Nowadays we talk about sex incessantly -- yet we still lack a
comfortable language in which to do so. The 'polite' vocabularies
of religion, medicine, law and sociology are too formal,
value-laden and often simply boring, whilst the vernacular
Anglo-Saxon words are regarded by some as 'obscene', and are
frequently used by others in an aggressively negative, sex-hating
way. Antony Grey criticizes the various rhetorics of sexual
discussion, and points at the ways in which language often becomes
a stumbling-block to mutual understanding and happiness. He calls
for a thorough overhaul of sexual discourse, to pave the way for
greater realism.
