Why is sex still taboo in 2021?
Good morning on this fine Monday fellow readers of the Goddess blog and welcome to another post by your one and only Goddess! Today I want to discuss a bit about the peculiar thing that is the taboo of sex - why is sex taboo in 2021 and why are still some people ashamed/afraid to talk about it? Stick around as this Goddess will be laying out her beliefs for you, my beloved readers, and as always guys, remember to let this Goddess see some coffees! :))
Personally, I love Sex. It’s fucking fantastic. But why is sex such a taboo social topic?
Education and Exposure. The way we learn about sex and how we first have it, speak volumes to why we don’t want to talk about it and how we react when we do.
Sexual Education is a spotty situation; I could paint the actual social reality for you: with statistics, that show correlations between sexual education and various social issues. I could, but that’s not the point of this post, think of it as kind of a written conversation.
I’ll assume the following when I speak of sex, that you are reading this. So it means, you have unrestricted Internet access. From this I can assume the political structure and various conditions that you may have been exposed to, in advance please forgive me if you cannot identity with my ideas on sex culture. This doesn’t, in any sense, restrict the validity of any sexual experience but this is a candid conversation and you can’t talk back. I’ll begin by saything that our base level judgement behind having sex is routed in things like trust, confidence, and sexual ideologies. These factors are developed through our lives and are anchored on sexual education and sexual exposure.
Person. v. Partner. This is the most important aspect of sexual relationships. First off, all sex should be: consensual, legal and conscience. Let’s face it, even if you hold some religious value to sex; it is, in itself, a carnal act. It’s raw emotion and can take numerous forms between two mature people. When the first three conditions are meet, everyone having sex is on an equal level. So there should be, a social understanding around the topic, but I’ll explain how when we move sex away from the people having it, the issue transforms.
Person.v. Close Circles. This can be a number of social circles. Families are the most important circles in which we build our sexual identities, over several experience-based aspects of child development. Things like how we’re taught about our bodies, how we experience subjects related to sex, and how much sex is talked about, or how little; all influence our sexual confidence, trust and ideologies.
Friends are an important way of understanding our sexuality in respect to our peers. They come with their unique set of issues. Everyone is different, so our sexual experiences vary and our level of trust should inherently dictate, how much we share. The way sex is perceived in society requires that we trust, whom we share information about our sexual experiences with. This is both a good and bad aspect to sharing. Talking about sex is a great thing: it helps us understand it more; it normalizes some experiences while opening discussions about diverse facets of our sexuality. However, trust becomes an important aspect of sharing our sexual experiences. Because sexual information is personal, it can be thought of by some as social power”, a way of influencing the behaviour of others.
Person.v. Society. Society, ultimately by a dam effect, shapes: the social power attached to sex and sexual information, the formation of sexual values and sexual experiences, how families communicate sexual education and various sexual exposures.
That is it for today’s post guys! Hope you had a blast and this post helped you with starting your week in the best way possible! :))
Goddess wishes you a wonderful week ahead,
