What does this quote mean to you?

Question

"Sex is like an atom. Reduced to its basic elements, and you've got a problem the size of Hiroshima. You end up with a lot of fall out but no joy.

Answer 1

This statement is metaphoric not literal and must not be thought of in the literal way in which an explosion of that nature would be ultimately distructive and completely negative.

First of all sex is the second strongest desire that we have. The reason for this is biological while the reason it is viewed as negative by the religious is a factor of control. The strongest desire we have is the will to servive. If you can not servive there is no reason to concern yourself with sex since you will be dead. However this means that when ones safety is not in danger the desire for sexual contact would suddenly become far more important, If not the most important.

Sex need not be a negative act even though it has been given such a bad rap because of certain effects that come as a seeming result of the act. However these effects are not due to the act of sex itself but rather to the choices that some (mostly it seems to be males) make after they have had this degree of closeness.

The act of sex itself can be an expression of love, joy and great pleasure between two people. It can also be hightened by two people that are already commited to each other as opposed to just two people that are like wild animals fulfilling basic primal needs. The higher brain function in humans makes us capable of reaching a level of pleasure that is just impossible in animals that do not possess the complex brain that humans do.

The effects that I refered to that are linked by certain groups, mostly it seems the religious right are the main ones in this reguard, to the act of sex are things like,
1. Pregnancy (Unwanted / Unplanned)
2. Sexual diseases
3. Violence (Mostly the women are the victim in this reguard)
4. Control of the other person (IE Dictating what they wear, who they talk to, were they go.)

These things are not always the result of the sex itself but the choices and actions that are made after the fact. Yes it is true that the first two can be the direct result of sex but there are methods that a person can use to try and protect themself from these things. In that reguard sex is not like an expolsion to one is helpless to the effects that come as a result.

While a male that becomes controling after having sex with a woman partly able to create this chaos because of the sex however it is not the act of sex that has caused this chaos but the choices that male made after the fact.
There are cases where the act of sex itself is wrong but these are cases where the person or people made a poor choice in the first place and the act of sex is just one expression of that poor choice not the entire issue.

The idea that there could be a netural aspect to sex is only in the reguard of people that are acting more like animals fulfilling primal needs and nothing unexpected occurs after. This is possib le but largely unlikely since when the sexal act is involved you also have peoples emotion wrapped up in the act and that can take a seemingly netural act and turn it into a living nightmare.

"Sex is like an atom. Reduced to its basic elements, and you've got a problem the size of Hiroshima. You end up with a lot of fall out but no joy."

I haven't heard this one, but I can see how it can be applied. The act of having sex is a purely physical and mechanical one devoid of emotion or reason; just ask any prostitute.

If the male partner acts like this with his female partner then he is going to be refused every time. If the male tries this then the effects will harm his marriage for years, decades to come and for all that time he will never get the joy of sex. Women don't physically need sex like men do.

In a partnership sex has to involve love, or it just won't work. Of course it helps if the female partner understands that the primary purpose of the male is to reproduce with as many women and as quickly as possible. Genetically this is the best way to pass on his genes. So we males are geared to want, and yes to physically need sex. Once we discover women and sex we think about sex over 60% of the time. For a successful partnership to work sex will be a major issue. In fact if you reduce a man to his component parts, like the atom then one of the strongest parts will be his desire for sex.

Answer 3

It means when you're with a man like me your screams would be as loud as a bomb dropping & the orgasmic flood would be the size of Hiroshima! However it wouldn't be ending up with no joy.
Granted you may be walking bow legged afterward and feeling like you had your eggs scrambled but I'd get a lot of joy out of it.
Oh yes and you'd get so much joy you'd keep cumming back for more!

No man does it like the devil does it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Answer 4

Nuclear explosions are powered by a chain reaction when you split the hydrogen atom. Hodrogen is the one of the most plentiful elements on earth and yet it can be one of the most destructive. If you separate sex (split the atom) from what gives it meaning and stablility, i.e. love and affection, you create a destructive force that hurts everyone involved

Answer 5

It looks to me like the writer is trying to say:
Don't examine sex too closely or it will blow up in your face. If you dig too deep, what you find will bring you an unmanageable amount of problems, and no happiness.

From this, I can extrapolate:
Take sex for what it is and don't try to reduce it to its basic elements. It's much better when you keep your examination of sex at a more macro level. You won't see all of the pimples that way, and you can maintain your happiness.

Answer 6

Don't know. Maybe it means that sex should not be treated as if it is only to satisfy some basic animal instinct? If you do this, you get into some messy relationships that will potentially ruin your life and bring you no joy. In other words, avoid junk sex.

Answer 7

It means that The Cat is having Chicken for Dinner tonight, no doubt about it. The Cat will be steadfast in his pursuit of that darn bird and make that statement true. That's what it means! Darn bird, The Cat needs his beauty sleep! I'll show that cock!

Answer 8

It means that if you have Any STD or Private part disorder, if you have sex a lot of things will happen but, its not neccessarily good.

Answer 9

After deep contemplation I do believe the writer of this quote just wasn't getting any!

Answer 10

Nothing, I think the quote is stupid and inaccurate. Sex is what you make of it. The worst sex is still good.
