What I tried to do in my sex-advice column is simply this: tell it like it is, and never sweep the “nasty” bits under the carpet. Sex is only dirty to those with dirty minds. Although sex came out of the closet with the pill in the ’60s, the act of talking openly about it still remained taboo. As a sex advocate, my mission is to encourage people to dins a depth of pleasure in sex through honest education, which until the early ’70s hadn’t existed. My approach was new because I discussed all those things that we do but don’t dare talk about.
