Why does society frown upon being sex possitive?

Because sex is overrated, and it's pushed to the ridiculous extreme as a virtue that no other natural process seems to get.

You can't eat? You die.
You can't sleep? You die.
You can't breathe? You die.
You can't eliminate? You die.

You can't get laid? You'll live.

You can't be 'celibate' with any of these other processes save for sex and hope to come out of the experience alive. No man or woman has ever died from not getting laid, yet people push and pressure other people into it, even when it can be detrimental to that person. And before people say 'Oh but we need sex to continue as a species!' Well, it's one thing if the person is ready for it and wants to have a baby, not when they get pressured into it through societal pressure that they aren't really an 'adult' until they had it, even as that makes no biological sense.


And as for sex workers? How freeing and good is it when you use your own horniness to justify using that woman/man as a commodity? Then you ought to then just cut off your own wanker, because it's just a useless and troublesome organ that you don't need if it leads you to act less then civilized. It's not progressive if you have to literally use someone just to get your rocks off, even if you want to claim to abstain is just a remnant of some older part of the culture that you consider 'prudish.'

Again we have polarizing extremes. Sex should be approached with reasonable precautions, and everyone has their own comfort levels. When a woman's breast causes months of controversy, be it a nip slip or famous artwork, then it has gone too far. The backlash seems to be sensationalizing sex which isn't much better.

There's a happy medium between random copulation in the streets, or throwing a loincloth on David. I don't think the act of sex is either moral or immoral. It's the responsible handling of adjacent issues that is important.

I think its primarily the religious teachings and indoctrination for thousands of years by Christianity and Islam etc that sex is bad and you should be ashamed of thinking about having sex and its only ok if your married. You also have the slut shaming as well we also have the sex wars of the 80s over pornography between sex possitive feminists and sex negative feminists as well as religious people. In my opinion porn is ok as long as the lady and the guy are enjoying themselves and not forced into it. Prostitution could work if legalized and regulated and with proper protection etc and as long as the sex worker enjoys what he or she is doing. Society also tends to frown upon exhibitionism and deem it as taboo. The interesting thing is other cultures are very open sexually and fine with sexuality it is a natural thing it shouldn't be shunned upon but it is. You mention you like sex and think about it a lot your either labled a pervert or a slut.

I think sex is necessary for good health. People repress this need because we've attached so much importance to it. It's a biological function. Once it becomes disassociated from marriage and child-rearing, we will all be a lot better off.

People in the US think that only rapists think about sex.

I am indifferent towards sex, if you have sex with someone that is your business, but you need to think long and hard about the consequences. As for me, I am not interested in sex at this point of my life.
