I think she was just trying to say that sex is a natural thing and shouldn't be cast in such a negative light.
I get that, and while I don’t think it should be seen in a negative light, I also don’t think it should be seen in a positive one, either. It’s a private thing, unless it’s for educational or safety purposes, it shouldn’t see light at all. Or at least not as much as it’s getting.
Human nature should not be hidden.
Well, I'm sorry if I, and many, many other people don't want to immediately hear in-depth discussions about what some guy's partner looks like naked, the types of pornographic content that get the most views, and people bragging about the size of their parts every time we log on to the internet.
It should be hidden, to an extent. Please. For the sake of our sanity…
Especially something as natural, enjoyable, and casual as sex.
It's only "casual" if you choose to view it that way, and considering many things including the emotional attachment and physical dangers that come with it, I'm not sure if "casual" is the right word to use. Sure, I guess people don't have to be married or in a really long-term relationship to do it although they probably should, I mean, it's at least a thousand times safer, but if people decide to be idiots and end up hurt in some way from it, that's not my problem. As long as they both agree and aren't hurting anyone else but that doesn’t instantly make it just a casual, risk-free thing.
It's honestly not that big of a deal.
Except it is. Sure, it may be a natural thing, but it's extremely dangerous, often physically/emotionally scarring, and can destroy the lives of people in just seconds if something goes even slightly wrong. The way it's portrayed online is just some "fun little activity", when in reality, there’s a lot more to it.
Literally everyone does it.
…Except not "literally everyone" does it. There are many people out in the world who choose not to, and keep that way until they're dead. It's not impossible to keep your bodies to yourself despite what many people seem to believe, it's not impossible to show love/affection without doing the thing, it's not impossible to teach that to others convincingly, and it's not impossible for the people who do that thing to keep their mouths shut and not write/share 30 songs, 1,862 tweets, a comedy miniseries, and an entire novel about how great it was.
Murder and death (like big death), on the other hand, should not be broadcasted as much as it is because that is not a natural occurrence/aspect of human nature and only inspires more violence.
I was going to counter-argue but my WiFi went out and now I don’t have my sources.
Ja feel?
…Not really?
And, before everyone starts throwing words into my mouth, I'm not trying to argue that "all sex is bad and gross and icky and people should just stop doing it and also stop reproducing because it's ewwwwwwww". No. That's extremely stupid.
I'm also not trying to argue that "parents should shelter their children from it until they're like adults or something". No. That's stupid as well. (Instead, people should educate the youth on it, including all the horrifying details and dangers that could occur from misusing it. Educate them until they're absolutely terrified if you have to. It's better than saying "Ehhhh, they're teenagers, they're obviously going to do it anyway, I guess I'll just tell them it's an amazing thing with no possible consequences-"
That's how you end up with medical bills, 38 grandchildren, and possibly even a dead/diseased child.)
What I am trying to argue and am probably failing at is that it shouldn't be seen in this all-perfect, incredible, undeniably amazing light of infinite happiness/pleasure. You look around and there are tons of people who do nothing but joke about it, talk about it, sing about it, write about it, and even record it for the entire internet, always showing it as nothing more than a "natural, casual thing".
I can't stand that. So many people fall for that illusion and lose their reputation, -sometimes even their livesbecause of that trap, and it's not like they know any better, all they were told was “Oh yeah it’s the best thing ever and people who don’t try it are obviously lonely”
So instead of arguing to try and make it seen from an even more positive perspective, maybe people should take a glance at the negatives, acknowledge their existence, accept that there’s more to sex than just a few moments of pleasure, and either try to address that occasionally or completely shut up about all of it.
And again, I’m not trying to say that all people who have sex and talk about it are instantly awful human beings, and I’m not trying to justify those who go out of their way to bully them. I understand not everyone shares the exact same viewpoint as me, and I respect their opinions. I really don’t think people should be shamed for their choices, as long as all the people involved consented, it should be completely fine for them to make stupid and dangerous decisions, however, I also don’t want to encourage others to make those same stupid/dangerous decisions without knowing what’s on the line. Do you know what I mean?
No? Great.
This was probably all over the place and made absolutely no freaking sense, so for that, I apologize. (Normally when I’m this tired I avoid debates, but for some reason I didn’t this time because I’m an idiot who no longer cares if I embarrass myself or not)
So… Goodnight fellow squishy, knowledge-holding brain things stuck inside this bizarre formation of bones, cells, hair, fleshy stuff, and guts that we refer to as the human body, see you tomorrow…?
I give up on words, English is overrated
