Liz Smith Has No Sex to Gossip About

No one because I really no longer bother to have one and I remember my sex life as more emotional than sexy anyway, so how interesting is that. I have better fish to fry than sexual satisfaction and if you live long enough … believe it or not, you will have, too. I’m still flirting but that’s about it. Flirting is a really fun way to make one’s way in the world.

If I felt like sharing details of my sex life it would be with someone who already knows — my husband.

I agree with Joan.  Unless you think your partner is asking you to do something sick and you are uncomfortable then your sex life should be between you and your partner.  Well that is until you break up permanently, then you need the solice of your friends to say that person didn’t deserve you and the sex was crappy too.

Share the details of my love life? The one that is now enveloped in a golden, misty haze of reminiscence? The one that while it was raging, caused me to swing like a monkey through the rainforest canopy of love and desire from highest treetop to muddy forest floor? That love life?

Not nobody, not nohow, folks! Except the thirty-five volumes of my journal, of course.

Dear dear Susan … You are fun, you are amazing, you tantalize … and you have us begging to read all 35 beautifully written volumes of your journal where - I am sure - the heat still rises … or so we would like to think!!!  YOU had it all — and we will remember that!  Joan

Now that I am "older" (64) I share my sex life with no one.  But oh when I was younger and single……friends would sit around the kitchen table and we would tell ALL about our wonderful zany wild sex lives.  Every detail, size, shapes…..you name it!!

My best friend is a sex therapist, so sometimes she holds a female sexuality workshop for women only and we sit around and talk about various aspects of sex…very interesting to learn from a group of women.

I have to admit that my best girl and I share, but not the complete intimate details.

No one. My sex life is only between my husband and me. No one else needs to know what goes on between us.

The intimate life between me and my husband is fun, sexy and special, why would I ruin it by letting other people in on the secret? 

I do find it a bit funny though, nearly everyone here says nobody, no way, and yet those reality TV shows and those supermarket tabloids detailing everyone else’s sex lives certainly remain popular.  What’s with this double standard of "I want to be private, but I can’t wait to peep in on someone else?  I know my mom always raised us to believe that not only is my business my own, but your business is none of mine as well…
