THIS SALE IS FOR DICK FOOSE (left) A3SD WIFE, SHIRLEY NEW in ballet Five Over Thirteen Rock ballet offers freedom, former Edmontonian says On sex education I had a call the other day from a woman who wished to voice her protest against the column For Women Only now being carried in the pages of the Family section.

She was particularly unhappy about the columns dealing with questions about sexual matters sent in by women. She felt these should not be discussed in public, should not be open to the eyes of teen-agers and constitute an invasion into the privacy of marriage. She and her husband, who is a doctor, agree that there are certain subjects pertaining to sex that belong only within the marriage relationship. And that if a problem does arise the person to talk to about it is the doctor rather than thrashing it out in public. I had the feeling that I was called about this because columns which I've written deploring the over-emphasis on sex for exploitive purposes in our society may have led her to some wrong conclusions about my views.

Against dehumanizing sex When we dehumanize sex by using it to sell deodorants when it's sensationalized to appeal to the "peep-show" mentality when it's made boring as it is when exploited as some-tliing separate from other human relationships, then I protest. But let me elaborate here on some of my other replies to this reader. She felt unhappy about such question-and-answer columns destroying the "mystery" in sex. And that people seemed to work tilings out very well in a day when such frankness was not permitted. First, I'd suggest that the veil between mystery and ignorance can often be very thin.

And it's obvious from the type of questions asked by women many of whom have been married for many years that lack of factual knowledge and the inability over those years to talk about such subjects to anyone has posed problems that have often resulted in their secret conviction that they were in some way abnormal. I also don't think we can go on the assumption that because problems of this kind weren't aired in an earlier day that they didn't exist and that most people once the marriage ceremony was performed managed by good luck to work things out to the equal satisfaction of both. Doctors can't always help The suggestion that the doctor is the one to take such problems to is only infrequently the answer. For many women anonymity is still an important factor. In addition, the traditional nature of medical training leaves many doctors clinging to the same myths that so much of the rest of society holds.

Besides many people in this day and age just don't have that kind of relationship with their doctors. To be sure there are some notable exceptions to this right in our own community. But they are the exceptions. There is an advantage too in that women who become unhappy enough or worried enough to take the trouble to write soon discover that others share their problems or questions and there's a certain comfort in that. As for the view that such questions will be solved after marriage and should not come up for consideration outside the married state, perhaps that's putting a little too much stock in the "magic" of marriage.

"The live-happily-ever-after" dream sometimes comes true. I would gather that several important factors in this particular woman's life have made it so in her case. But surely the possibilities are greater for more people if there's greater understanding and knowlelge of individual needs including the sexual nature of the female stripped of all the generalities and mvths that have been accepted for centuries. Techniques, not humanity Although she didn't say it in so many words, I believe this reader is concerned that the discussion of these subjects in pub ic is inclined to put too much emphasis on techniques rather than on humanity. I believe this is where her fears lie in regard to young people.

fd be inclined to share this concern. There's also the change that limitations of make it necessary to give oversimplified answers to complex questions. But I worry much more about the effect on our society including the young of the brutalizing of sex through' lurid bock jackets, motion picture ads and other promotion gimmicks based on making it a depersonalized act than he discussion of real human dilemmas in a question-and-answer column.
