Put What Where? (24 page)

Already some commentators think our obsession with lovemaking has gone beyond all control (though haven’t they always?) Sexual-health researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have warned in the
British Medical Journal
that, ‘Until relatively recently, the imperative was for restraint and moderation in sexual matters; now it is for more and better sexual
gratification. Celibacy is the new deviance. The irony is that we may be moving away from diversity towards greater uniformity. By encouraging women to look like
Playboy
centrefolds and men to seek priapic perfection, we may be furthering what has been termed the tyranny of genital sexuality.’

Genital tyranny. Could this be the next great sexual scare? Watch out.
