i am highly sexual in nature. i make no bones about it, i think it`s natural and fun and am willing to try almost anything once; children, the dead, animals and faecal play being the exceptions; and all the things i am interested in i believe i`ve tried.
there are things i`ve done and forgotten, there are things remain with me and there are things i`m enjoying discovering. i started my sexual adventures early in life and at this point i can say i`ve been having sex more than half my life but it`s not about quantity, it`s about quality. the best sex in my life has been with long term partners as we got to know each other better and with vic, each time is better and better.
i`m very opened minded about sexuality and spend a lot of time reading about the subject, partially for my own edification and partially because i enjoy reading about sex. growing up my sexual fantasies were fuelled visually but by images i`d built in my head from stuff i`d read. even now, porn mostly bores me. i`m not saying there isn`t stuff that excites me, it`s just that`s not how i`m stimulated.
part of my fascination with sexuality is how people react to practices and people that are outside their norms. sexual mores like sexuality itself evolves and it`s fascinating to be able to read about whether the female orgasm is an evolutionary by-product, when as recently as 40 years ago, the female orgasm wasn`t even being acknowledged.
i worry however about the misinformation and in some cases the complete lack of information that young people are getting these days. there seems to be no middle ground for information these days the places where one can find clear, unbiased, truthful information about sexuality are sorely outnumbered. it`s mostly either misguided or deliberately misleading abstinence education or equally misleading pornography.
has anyone noticed the connection between morality and pornography, well aside from the obvious. i mean every time there is a marked upswing by people wishing to enforce a particular brand of morals, there is a major jump in the pornographic industry?
the Victorian era, one of the most prolific in terms of erotica. The 80s saw the rise of the Meese Commission, Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Baker, Jimmy Swaggart and Pat Graham as well as the high points in terms of both popularity and profit, of Penthouse and Hustler.
here we are again a new generation and new campaigns to enforce a particular brand of morals and what do we have to go along with it? Mainstream of the porn industry. why? because sexuality is a natural part of the human experience. we are one of only two species that have sex for fun.
the more they you try to repress it, the more avenues it`s going to come pouring out. do you think that fact that sex is used to sell everything is accidental? no, the point of advertising to make us desire, to seek things that we don`t have.
i want to raise my point again about the level of hypocrisy about the Superbowl furore, how can you, in a televised event featuring advertisements for tablets for male enhancement and alcohol featuring half naked women honestly object to the presence of a naked breast.
and therein lies the problem with morality, it`s convenient and hypocritical.
i would love my children to abstain from sex until they`re married at 35, but i honestly know that`s not going to happen, so i`m going to give them as much information as i can to help them make the right decisions. i can`t live their lives for them and as much as i`d like to, i can`t protect them from everything but i can certainly try and i think the best form of protection i can give them is information.
abstinence education is not working.
“Three-quarters of newly reported STI cases are in those under 25 years of age. Sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and human papilloma virus are being spread at shocking rates, again, mainly among the young…”
we need to educate our children, quickly and correctly because this current wave of pseudo-morality is most certainly not the answer.
