SEX

"SEX"

Sex has evolved over thousands of years. Every period of time has different outlooks on sex and our time is no different. These days, sex is something virtually everyone does all the time and the methods are limited only to our imaginations. People these days will have sex with spouses, lovers, boyfriends/girlfriends, casually among friends and even with strangers. In my opinion, sex has evolved to the point where it's a major priority for pleasure, stress relief, the feeling of closeness and even just for attention, be it psychologically, emotionally, physically or a mixture of the three. The main problem I see with sex these days is considering how evolved it's become, most people are still extremely uptight about it. Sure, if you're married or dating or in any way, have a significant other, then you should be with only that person. For those without a significant other, they should be able to easily search out another in the same situation to share the experience with. Mutual pleasure, stress relief, closeness, attention... but that's not how it is because for some reason, people are too uptight.

Look at it this way... you come home in the evening, pour yourself a glass of wine, turn on some jazz or other soft music, run a hot bath, sit and soak for an hour, listening to music and drinking wine... why? It's relaxing, relieves stress and makes you feel good. Now, if you were to instead, stop by the liquor store, pick up a bottle of wine, go find a friend or someone you at least know a little, to know that he's single and not psychotic, take him home for the evening... or for an hour or two... have a glass of wine and have sex. It's stress relieving as well, makes you feel good, plus you get the attention and closeness of another person and the other person gets the same as well. Sure, there are higher risks... pregnancy, STDs, etc, but if you're responsible enough, the risk is very minimal... not much more riskier than getting tipsy on wine and falling out of the bathtub and hitting your head.

About 70% of people nowadays have very little problem with going out on a date or two and then sexing with someone but not everyone wants to date the people they meet… so what’s wrong with two people who have needs getting together and helping each other fulfill those needs until a person they want to date comes along? Nothing… but it still rarely ever happens. Much to everyone’s misfortune, despite how evolved our species has become, the majority of people are disappointingly closed minded. Not simply just with sex, but with most issues. If people were more open minded, the world might actually be a half decent place to live… but I fear that may never happen.
