But back to the first point. Ever since people discovered it was fun to have sex and then other people told them they shouldn’t do it in public, they’ve been finding places to do it and re-inventing ways of doing it. yes, the karma sutra (and other such ancient texts) describe just about everything you can do in bed (and some that require other props), but not everyone has read all of them, and sometimes it’s fun to re-invent the wheel(barrow position).

If there’s a single word for “the place people go to shit” that’s not a euphemism, I don’t know what it is. (Some people suggest “crapper” but that’s disputed; I’ve also heard “shitter” but I’d consider that somewhat non-standard, or even a jocular usage.) For best clarity, all we can do is use the older euphemisms that have lost most of their obfuscating quality. “Bathroom” certainly has not, yet.

Indeed. Remember 1960’s-era Astrological Sign Sexual Position posters? (if you say yes, we’re old enough to really discuss…)

There was a time when I truly believed my (our?) generation had actually invented those creative moves. I suspect that kids in every generation believe they’ve contributed something new and different to the human zoo. If there had been an Internet in 1969, guess who would’ve been naked web-camming on it? Did Generation X invent this new past-time? They’ll swear they did. What counter-arguments can we offer? Polaroid cameras! It’s all about availability.
