Sex: How taboo do you think it should be?

Pretty much. Sex itself and talking about sex shouldn't be taboo.
My parents have probably never talked to me about sex, yet me and my friends talk have talk about sex all the time, although plenty of times it's under the context of jokes, sometimes it isn't.
Like me, I actually told the girl(for some reason, there's a hot girl that always hangs around us 3 or 4 guys) that she should give someone a blowjob. Everyone burst out laughing.
Sex is an act of nature. Evolution basically made it so that sex would feel better, as so to catalyze reproduction. You can't really stop it from happening, it exists, everyone knows it exist, it's pointless to hide it.
Look one funny family guy clip: "British porn."

An infection is an illness or whatever that is caused by BACTERIA (or germs).
An infection can be a disease but a disease is not necessarily an infection - it can be viral, or... other stuff.
So an STI is caused by bacteria (like a cold) and an STD is not! (Like the flu).

Actually both of you are right, STDs are viral based and STI's are bacterial based, however because virus change their antibodies often they are uneasy to treat, hence STD's stay with you, while the bacterial causitive agents in STI's can be easily treated and removed with antibiotics!
Look up chlamydia on Wikipedia, which by the way is an STI Dissonance is right.
I had exame about all those diseases today :huh:
Boring as hell knowing it can all be prevented by condom ..
I'd say its better not to make it a taboo els nobody knows about such diseases and Syfilles isn't something to laugh with , neither is HIV(Human-immumino-difficiency virus) and AIDS (Aquired immumino-difficiency syndrom) :dead:

condoms reduce the chances of catching a disease through intercourse. they don't eliminate risk. same with pregnancy.
and some viruses (like HIV) are small enough to squeeze through the semi-permeable membrane of the average condom, meaning that the risk with those is higher.

I don't think it is too taboo. There are plenty of public notices about sexual diseases. Some people do not think it will happen to them. Some people just think it is better to not to use a condom for the feeling.

Taboo enough to have our kids not running around having sex all the time but not taboo enough to make you feel uncomfortable. Hard to explain.

<<condoms are 100% effective as long as they dont break.>>
No.
Condoms have theoretically a fail rate of about 0.05 %, but pracitcally they have a fail rate of about 12 % (seen world-wide) as most people use them wrong. (eg. Put on the condom to late; do not change the condom after orgasm/ejaculating; in some poor countries they even use the same condom for a Week or so (!!!) )
Chastity until mariage still is the safest way ...
(I will wait ...)

marriage defines nothing. just because you're married doesn't mean you're ready to have children. and it doesn't mean you're in a magic bubble which denies your partner (or you!) from ever committing adultery. and it's not a pass/fail exam on virginity (you can marry someone who's had all kinds of partners you don't know about).
the more accurate idea of safety in regards to STDs is to maintain a monogamous relationship, or as monogamous as possible. but even then, you or your partner can be as well-traveled as a railcar hobo's suitcase, so long as you are both STD-free.
the more accurate idea of safety in regards to pregnancy is to wait until you're literally able to support a child. (steady relationship, steady income, mentally/emotionally prepared). it's easy for youths to assume that marriage will come when those prerequisites are met, but as someone who's already been married and separated, I can assure you that at no point during it was I prepared for kids!)
neither are foolproof so that's where protection comes in.

That's a slightly warped sense of logic. You're suggesting that once you're married you're immune to STDs, and that you're ready for children? Like Venetia pointed out, marriage isn't like that at all. In no way does saying a few vows mean you're in a perfectly stable relationship and instantly mature enough to raise children. And those rings you equip on each other's fingers are not enchanted with a +10 resistance to STDs either.
Surely chastity until marriage is kinda boring too? You're going to miss out on a lot of fun at school and college, and i'm pretty sure that sex brings you closer to your partner. There's a lot of love involved! Besides, imagine the first night of the honeymoon for a couple that have 'saved their bodies' for marriage: It'll be incredibly painful for the girl, but fortunately for her it'll also be over in 30 seconds flat. Once she's ready for more she may even get frustrated by her partner's lack of experience... and maaaaybeeeee I have a case here for religious vows of chastity inadvertently causing a lot of divorces? Who knows...

This may seem silly but it caught my eye; is a woman (or a man, really) who has had only one sexual partner in any position to get frustrated by their partners lack of experience? I mean, really. What a dick move.

Yes. Is it really that hard for you to comprehend? Especially with the effect the porn industry has had on sex. A lot of people expect sex to be a myriad of different positions and experiences. It's also common knowledge that some people have a much larger sexual appetite than others, hence 'sexual compatibility' being so important in a relationship. You'll never know how you feel about sex until you've experienced it, so of course people could get sexually frustrated after their first few times with a partner. They could be completely different.
It's not like a levelling system, with the more experienced people being on the same wavelengths. Just because a couple have no experience, doesn't mean they'll develop it in the same ways.

No shit, but I'm not talking about a complete mismatch in terms of sexual compatability. I'm talking about more along the lines of the type of mentality that you mentioned with porn, an unrealistic standard where people expect sex with a new partner to be some crazy ass shit from jump street, instead of a slow evolution of experiences.
Yeah, it would be crazy for a woman to demand of her partner "You've screwed up the Cleveland Steamer for the last time, I'm outta here!" when they've both started having sex with each other, or having sex at all.

Never hush hush for me either... couldn't get her to stop screaming.
Okay... I couldn't resist...
I think sex should be talked about more actively... atleast in my household, this was how it was done. People put a Taboo on sex, but it doesn't halt the hormones... now when teenagers fuck up, they hide about it instead of going to the people who should be giving them the right answers about sex... and by right answers I don't mean: "IF YOU HAVE SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE YOUR GONNA GO TO HELL!!!"

I agree. However I don't really see a lot of parents like this anymore. Still though, it seems to be an awkward subject that many people skip over. Especially for women, which shouldn't be the case, considering they have to shoulder what's more or less the biggest consequence of sex, pregnancy.
