Ohhh dear @tibaire you have put up such bold questions for the @Ladiesofhive community contest - Ladies of Hive Community Contest #137 for this week
1οΈβ£Do you think that in these times it is still a taboo to talk about female sexual pleasure? What do you know about your clitoris? Do you feel that you have full control over your sexual pleasure or do you simply leave the job to your partner? πππ / ππ ~2οΈβ£ Water is Life and it is also a non-renewable resource. There are countries where access to water is very limited, while in other countries, water is wasted. Tell us how aware you are of this future problem (water scarcity) and how you manage this valuable resource.
My focus is going to be on the second question but I am also going to address the first one in brief.
I do not believe at all that talking about our sexual pleasure is anything of a taboo. It is a natural process for all of us humans and why should we shy away talking about it. But I believe that it is also one's comfort level if they want to address their personal matters in public and hence if one does it out of choice to not reveal their sexual life in public then it's completely accepted. I personally would not mind it sharing with my close friends and talk about it with people who I feel comfortable with, but I would not want to put it out in public with all due respects to everyone.
Coming to the 2nd one.
Travelling to different parts of the world I have observed one thing, which is how water is valued in different ways in different parts. Like in Middle East they say that oil is cheaper than water. In Europe if we travel, we will get a can of Beer cheaper than a bottle of water. Which makes water surely a valuable resource.
Back home in India, right now I am building a new home which is away from the city and cut off from many supplies. With great difficulty we managed to get electricity, but water is still an issue. For the construction work water is regularly required and there is limited supply of government water. Finally, we managed to get hold of a local villager who has a water well and he agreed to supply us water with a charge. He charges us around 12k which is equivalent to 145 USD for a month. So, you can imagine how expensive it is.
Thinking of the longer run, we wanted to come out with some practical solutions to tackle the water problem and hence we got a big water tank planned up in the project. Work is all in progress. But now to keep that tank also filled up there has to be a source. While we rely on some of the external sources, we also thought of being self-sufficient as much as we can. We planned to do the rain water harvesting. This place has a good amount of rainfall for 4 to 5 months, and in these months we plan to optimize and harvest the rain water to use it for the remaining part of the year. It's one of the ways to use the natural resource at the best capacity.
To think of it, yes there can be a day when we may have major water crises, even in the places where it is in abundance right now, because the way we are depleting all our natural resources it may not take very long to face this day. We have to be sensible for the usage of water by being mindful as much as possible in the day-to-day consumption. We need to find ou t ways to conserve water, especially in the areas where there is abundant rainfall.
To be very true and honest, I have never been an extremely mindful person when it comes to water usage. But I try as much as possible to not waste it by just doing some little things like not keeping the tap open unnecessarily when I am not using it. For e.g., while brushing, so carelessly sometimes we keep the tap open, not realizing we are not using it. Lengthy shower periods, I try to be mindful of that and come out of the bathroom soon. Just like that, some simple home ways of being mindful and not wasting water are what I try.
I no way would want to see my Blue Planet turning into a Brown Planet.
