You might think your countrywomen are different. But women are
women, whether you meet them in the U.S., Jordan, India, or Saudi
Arabia.
Some years ago – never mind how long precisely – a 9th-grade biology
book fell into my hands. With my limited reading ability and
understanding, combined with my weird curiosity, I skimmed through its
pages. I discovered the nervous system, cardiovascular system,
lymphatic system... and then the reproductive system.
It was shocking
to first learn about the weird things we do in order to produce little
people in such detailed, clinical fashion. What is even more shocking
was to realize that in my (at the time) few years on this Earth, I had
not once stopped to wonder where babies came from. I saw them popping
up here and there all the time, seemingly out of nowhere, and that did
not bother me at all!
Because I was so unfamiliar with sex, the entire act was a mystery
to me. Almost mystical to me. Babies seemed to just spontaneously pop
out of nowhere; I could not imagine a man and a woman undressing and
doing what men and women do to make babies.
Even after my big realization, the “kids popping out of nowhere”
theory still made more sense to me than the reality of two people
getting all naked and going at it. My culture was too strict, imposing
too many complications, too many taboos to actually allow such a thing
to ever happen. The picture of an innocent couple all naked and banging
was too farfetched to actualize. Not surprisingly, I adopted the
mentality that maybe the girls in my country are just different!
Since coming to this realization many years ago, I have learned the
truths about human sexuality. And I have learned that there is so much
sex happening everywhere. Yes, EVERYWHERE! In fact, the amount of sex
that happens everywhere happens on a much higher frequency than the
number of babies popping out. And much of this sex that happens
everywhere is instigated by women – everywhere. The things I’ve learned
by personal experience have completely changed my paradigm.
