As a society, have we gone to far with sex? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 16751426 United States 07/17/2012 02:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe so. It does seem like there isn't as much genuine love existing these days..... Everyone has their own hidden agendas when it comes to interaction now... Whether it be for the pleasure, money, or social status.. We're so shallow. I think love is important. I hope that everyone someday may be able to feel unconditional love, cause it's honestly great. |

And I don't mean just the fact that half the internet is porn or all the people going to the bars and trying to get laid.... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14093935 What I mean is, have we, as a society, damaged our culture sexually? Sex isn't used for it's natural purposes anymore: The cosmetics industry works because lipstick and blush mimic the flushed sexual response of increased blood flow during sexual arousal, therefore the subconscious mind responds on a sexual level, therefore creating a false sexual connection/attraction where there is none naturally. Beer gets sold because theres a hot girl in the ad, therefore your mind anchors beer to sex, and the next time you buy a beer, your sex drive prompts you to want the beer you saw in the ad. Sex is promoted everywhere to the masses at all times...its inescapeable. People now shop for dates on dating sites like they used to shop a sears catalogue. People go practically naked on the beach, cities flaunt gay pride parades...I even read a thread on here that sears now sells books about beastiality. The dovorce rate is over 50%, abortion and ilegitamate children are rampant, and the traditional family is disintegrating. Kids are raised now not by a dad and a mom but by televisions, the internet, state institutions like schools, or the streets. We have a generation that in my opinion has lost the gift of experiencing love and sex in a single bond. Sex has become a tool, a method of power, a way to get things...not a vehicle for the expression of love...in far too many peoples lives now. You cant have love if you cant have trust and intimacy. How can you have trust and intimacy if you or your partner's sexual responses are falsified or are manipulate daily? ...Perhaps thats the real reason there are so many unhappy marriages now and so much divorce? Maybe its because we have all been rewired sexually by the culture around us? Hell, most people on here probably spend more time having intercourse with a computer than they do a live human being. We've become a society of lusters, not lovers. I think we may have lost something special and sacred in the process.... I think you are right. It's late and I was just about to go to bed so I can't input much of a response right now but it's very refreshing to see that someone else out there gets it. I've felt the same way you do for a long time but most people I come across just don't grasp that and resort to calling names like prude. People are so blind and misguided these days. Also, sex has lost a mystique/reverence it once had and I can imagine that many partnerships suffer because of it. They just don't know it because they never knew any different I guess. |

If you roll it back to Lollard Christians in the late 1300s you'll see the same complaints about sex and abortion.. Their 12 conclusions where presented to parliament and nailed to St Pauls Cross.. The Eleventh Conclusion is pretty much an anti-abortion citing it as the most horrible sin. [link to www.courses.fas.harvard.edu] (if you read through, you'll also see they are anti-war, 10th conclusion :) ) If you roll it back further, Pelagian Christians made the same comments about Rome in 400s.. And roll it back further the same comments where made about Sodom :) Seems pretty conclusive that you're not alone, and that the same things have been said all the way down the ages.. But it seems to me in general, it is human nature to have fun, get drunk and be as naughty as possible :) |

The end of the Roman Empire was far worse than even now. Child sex slaves, orgies, and other far worse acts were regular entertainment for Rome. Look into Caligula. We are still Puritans in America. Quoting: -0- 19713099 So because there were societies more immoral than ours in the past, we don't need to address our current situation? We don't judge our need to act on a problem based on its relative severity in history. |

Theres world exploration, sprituality, travel. social times and good food. Other perverts however never grow up. They are the nerds who hate not getting the hot girl in high school so they become CEOs of companies and get to live out and push their unfufilled fantasies. Hetero, or gay, they will push their drooling agendas, like teen bikini girls with the lower bikini pushed as low as it goes and getting full ads every sunday. Those who have been there, done that, I had a wild and satisfying sex life. EVENTUALLY grow out of it and start getting interested in other things. I still need sex, but its a private thing and no one has to know my bedroom life. I feel sorry for the losers that have to live out their fantasies to the end. Knew of one marketer who got caught abusing his own kids. |
