Let's talk about SEX - part i

Growing up listening to the titled song was more of a statement and how it has with times kept changing. So, let’s really talk about sex more than ever before and see how it is being perceived and what it symbolizes across cultures.

Sex! Ah that 3-letter word, and how it has been the bane of contention for centuries and generations. So why exactly is Sex such a beautiful expression at times and also be the most perverse intention? What makes it so reclusively congenial.

Sex as definition is ‘another word for making love’, but if you actually search the internet there is no meaningful definition of sex without using sexual activity or sexual intercourse in it. Sex as a word has no independent meaning without involving the word itself in it. Such is the incertitude of human definition of the word SEX. If sex were to be a person it would be most ill-defined, objectified, confused and misunderstood individual to ever exist.

Men and women define sex based on their sociologically tuned interactive conscious evaluations. So the definition of sex; Men seek sex in abundance and something they can never have enough of while women pursue sex as a secondary instinct. For men, sex is a mere primal instinct while for women it is more of love, intimacy and romance.

This inherent difference varies from culture to culture and from person to person which again redefines sex. This primal instinct of never enough isn't a male privilege anymore or pressured to be so. Females too have this insatiable appetite to seek more of it.

There is also this abundance of socially induced stereotypes that add up to the already confusing  definition of sex and these are stupidly male centric..
For example: Sex is physical and visual for men while it is personal and emotional for women. Men have sex for stimulating his hormones while women for psychological gratification. Unfortunately, men defined the word sex based solely on his convoluted perception without an imprimatur from women.

Sex to me is complex phenomenon that can be as much psychological as biological which can motivate intimate interpersonal relationships apart from the physical sensual pleasures and excitement. Sex I prefer to is strictly an enthusiasm of pure consent and never coercion.

Even though sex is in itself an innate fundamental function of procreation of the human species, it is also a complex paradox than mere evolutionary instinct to procreate. Sex has evolved from physical copulation to digital pornography to virtual simulation.

The digression of sex and its ultimate evolution isn’t a thing of the present but has been around centuries continuing to encourage perverse sexual proclivities ranging from pedophilia to necrophilia.

Sex is no more a natural chemical factory emitting dopamine, endorphins, serotonin and oxytocin, it is slowly becoming more banal and mechanical often showing carnal and animalistic behaviour.

Sex for better or worse can be seen drawings its influences and conclusions from family, society, religion and culture. Sex is gloriously celebrated as a way of life in some cultures while it is a taboo to even talk about in some cultures. For religions sex is a sin and a carnal demonic engagement while some have temples built in expression of sexual glory.

So what exactly is this SEX.

For some very few it is a simple physical exertion coupled with harmonal release and the pulsating climatic ecstasy of an orgasm (orgasms); ultimately substantiating their very existence as humans.

For some of the other few...

Shall ponder more on SEX its cultural influences, it's  abused version and other such intricates in my next post.
