SEX and MODERN CULTURE/SOCIETY?

Question

I've noticed that when ever people talk about sex in the todays society, there is almost a smugness and pride behind it. You hear people brag and boast about there sex lives on TV, talk shows and what not.Even if its the stupidest things. Like one night stands or any other shallow sexual arrangment. There's such a, I feel. Stupid pride. Like you're accomplishing something vintage, priceless. . .

Is this a media thing? This kind of boast and bragging? All the sex were just so pumped full of on a daily basis. Does this come from this overly sexualized time we live in? And it goes for BOTH sexes! I just don't get why we parade it so much.

It just seems kind of pathetic to me. . .

AND PLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO GET "LAID." BE MATURE FOLKS. I KNOW THIS YAHOO. . .

Answer 1

It has not always been like this. In earlier centuries sex was seen as a natural desire that people who didn't have anything less primitive to do would indulge to the extreme. In civilized societies, men are usually on the losing end of sexual exchanges, since their explosive, impatient, testosterone-driven sex drives make them elatively more vulnerable to sexual manipulation than women, in general. In earlier civilization men relegated sex to a lower priority than it has today, and redirected their energies toward building civilizations. But today, men don't seem to realize that they're a lot more easily controlled when their minds are kept on n++ky.

Answer 2

I think the presence of sex and sexuality is not a new thing.There has always been the " bragging rights" or locker room talk by boys( and probably girls too) in the past.Someone would brag about who they did it with like it was some sort of conquest.It did not matter if their inflated stories had any factual merit, they looked like gods to their friends.It did not matter if it destroyed someones reputation by being thought to be easy.This type of mentality will always be present because some people feel the need to feed their ego ,even at someone else's expence.The openess with which people talk about sex is due in part to the world around us.Sex sells.If you doubt this just look at most commercials aimed at adults.The advertiser is selling a glamourous and sexy lifestyle and they try to get you to think you could have this same lifestyle if you buy their product.I think the only positive,if there is one, is that issues that were once taboo are now in the open and can be addressed without others being judged.It is too bad that people do not leave something to the imagination because that can also be seductive.I think people who feel the need to tell all ,are insecure little people who would not know the meaning of respect or discretion.Would you really trust someone like that with your reputation? Do you think this type of person has the capacity to trully care for another in a loving relationship?I don't think there would be room for two people when the one is so in love with themself.

Answer 3

Sex is beautiful, it is the most intimate relationship one person can have with another. It is a relationship to be treasured between two trusting adults.

Sex does not need to be advertised, nor boasted about and least of all should not be on international television shows.

There is little wonder that there is a massive increase in sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.. There is also a thousand fold increase in cervical and prostate cancers.

I AM NOT SAYING MULTIPLE SEXUAL PARTNERS CAUSES CANCERS. (but it helps).

I do not watch these talk shows so you can call me an old fashioned prude if you want. I think the matter should be private between the two people involved.

Answer 4

I have never told you to get laid. I just don't want you to let this problem hold you back from finding a nice person to spend the rest of your life with.

Anyway, you are right. Society is over sexualized and I'm not going to blame it completely on the media... But I want to.

Answer 5

As far as the media is concerned, "sex sells" and it sure does.

Even in the most strict of societies, men and women have spoken fairly candidly to their friends. What is to be ashamed of? It's wonderful and makes you smile.
