The World Revolves Around Sex (& probably money too, but mostly SEX!)

Why do humans act like animals when it comes to sex? 
It's so annoying to me. 

Yes, I agree SEX is nice, fun, feels good and all that jazz, but really, too many people just lose their head over it. I think conditions are getting worse as time goes on!

TV shows, commercials, movies, cartoons and just EVERYTHING these days completely revolves around sex, and if it doesn't, then, sex is the secondary plot line.

I don't mean to sound like a prude here, kids, but some, "things" are meant to be left private and special between two people. (Or whatever it is you do behind closed doors.) We are teaching our youth that their bodies are not to be respected, that it's ok to share themselves with any ole Tom, Dick, or Harry.

We are teaching this generation that sex is as casual as a handshake. That's just gross! As my mom would say, "You don't know where that's been!"

I can not believe how advanced kids are today compared to when I was in elementary school and in junior high. So many of them are sexually active at such young ages, and babies are having babies. We need to do something about it. I have no idea what?...Maybe, parents need to start taking part in raising their own children and not relying on daycare service, and I'm sure bringing God back into our schools, could not hurt either.

Now days, I can't turn on the television with out seeing something, revolving around sex. My husband tells me, "well SEX sells!" Why is that? Are we all that easily manipulated? I say, SAD TIMES! The television isn't the only culprit either, our music, (as much as I hate to say it,) has become so dirty and nasty. Our kids are running around singing these filthy lyrics, and not thinking a thing about it! These songs I wouldn't listen to in front of my own parents with out blushing. I feel that society has gone out of control, and there is probably no going back now.

I wish that our youth could keep their innocence longer. I wish that parent's could be the ones to explain sex to their own children, before the world has the chance to warp, taint and mutilate the most beautiful thing God intended, for two married people, who love each other, to share and conceive in love.

I believe the purity of love has been corrupted and this is part of the reason there is so much divorce and adultery. Love, a deep seeded connection, is confused with lust, which never lasts.

Marriage has become a short-term convenience instead of a forever commitment, and it's not taken seriously anymore. Why? Is it because there are too many fringe benefits to being married? Is it because we seem to look at married people as fashionable, rather than the misfit singles? Whatever it is, I do think it has some impact on the way, we as a culture perceive, and teach our youth about sexuality.

Sex is beautiful, but our society and media make it seem dirty, vile and naughty. We need to bring back the virtue and innocence. What you do in private is your business, but you don't need to tell the world about it either, there are easily susceptible percipience everywhere.

It's been relevant for decades, since the "Sexual Revolution", but it just seems to be getting worse and worse and going down hill. I don't think this was ever a concern for me as much as it is now that I have been noticing the little ones in my life with these symptoms. I must be getting older and wiser, if only what I know now, I had known back when it was early enough to do something to change. Damn, the age old regret of hindsight always being 20/20.

Times change, I get that, but when they are not changing for the better it's time to start doing something about it. I just hope parents follow suite and that it's not too late to make a significant difference for a better future.
