Whenever one gender is gathered in my name you will chat about...

Today my mind dug up a random memory from college.

Once a year (?) the evening discussion divided into male/female and, while sitting around a fire, a guy uttered the fateful question...

"So... I guess we have to talk about porn eh?"

Inevitably, whenever Christian groups are split along gender lines, their discussion must wander down two paths.

Only have a bunch of blokes? Chat about porn and masturbation.
And for the ladies? Have a frank conversation about body image and the appropriateness of wearing a bikini.

I don't want to send the message that these subjects aren't important or that they shouldn't be appropriately discussed (chatting about them in a mono-gender setting is certainly beneficial), but it is a curious thing that we sometimes feel we MUST talk about these topics.
