Sex has always been somewhat of a taboo subject. When we’re kids, adults shield it from us. You must be at least 18 to purchase pornographic material. PDA’s are discouraged in any and all public places. Religions consider it a sin. Even the words we use to describe it—explicit, smut, etc—are ugly and negative. The question is, why?
For most people, sex is a beautiful, intimate experience to be shared and enjoyed by two people. It keeps people healthy, both emotionally and physically; it’s a great workout and builds closer relationships with others. It is the source of all human life. It is human nature to want and need it. So why do people consider it so taboo?
Why tell a child some made-up story about a stork when they’re not likely to believe it anyway? Why insist that the legal age to view porn should be 18 when we all know that teenagers start getting horny and exploring the subject much younger? Why treat something that is considered so beautiful by so many as an ugly act?
This isn’t just something that happens today. All through the centuries sex has been treated as an unspeakable subject. My question for you is, Do you believe that sex is a subject that should be treated in such a delicate manner, and why do you think that has been the case all through time?
