Is today’s society too open about sex?

On this issue I'm fine with whatever the free society produces.

Well for once, I think I agree with CheFlegal. I'm not gay, but my brother is extremely homophobic, and I think a lot of that stems from the ridiculous antics of the stereotypical gay community. As ever, a small minority make it more difficult for anyone else. So maybe there's nothing wrong with being a bit camp, but how is society going to accept homosexuality when its most vocal supporters are all borderline transvestites? Anyway, I should probably get back the original question. Openness about sex is clearly a good thing, I mean you'd have a serious problem if you can't talk about it with your partner, or even your closest friends (to a lesser degree). But for me, society being open about it isn't so great. Stalin talks about the conflict between moral duty and sexual desires. For me, anxiety or no anxiety, this should be a perpetual struggle; if one side starts to lose, we risk becoming what many people would see as degenerate, or innappropriate, or a bit rapey. :lol: Some people seem to always want to push the boundaries, and they're welcome to do so, but the boundaries just seem to be retreating with every push. I mean, in terms of popular culture, the days of 'booty-shaking' and 'hoes' seem positively Victorian compared with the transvestite S&M fest we see today. Obviously being an authoritarian I would say that, but really it's like everything else; there should be a balance. Anyway, i've gone on for far too long :geek:

I just spent a hour of my life doing a reply to this and got loged out all gone,kapuat down the crapper,it was good stuff as well if i can bring my self to do it i will attempt to ,but at the moment i have lost the will to live !

He should redo the response and post it so we can see his glorious opinon to this topic.

Google Chrome saves my responses when I accidentally close windows.

I would get that if it saved my URL typings. I'm to lazy to retype Josefvstalin.com every time.

I don't either. I use my bookmarks. Whenever I close a window, I can just go to my history where I was responding to the topic, and my post will be recorded there for me to continue at my leisure.

I kinda agree with Che on this one. Sex is a perfectly normal aspect of life. But control over those urges is crucial in human development. And just think about it people if your next partner had open sex with everyone they met, what do you think you would catch? All I'm saying is we need to be responsible

Well here is my second attempt to reply,

human sexuality what we like to do and have done has been the same from year dot,there is nothing that is new or should come as a surprise to us in this day and age,the basic things that you do not do are,rape sex with the dead,animals,children and sleep around when you have a partner.

The minority in power use sex as a way to control the mass in my opinion,they like to keep our minds busy so we are easy to control.

I wrote more last time but this is the point i was trying to get across.

I'm gonna have to agree with Che on this one. It's our ability to control our natural inclinations that makes us better than animals. It's rather disturbing that sex pervades pretty much every media available, but I can understand how effective it can be as a tool for marketing and gathering the attention of sheeple.

And its also the ability to know which natural inclinations to control, and sex ain't one of them.

I agree with D3adtrap. LETS GET NAKED! Though we might wana wait till its a bit warmer out side.

Its good to talk to your partner about sex and find out what he/she likes. I feel that it makes a relationship much stronger that way.

A recent music video by a 'Jenna Rose' titled "O.M.G." has been described as a sort of 'reverse paedophilia'. Their scant loose clothing, suggestive lyrics, and some perverse images have lead me to dread it. To give you an idea, the video starts with the words "Teen boom-boom doll" written across the frame. She is twelve. Check it out at your own discretion, the girls in the video are twelve years old. Twelve. That is four less than sixteen (depending on the legal age for consent in your country).
Having and expressing sexuality is perfectly fine, but we live in a hyper-sexed society that forces negative ideas about carnality from television, fashion, commercials, advertisements, and music. Society should talk about sex and make people aware of it in a positive atmosphere. Kids should not learn about "fuckin' bitches" in elementary school. That was the last time I do a favour for a friend with kids (it wasn't his kid, but one I overheard in the playground).

I can agree we're a bit to open about sex when 11 and 12 year olds are wearing short shorts. Perhaps it convinces the youth to think more towards appearence, rather than personality, which will actually matter in the long term. But they do have the "right", so the speak, to look like skanks and we can't really suppress that right in any reasonable way.

Basiclly, the effort it would take to get them to stop being focused on sex would not be worth the limited success it would have on our society.

I think that people should be able to do whatever, but... KEEP IT IN THE BEDROOM! You're not that good looking

A society that encourages people to not express themselves is one which will breed isolation and alienation.

Well since Stalin agreed to do a porno with me and his GF in the Homosexuality thread I assume that he is fine with being very open about sex. xD

It saddens me to be on the same side of the issue as the religious right, but this is basically exactly how I feel. When confronted about sexuality I have massive panic issues. These don't hit me when I see sexuality on the TV, rather when someone is discussing their sexuality with me. I think the fear I have is tied to my insecurity with my own sexuality, which I haven't really cured. Sexuality pervading society I believe encourages youths to experiment with their sexuality at too young of an age. Shows about teenage pregnancy, Morry and other such shows are incredibly, incredibly hard to watch for me.
