Is it possible to talk about sex with giggling or making jokes? [Serious question] ---

For those of us who have finished high school, yes. ---

For those of us in our 70s, yes. It’s even possible to talk about sex nostalgically (or so I’ve been told). ---

Not giggling is easy but I must admit to throwing in the odd joke now and then. But since I also throw the odd joke in now and then at funerals I figure its just consistent with my personality. ---

Of course it is. What kinds of conversations are you talking about? ---

My wife and I had a lobg discussion about sex just last weekend. We got a bit nostalgic about the first times we were together. We talked about our current sex life (what we want, what we don’t want) and how to improve it. It was many times arousing, sometimes serious, but never giggling or joking. ---

Pointing and laughing is required. ---

We laugh about sex all the time… _with_ it, not _at_ it. ---
