Too Much Sex In Society?
51 days 8 hours ago | by:
Meus Renaissance
A few days ago I came across this widely publicised article study declaring that 1 in 4 teenage girls in the United States have contracted atleast one STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) due to their sex lives and it floored me. A couple days later I read another article where the Dutch want to
legalise
sex in public places, specifically their parks and I'm thinking; what in the world is happening?
I'm sure you've all come across one or few people in your lives who insist that there is too much showing of flesh etc in our times but do these startling facts support that - or am I blowing this out of proportion?
How is that atleast 3million American girls are sleeping around, or have slept with a guy who indulges in multiple sex partners? Have we become a society, of literally, whores?
Ofcourse we all have our limits to what we perceive as offensive or distasteful, as do I, but I think the bigger issue here is not really what is happening but our attitude towards it. We've become so sexually liberal over the past few decades, blanketing that with 'freedom of expression, that we've lost our moral principles. Nowdays we cheer and admire men who make it some sort of personal mission to bed as many women as they possibly can in a week, or women who dress so loosely - they think wearing a transparent-blouse with a thong showing behind this tiny piece of material they see as a mini-skirt as "covering up".
The New York governer who recently resigned in shame was running around prostitutes, whilst his replacement admits that in his marriage he and his wife have had several affairs and shortly afterwards another study is released that in America - almost 25% of marriages suffer from infidelity. And here we are today, desensitized to it all - allowing that to just drop and we forget what is right and what is wrong. Where is the outcry in our society when things like this happen? No where.
We're too busy playing games that they themselves now have begun to reflect society's perception of sex; we become more and more desensitized to it. The media, in our TV shows and movies, will argue that they're just reflecting our world and not encouraging one thing or another but we see them and grow up with them, with the impression that "this is what happens, its okay".
It's not.
There needs to be a change of our attitude and it doesn't seem like too many people either care or really agree that we are too liberal with that subject. I find that depressing.

I don't believe that Sex is the only thing increasing in our society, Murder, Rape and harmful acts against children are also on the rise on a worldly scale.
The main reason I see this happen is because of lousy parenting. there was a time where parents would dread the moment that their son or daughter was about to enter their teen years because that meant that "THE TALK" was soon upon them. But at least parents back then tired to explain the birds and the bees to their children, the real good ones would go into detail about everything that can come from having relations at such a young age and that for the most part was enough to make most kids think before they acted on what their bodies were telling them to do.
Now a days we don't see that anymore, in a society that seems to want the elected government to take care of all it problems, children seem to be thrown into the mix of "Problems" that parents want the government to handle, but the government and parents are basically following the "Don't do as I do and do as I say" approach which never works. As today media outlets such as Television, radio and Videogames become more open and liberal, this isn't the time where parents need to count on someone else to raise their kids, this is the time where "THE TALK" needs to happen more and more often which is sad in more ways then one, since now we are in a society that is not allowing for our children to remain children. But with proper supervision our children can have a childhood which all children deserve and be allowed to grow up responsible and with a right mind in their heads.
If we continue to see parents take a hands-off approach in the way they raise their children we can all expect to see more rapes and murders and horrible acts committed against children from adults that were never allowed a proper childhood.

6 - Liberal agenda theory
....is crap. Please send me this stupid study too. I'm not trying to be an arse but come on. I agree we as a society have become a little bit more flamboyant regarding sexual behavior but who is to blame? I'd say changin of the times. Look to our friends across the pond, turn on the boob tube starting as early as 9. We lag behind many cultures in this respect and its easy to see why. We as a nation are all about censorship and moral upbringing. Abstinence taught in schools in the stead of sex education promotes these std rates not promiscuity in games. Give your kid a beer when hes 16 and he'll hate it and wont probably do it again til college. Try to make sure he never has access to it and he'll be the first one with alcohol poisoning the minute he can try. Kids having sex as early as 7th grade is pretty sad, but can we really blame that too much on media? Sure bad parenting is a culprit too. Nonetheless, unless we as a society can own up to these things and recognize they exist we wont make things better. Some supervision is needed, a four year old shouldnt see a full on sex scene. However, if theyre old enough to ask about it youd be damned sure they already know a lot more than thought. Clear up facts, not hide them. I learned about sex as early as 7. Not all the gory details, but the gist of it. If you think the video game you bought is the first time your son has seen boobs, think again, what you have hidden under the bathroom sink has more observers than you think.

I agree with you Meus, but I don't think there's anything we can do about it, and I'm not going to pretend I have any sort of valuable insight into the matter.
All I can say is... slutty girls turn me off most of the time. I just don't like that sort of thing.
Then again, as long as they're over 18, they can do whatever they want. Problem is, too many girls under legal age are "doing what (or who) they want."
Society's mucked up, and the only hope we have of making it better is trying to be model citizens, set a good example, and hope others follow suit.
Good blog though Meus. Thumbs up, and a bubble for you :)

I completely agree with you. Sex is not to be had outside of marriage and people need to learn how to control themselves.

Maybe we, as a mankind, should try walking naked and having sex in public. I mean, that's what all the other inhabitants of the Earth do. Maybe we'd be happy that way. I don't think so and I'd hate to see ugly people naked and having sex, but just maybe we should try and go back to our unnatural ways if it doesn't work out.

11.1 - you may have a point
for instance look at the middle east where its taboo to show an ankle but at 9 yrs old (maybe older) you are given an AK47 to kill the infidels...now I admit once married it is not as strict and I know not all Muslims/Middle easterners (Hope nobody takes offense) want to kill everyone, but do they seem to be any better off than the U.S. or any other part of the world, plain and simple the human being is not perfect and as long as there is something "taboo" someone is going to run head first into it screaming me first...oh yeah I love sex and all the wonders it brings of course there is a time and a place and I am not into public display but then again I have never tried it so who knows

I totally agree that there's too much sex in today's society. I'm amazed at how the girls in my own classes talk to each other about the things they did the night before like it was just some casual everyday thing. Sadly there's nothing I (and many of the people who feel the way I do) can do about this.
