Why does society make a big deal out of sex?

Post Reply New Topic

It seems that sex is in our face everywhere we go. We hear it in songs, see it on television, in movies, advertisements, and many other places. I often hear the saying that "sex sells." It seems like companies only appeal to heterosexual people. They act like everyone is straight and all men are horny for boobs and all women are horny for big, tough men. They seem to forget that there are more sexualities out there than just hetero. I think that sex is overrated and the media puts much more emphasis on it than it needs. The media says that if you aren't having it you are a lonely loser who is missing out. The media portrays sex as a game that we should all be playing. Sex should be taken seriously and it should not be messed around with. You should only have it when you are mature enough and ready with the person you love. You shouldn't just have it with random people and not use protection. Sex leads to unwanted pregnancies and STDs if you are not careful. I think all of this sex constantly in our face is a bit too much. Not everyone is hetero and desires the same thing. Sex can ruin your life if you aren't careful. I don't understand what our culture's obsession with sex is. There is more to life than sex and sex should not be treated as a sport or a game. It should be taken seriously.

My answer to the question of Why? goes deep in to the spiritual realm of the contest between God and not God.Which is probably a belief shared by so few that I probably shouldn't have bothered taking the time to mention it.
Basically, that which is not God gets its jollies from mocking, distorting, devaluing, on up to destroying, that which was given by, created by, God, and it accomplishes that by spiritually influencing human beliefs and behavior.

I honestly don’t know. It seems rather basic and ridiculous.

TBH I was very disappointed with sex when it happened to me for the first time.
I thought: so much desire, poetry, advertisements, songs etc. - to this? It didn't make sense to me. Sticking to the poetry gave me much more pleasure.
But I'm not very sensual, more abstract contcepts like relationships appeal to me much more.

Because reproduction is the reason we are here.

Also, sex is fun.

Biological Imperative.

Humans are hardly atypical. Male lions spend most of their effort winning and defending a pride of females. Some male spiders risk literally being eaten alive to mate. Male birds spend huge amounts of energy building elaborate nests, doing complex mating dances, or maintaining extravagant and otherwise less-than-useless plumage. Not to mention the enormous investment that females of most species make in pregnancy and/or raising offspring. It's all about survival of the species.
