifferent, other times very
joyfull and sometimes very painfull.

Warmly greeting,

Gonneke
