Interesting read...
Sexuality is such a hush hush issue in America.  Do we have religion to blame for that?

I think the (american I presume) society is to blame really, seeing other countries much more open about sexuality. Having so many different cultures in the same areas someone is bound to be offended over something, leading to our over sensitive society.

Na, I blame god.
A lot of women I've dated used childish names for sex organs...it's that deeply rooted.  Penis becomes "thingy", vagina or pussy becomes "down there"...etc.  It's unfortunate that we've been feared into thinking sexuality is negative.

I'll admit, I used the same exact words for describing genitalia. Depending on who you're around (it can make saying penis and vagina very awkward) I suppose I blame not using the correct words more on feeling awkward than the religion I grew up in. But yes, the suppression of sexuality can be blamed on religion. :|

Religion is the cause of that awkwardness.

lol Oh man, that's good stuff.  I hardly call my self 'repressed' but making a thesis about your sexual adventures?!?!  That takes guts.  Doesn't everyone know by now that nothing you send via email is safe?

And yes I think religion (and culture, which is frequently shaped by the dominant religion) is to blame for much sexual repression.
