People in general are somewhat taken aback by my unconventional views of love and sex. I don’t believe you need to be in love to have sex and I don’t believe you have to have sex if you’re in love.
In modern day America, sex is used to sell everything. Toilet paper. Cake mix. Motor oil.
Despite the fact that we preach to only have sex when you’re in love or married, we as a society, fill our media with images to titillate the senses.
Even more frustrating is our inability to openly admit our arousal for fear of (public) shame and ridicule. Look but don’t touch.
For whatever reason, Americans are permanently stuck in this “Eve inspired situation” in which if you should take a bite of the apple, you will be cast out as a pervert or a deviant.
The desire to have sex (or procreate) is a carnal desire, a primal instinct.
”’Sex’ is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.” – Marquis De Sade
Words like “slut” and “whore” are used to degrade those who give into this cravings. Heaven help a woman who may enjoy the pleasures of the bedroom, she is not to be trusted.
What baffles me even more so are the highly prized concepts of marriage and monogamy. Laws created by man that defy the basic rules of nature.
… Recently while speaking to a friend I mentioned the phrase I may get as my second tattoo. He was not offended, but suggested I truly consider it to the fullest extent.
“The idea of God is the sole wrong for which I cannot forgive mankind” – Marquis De Sade
It was after a brief pause that he then said it would be no different then someone getting a tattoo of a cross.
To be clear, it is not religion that I despise. I believe the idea is wonderful and fanciful, and that the majority of the population needs to believe they really aren’t alone … because the truth that they don’t matter is a hard realization.
Religion is more often then not, abused. The longest running “get out of jail free card”, I find it just as ridiculous as the Twinkie defense.
