Sex has lost its meaning?
I've been writing down ideas for this post for a week or so, if it rambles, bear with me. Also, I'd like to avoid flames about my lack of acceptance of the sexual appetities of others.
I do have some conservative beliefs, but I'm not a raving christian. I completely understand and agree with homosexuality for instance. If you love someone, it doesn't matter what equipment they have. If you have two consenting adults who love each other and want to try something people consider "deviant," go for it. The only place I really draw the line is when people can't make a responsible decision for themselves due to age or mental disability, or practices that end up with someone being seriously hurt.
One thing I don't understand is when people just go out and have "sport sex" for lack of a better term. Lots of people just go out to get their rocks off, no commitment, no thoughts of what could happen, just go out with the intention of fucking. Even if you use protection, there is still a pretty decent risk of something happening that you could regret. It doesn't matter if your a guy or a girl, bad things can happen.
I also don't understand people just having sex for the fun of it. I have once had sex with someone I didn't truly love and plan to spend my life with, and I've regretted it ever since. Other than the immediate jollies, I just didn't enjoy it. I couldn't let go and really express myself with someone I didn't absolutely love and trust.
In my opinion a lot of younger people are having sex too soon or too often, out of a need for the feeling of love and acceptance, and thats not a healthy way of going about getting either. What has caused this rise in the openness of sharing so deeply without any emotional significance or attachment?
