WHATEVER your view on sex is, the fact remains it's recently been stripped of its cloak and dagger mystery. Where men once bragged of the number of notches on their bed-posts, women now don't see sex as a 'chop and wipe mouth' phenomenon. They see it as of right - they want it, if it's available, they take as much as they want. No guilt. Just emotional satisfaction. Ini and I were at Lilians recently and, naturally the banter skirted around sex. Lilian's cousin Betty's 'problem' came up for serious consideration. According to Lilian, Betty believes her body was made for sex!
