In Poland it is very rude to ask woman how ols she is.

With regard to sex, we are rather promiscuous in this sphere of life (at least my generation is). We have no problem with talking about it if asked.

In Thailand if this  question ask before now 3-4 years maybe my answer is about sex  but in this time I think it should be the politic topic   because of  politic problem in my country set people have been to  2 side and very differencs in opinion    ..  we don't talk about this in office , public place or maybe in family too  if other in family be in opposite side . so if someone ask about this issue it made people uncomfortable

To consider religion a taboo subject but sex as something normal is quite against nature! look at those who practise their religion how  proud they are when they are about it,and look at those who are having sex how they seek privacy and anxious not be seen.

Nature Vs. Nurture? Surely all of that is actually cultural. Actually, some of us are perfectly proud of our sexuality, thank you. Rather, it's the antics of the religious extremists that often make one squeamish nowadays.

I consider neither subject taboo but I feel sorry for anyone who thinks sex isn't normal. Every time they go to bed with someone they think: "Damn it! Again I have to put up with this abnormalcy!"


Everyone in a society like that is the result of abnormal action. (No wonder I consider so many exotic people a little weird!)

I didnt say sex is against nature in itself, but it is socially unacceptable to become a public activity as eating , drinking........ or  practising your relgion.

No, actually this is what you said:

"To consider religion a taboo subject but sex as something normal is quite against nature!"


To consider sex as something normal is (quite) against nature (in itself).

I would omit the words in parentheses as they sound a little unnatural and unnecessary to me. However, they add nothing important to the meaning of the sentence. What you said is: to consider sex [as something] normal is against nature.

Actually, what he said was: "To consider religion a taboo subject but sex as something normal is quite against nature!" So, what he deems so unnatural, is a conjunction of two distinct conditions/attitudes.

You are right, but I'm not sure he meant what he said!
