Speaking of Topics

One asked why most people frown when a topic on sex is brought up. No any particular reasons why really, but people just don’t usually start a conversation as private as this, unless they are quite close with this person. Imagine one stranger come up to us and starts talking about scandals and sexuality, bet most of us would go like “What is wrong with this guy? He’s such a pervert.” And of course, certain people do not mind when this actually happens, probably due to the reason that they are way open-minded than we do, we never know. There are several skills when it comes to speaking and delivering messages, and sometimes, saying what we are actually seeing or feeling not necessary would do us good, as it might offend the others, with or without knowing, intentionally or unintentionally. Times where topics such as “Look at the fats she has got! Oh my, it’s horrible.” “If there is no sex, there will be no you.” “Any idea what fellatio means?” are raised may be awkward, as not many able to react, or do not know how to, and that, is the time where skills are needed, to make the situation better. We choose the topics when it comes to communicating, not the topics choose us.
