Introduction: Sexuality Matters

Published on 1 October 2006

I work a lot on issues of sexuality and sexual rights. And every time I mention that in the context of India, I am told that the community is not ready for it, in a country where poverty is so high why do we need to talk of sexuality; this is a western notion and I am English speaking and that is why I have all these ideas.

Frankly everyone has sex, or wants to have sex, or is moaning the lack of it, so shouldn’t we be talking about it? (Menon 2006)
