Do you personally feel that our current society, in our current time is obsessed with sex?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

Just look at the way everyone is dressed these days. That'll answer your question.
However, if you look around your neighborhood, you really don't see a lot of blatant sexuality around. I see more domestic disputes, which is more a crime of anger, or I see crimes involving drugs. Rarely do I see crimes of a sexual nature, and for the most part, they are more related to crimes of violence than they are to crimes of passion.

Answer 2

Yes. I think from a much younger age than the last generation children are being bombarded with sexual images. Childhood is being compressed and some young girls try to dress in a way that is unsuitable for their age because of peer pressure.

There is too much emphasis on sex in young girls magazines, music videos and tv shows like Sex and the City have not helped because they have promoted promiscuous sex as being the normal way to live. I think this show alone has had a major effect on the young women watching.

Not that I have anything against sex but from a christian perspective it is meant to be sacred and meaningful within a marriage and in some ways it has been peverted into something cheap, casual and insignificant.

Answer 3

The rebellious teen in us never really grew up... the hormones don't help either.

Speaking to a friend in SOuth East Asia, she told me that certain areas, some sections of society are enforced with very strict codes( its even a law ) about indecent activity in public, which includes kissing or being an unmarried couple in a lonely place. She said, it is those sections of society that has the highest number of reports in lewd sex acts and its not about kissing or chatting in a lonely place.

I think it is because of the "taboo" aspect, people tend to want to try it even MORE! hehe... hence the rebellious teen in all of us surfaces every now and then.

Answer 4

Obsessed ? No more than any other generation . We have been given free reign to express it though openly . Attitudes on sex are more relaxed granted . In the past sexuality was all but condemed by early chistian's . Id say that they were more obessed with than us primarily because they spent so much time telling us NOT to have sex . That sex was kept more in our consious thought . You have to really make the decsion to have or not have sex. Dont worry so much what anyone else says.

Answer 5

I feel society is obsessed with it because of media, which includes t.v., magazines, books, the internet, etc. There is talk about sex in songs and music. Everybody thinks it is okay to do because it is being talked about like everyone does it.

Answer 6

I don't feel that things are much different now than they ever have been in regards to the influence of sex and it's practice.

What I think is that the technological developments in communications between people over distances has called attention to what was always there.

Answer 7

It is obsessed by doing things "my way" without regard to any rules or regulations. Including in this is sex but also theft, lying, cheating and all other sins that make you feel better about yourself and your desires.

By the way, sex in it's place is one of the greatest earthly blessing God gave marriages. Sex is very important to maintain a loving marriage.

Answer 8

Yes. The more free time people have, the more time to engage in it and Americans have quite a bit of free time! Just do a search for sex on the web and see if you get more than a few results?

Answer 9

Not anymore or less than societies before us, and presumably the ones that will succeed us. It's in the genes. We talk about it more now, but that's due to changing social values and standards of behavior. It's more acceptable to talk about sex now than it was fifty, a hundred, or two hundred years ago, especially in the media.

Answer 10

I feel like there is an obsession because sex in American culture is viewed at prudishly. Many Americans are very uptight about things of a sexual nature.
