From Cory Silverberg, your Guide to Sexuality
Last Sunday the New York Times ran a 3.500 word article, titled A Girl's Nude Photo, and Altered Lives, which was a mostly un-hysterical consideration of some of the legal and social ramifications of teenagers sending naked pictures of themselves, or each other, to each other. The word shame appeared once. I can't think of a better example of how shame works, and while you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't experience some shame around their sexuality, you will be equally challenged in finding people willing to talk openly about it in public. ~ Cory
