Is The Way We Make Sexuality A Taboo Responsible...

[Delta4Embassy]

Thought just occured thinking of my Ken doll reference earlier, is how we make sexuality in our culture a taboo subject whole, or in part, responsible for other aspects of our culture? Hyper-PC, unitended pregnancies and abortion(since people apparently don't know how babies get made if making them unintentionally,) violence, self-harming (can't help but notice how 'nut shot' videos have become a thing.)

If we censor even "porn" on tv as with no male frontal nudity on premium cable channels, are men in our society doing those nut shot videos because they've been emasculated already and don't see any other use for them? What about how sitcoms for the last 20+ years have women as clearly superior (smarter, always right, can do no wrong, etc.) and men are the slobby morons lucky to have such forgiving and tolerant wives. Is the sex censorship in effect emasculating men?

And is how we make taboo even a discussion about sexuality only further adding to this emasculation? Men used to like sex, a lot. But thinking of threads here I've been surprised by how many men seem like Ken dolls. If 'Barbie' let's them sleep over, or go for a ride in her pink Covette they're lucky fellas. Nevermind the fact that they're...Biologically challenged down there.

Well, it is obviously not a taboo subject for you.

I've only been here a short time, but I have already noticed how you keep nibbling around the edges of various subjects that most normal people find distasteful. Especially in regards to matters concerning age, I have seen my share of those with a similar m.o. on the net who seem to be seeking encouragement to be more open in regards to expressing their desires. Most end up going there with or without the encouragement, so if others have had the same observations as mine in terms of people edging their way towards a certain discussion, perhaps the red flags are there for them as well as me.

I'm on an actual sexology discussion site as well. If I wanted to preach the choir I'd be there. Point of sexual education is to teach. Nothing to teach those who already know this material.

Ah, yes -- "sexual education". What a delightful euphemism this is when the object is to desensitize people to the sexual exploitation of children.

Now, perhaps the reliance on such a specious term makes you feel better, but I would think many people here could see right through it and know what you are edging towards.

Think about this then: as your own inability to accept this is legitimate material for discussion demonstrates, many people are still uncomfortable with such information being presented. When it is they attack it, the presenter, and the information itself. Even when confronted by their errors. So what do we do? Give up and not try, or keep hammering away so that over time enough factual evidence gets into people's heads that the inclination to attack what they don't understand fades away?

It's either get educated about sex, or, as someone just posted in CE, myths like sticking a potato up your vagina is effective birth control.

Also, no one's talking about sex and kids here except you Dog'.

Yes, it's actually rather pathetic how many men, as well as women, make sex out to be such a terrible taboo.

It may be that their bodies are far less attractive now and that they do not experience the same pleasures as beautiful people. Perhaps their hate stems from envy, as well as the indoctrination of religion or the media.

Sex, the human body... it is something to be celebrated, something to be unleashed... not confined to a small dark room under the covers in the missionary position...

If that's the problem, your community needs to hire a different contractor to teach the class. Seriously.

My humble opinion is that it should be taught before high school with an emphasis on the mechanics and the biological results, and later, during high school, cover the ethics of no meaning 'no', promises, peer pressure, avoiding situations where the stupid is likely to happen and stuff, but it's your community... shop around, run it up the Google flagpole and see what salutes back.

Do you REALLY think this thread is all about sex education in schools?

Considering the fact that an earlier thread was discussing exposing children to pornography, I don't think that is what this euphemism was referring to.

Ideally, sex ed should happen at home. Unfortunately, as some here reveal, that's not likely. But because sexuality has real effects for those not directly involved with a lack of understand as with STIs, and pregnancies, the state has an interest in teaching it in school. Be nice if they didn't have to, but absent scientific education about sex from parents, someone really should teach it. Otherwise kids are gonna have unsafe sex, get pregnant, and spread diseases more than they already do. Not teaching sex-ed doesn't curtail sex, it only increases incidences of unsafe sex and occurences of pregnancy.

Hmm...

Hadn't really considered it at all, truth be told. I was just responding to what you wrote as a stand-alone post, Bro'.

I always look at patterns, myself. When any given poster has a history of saying certain things, the relatedness to any other given statement becomes more apparent.

As such, I never consider ANY post as standing alone.

Problem with your logic and methodology is if you start wondering about people who write about sexuality comfortably you're gonna be wondering about every scientist and law enforcement official who does that rather a lot.
