What's wrong with safe satisfying sex?

Image...
Last Friday I had to deliver a lecture on an assigned topic, “gender sensitivity, sexuality and sexual rights.” I was feeling uncomfortable about the title, which seemed boring and staid, so I did a quick change. I had a good feeling seeing the new title, projected on the billboard-sized screen of the Philippine International Convention Center: “What’s wrong with safe and satisfying sex?”

The title takes off from sexual rights that have been proposed. These include “choice of partner,” “consensual sex,” “respect for bodily integrity” and others which I brought out in the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS) lecture. The last of the 10 sexual rights was “safe, satisfying and pleasurable sexual life.”

These sexual rights are controversial. The mere concept of sexual rights itself is rejected by many, especially those who feel sex should be only for reproduction. The idea that it might be pleasurable is seen almost as dirty and repulsive
