Not long ago, Susan G. Komen 's sister, Nancy Brinker, was Oprah. spoke of the foundation began consciously to breast cancer, the research for the cure, and more after his sister, Susan, was diagnosed with and died of breast cancer 25 years Aug. While discussing what you learned and impact your organization has made towards research and finding a cure for breast cancer, I was struck by a statement:  "In then, could not even say the word breast. "

Even if we can flash into a bumper sticker I saw recently with a large pink ribbon and Save the Tata! " stamped on it, the fact is that many young people and adults of all ages is difficult to use the proper names of the parts of their bodies If sexuality. associated with a woman that I attended, a physician known in the reproductive sphere presented to the group about changes in sexuality because of the aging. Although the talk was very informative, people told me about his troubles at the hearing of the word "vulva" while eating lunch.Â

We seem to live in a culture that simultaneously offers what some call soft porn on TV through music videos and shows as "Girls Gone Wild," while at the same time raising children than in adults laugh or turn red when the word "penis" is said in loud. And as much as I like Gray's Anatomy, I hope that women go to their doctors and talk openly about any concerns they have with their vaginas, do not pronounce the word va-jay-jay.Â

Why are these words more embarrassing or awkward to use words like "shoulder" or "knee" or "feet"? In all parts of our body have a function, and to determine that some of the biological terms are beyond the limits is a product of lack of education and tolerance in our culture around real sexuality. I'm not talking about unrealistic things in the music video stations and television programs like the one I mentioned above-the unreasonable sexuality. representations of every day I'm talking about real issues and real problems of our youth and young adults (and even middle-aged and older adults) have about their sexuality. When the issue carries a stigma, people are more likely to see less reliable sources such as peer groups and the Internet, up from educators, doctors, or other experts in the field. And that's dangerous.

There is nothing inherently immoral in the breasts or vulva, or who have penises. biological purposes of creating and nurturing life, and the elimination waste. The largest sex organ in our body remains our brain, and what we do with them to improve or to the detriment of our sexuality in healthy ways.

Passionately Pink Besides campaigns to raise funds and awareness about breast cancer, take the time to think about what words you use when you need the name of a body part related to sexuality, and the words they are teaching their children to use. find ways to increase their comfort with the topic, so you can be appeal made to their children, parents, friends, and someone self. of life may depend on it.
