Power and Sex

[gleef]

That being said, I STILL don't understand why most people see sexual activity as dirty, or evil, or whatever. Considering the potential power of such energy, I would find it at least a little foolish for people not to consider sexual energy a potential avenue for changing ones life for the better.

Sexuality is such a primal, fundamental force that it is often used to harness and control lower ranked members of a culture. I wouldn't be at all suprised if use of this technique predates homo sapiensI mean, think about it, there aren't very many stronger social and political shows of power than controlling who you can and cannot have sex with, especially with an understanding that the people at the top can have sex with whomever they want

"And that is to say that it was mostly focused on various religious, and conservative interests taking an interest in what I do within my bedroom, or another bedroom with a consenting adult, and how decriminalization of selling sex would actually make it safer, less exploitive, and easier for most people involved."

See the criminalization and dirtifying of sex can be traced back to a simple concept. Female ownership. Some cultures viewed brides as properity. You do not buy a used product and so you make sex all about procreation and not pleasure. It's a way of controlling what people do. It means that a woman's husband controls when and where a woman gets to have sex.

(I've just woken up so I hope this makes as much sense here as it did in my head when I was thinking it.)

Yep, there is quite a bit of evidence that 'free love' and women who decide their own fates are looked upon by some as dangerous.

[prisoner007]

Oh well that because they so obviously are. I mean if you allow free love and women to decide their own fates then whats the point of marriage? And if there's no point to marriage then you might as well allow gays to marry and if you let gays marry then you have to allow people to marry animals and if you allow that the whole society comes crashing down.

[donnalee_kiss]

Well then let nobody be able to get married....nope, its gone. No more 'catching' a man, no more 'ownership' relationships, everybody has to be nice or else. Now lets talk about dangerous.....
