People and Sex

[AndThePickles]

People in Western society, particularly the U.S., have a huge hang-up on sex thanks to the Puritan roots that were so prevalent during the founding of this country. They were WAY hung up on sex and viewed it as dirty and sinful except for the express and specific purpose of pro-creation. To say they were sexually repressed is an understatement. Somehow, these views managed to permeate much of the other offshoot religious factions that populated the country as it progressed and, because our country is really pretty young by most standards, we still have not come out of that mindset. Places like much of Europe, for example, that have been around for a long time have evolved past these hang-ups much more than we have. Japan is another great example. Even China has some more advanced views on the subject than most Americans do, which is somewhat frightening. We're a very voyeuristic society with seemingly more interest in what everyone else is doing than what we are doing ourselves. The tabloid papers and cult of celebrity are testament to that. To all those people who have these hang-ups, all I can say is "boy are you missing out on some incredible fun".

He does it to me too. Not that I mind. I can learn from it.
