Think about it. Which adults were you around before you came here? Your dad, your grandparents and your teachers probably. And they didn't talk about their sex lives because they either felt uncomfortable, or didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable.

But here, it's different. We're living in a place with a bunch of adults who don't care about making us uncomfortable by talking about stuff in public we might not have been exposed to before. They probably think it's educational or some such bull. They're also young, relatively speaking, for the most part (20s-30s) and in pretty peak physical conditioning, if what I've seen in the gym is anything to go by. They're bound to need another outlet for all that energy.

But it's nothing new. From mid-teens on, if the sex drive kicks in, apparently that's all anyone thinks about. Just some people have better manners than to yank other people into their business by talking about it in kid's journals.

(and for the record, it's definitely nothing new to me. Military types aren't exactly delicate, even with their CO tells them to watch the smut talk in front of his kid)
