Sex X.oooh.

This has been an interesting conversation about sex, porn, and the idea of beauty in our society. I will preface this by saying I will try to be as natural on the topic as possible. It seems to be a touchy subject with most people in our local community, so I won’t rock the boat...too much. 

The sexualization of our society has been one that has evolved with the advances in technology and is turning a taboo topic into a creature that is hard to destroy. What I mean by that can been seen in the way that movies and TV shows in the 1950s-60s' wouldn’t even show married couples in the same bed. I love Lucy is a classic example of this taboo idea that, heaven forbid, husbands and wives copulate. But today, on almost every TV show on almost every TV station, there is sex and the idea of sex being bombarded into our houses. Discovery Channel has the show "Naked and Afraid', TLC has "Sister Wives", and History channel has "Vikings". These are television stations that have typically been an information gathering channel has turned to, al some times, low-culture viewing. 

Now low-culture viewing has really hit rock bottom in the objectification, oversexualization and objectification of both men and women. These shows are popping up on every station and now comes to life on the cellphone that your 12 son carries to school in his pocket. 

That culture is now being spread to adolescents, where recently over 100 students were involved in a "sexting "ring in Virginia, apps like snapchat that destroys nudes that teens send, and even secrets decoy apps that are designed to trick parents to the actual use of the app. 

But on the other hand, this "ideal" image of what is sexy to a man is all created in order to create money. Makeup, high heels, breast implants, thong panties, are some of the COUNTLESS ways women are exploited to make money. They are given unrealistic expectations of what "beauty" is. I have seen PLENTY of classmates get boob jobs for their graduation presents or their 18th birthdays. Beauty to me is confidence, personality, loyalty, honesty, intelligence, smiles, a warm heart and love. I know that may sound cheesy, but I have met some physically attractive females with an ugly personality that have stayed ugly to me. As an older man, I have been around the block a few times to know that looks fade, but personality stays once all that superficial B.S. is gone. If she can make me laugh, poke fun at and with me, gets my weirdness that is a win in my book.
