Sexuality is hardly taboo in the 21st century. Teenagers talk about it openly at school. Researchers look into it widely in studies. Reality shows use it frequently to lure more viewers.
When did casual discussion of sex-related topics become another routine part of our daily lives? I think it's sad.
To start with, 'sexting' - sending texts of a sexual nature - is reportedly rampant among teens.
Teens are also far more willing to discuss sensitive issues online and many don't think much of sending nude pictures of themselves to others.
Clearly, moral attitudes have changed a lot in the West since the Victorian era.
Hollywood movies like American Pie and teen dramas like The Vampire Diaries show characters having or seeking pre-marital or casual sex. These activities are portrayed as normal, or even desirable.
Tabloid gossip about celebrities dating different people or showing up in public scantily dressed is also very common.
