Another Rant

Yup, I'm ranting again.  This time it isn't a personal issue.  (As I predicted, I don't care about that anymore.)

Sexuality isn't something that should be repressed!

Any time something has overtly sexual content, some repressed advocate stands up and says it is obscene and not natural or children should be shielded from it.  I'm sorry but I disagree.

Now if something violent comes out, the protests still happen, but they are ignored or quietly go away eventually.  Look at the evening line of television and on every station you will find at least one show that revolves around the perpetration of violence.  (Yes you will find equally sexual emphasis but only in the later time slots.)

I understand that one could potentially go their entire lives without either sex or violence.  It would be extremely difficult but it is possible.  But I want to point out that of the two sex is much more "natural" than violence.  Every human being has sexual feelings, especially during puberty.  While it could be said that most human experience violent feelings as well it is, for the most part, not nearly as constant or extreme as those sexual feelings.  Sex is natural.  It is what continues the human race.  And we have been repressing it for centuries.

I listen to a radio show where one of the hosts will gladly allow his child to watch a violent movie yet frantically shield them from any and all sexual content.  This makes no sense to me.  I understand that both sex and violence are a part of life but extreme repression of sex over violence puzzles me.  As a society it should be the other way around.
