As children sex was a curiosity, as young teenagers we fantasized about it, and as adult's we chase after it. Sex has long since gone from being part of a mutual bonding between two persons who dearly love and care for each other, sex has become the focus of our daily lives.
Sex as we know it today is the cornerstone of almost every marketing campaign presented before us, it may be wrapped differently depending on the product but societies focus on sex is fast reaching chronic levels. Both men and women are focused on physical appearance today more than ever, the pressures to have and maintain the perfect body is paramount and plastic surgery is just one example of the growing trend. Television and the media has lead the sexual revolution and the internet launched it into hyperspace.
Sex is a very important part of life, and let's face it, the physical act of touching, caressing and exploring your partners body, satisfying your sexual needs can be a blissful and very bonding experience, not to forget it provides escape from the daily pressures in our lives, a chance to indulge our sexual fantasies, it's no little thing that sex registers over 90% on the importance scale within relationships.
Religious groups will tell you that pornography is sexual exploitation and is demeaning and humiliating, however societies viewpoint on pornography has changed drastically. The increasing pressures of today's world, pressures at work, the need to succeed have driven peoples attention to sex as a means of escape and pleasure.
Whilst pornography does provide an escape, a chance to fantasize and indulge our senses and curiosity we need to remember that sex is the marketing engine of the adult industry. Of course we know that right? we know those girls aren't real, those lovely DD's are just silicone, her long flowing hair is just hair extensions, the color of her eyes are just beauty lenses, the way they talk, walk, move, smile, it's all showbiz right? or is it?
Has the showbiz moved into our daily lives, “is sex everything it's cracked up to be?”
Is what we seeing playing out on the internet actually replaying itself in our daily lives, not just in the bedroom but at our place of work? What I'm talking about is sexual exploitation. Are we learning, or have we and our sexual opposites already learned ways of how to exploit each other daily without feeling any remorse?
Some would argue that women have always exploited men. As a man sees it, a womans body is a sight to behold, the curves, the touch and smell of her skin, beauty is an intoxicating drug for men, and woman know it, and have exploited mens weakness since the time of creation, so what's new?
Schools up. The internet has provided women with a wealth of information on how to strip-down and analyze mens needs and faults, how to manipulate and deceive, women have become mistresses of the art of seduction and the games and fantasies that are played out on the internet are spilling out into everyday life, and don't get me wrong it's not only women that exploit it's men too, however men and women aren't exactly playing with the same deck of cards. A man can't use his body as a sexual tool, to climb his way up the corporate ladder, doesn't or can't use his body in a way a woman can to seduce a wealthy individual of the opposite sex, to use him and discard him when the wallet has gone dry.
The “art of seduction” has changed to the “art of deceit” and women are masters of the art. In the real world, is the manner a woman conducts herself in the workplace and in her private life much different from the showbiz that gets played out on the internet 24 hours a day?
But what's really to blame here? is it sex or is there another hidden force behind all of this?
Materialism of today's world has played a massive part in the driving force of societies perceptions of what it needs and women more so than men, have fallen victim to materialism, the desire to get rich quick at any cost is the real psyche behind all of this sexual masquerade. The result womens material weakness is the driving force behind the sexual deception that is played out daily and men are the true victims.
So is pornography damaging society or is it really materialism that's the real cause?
Sex is an important part of our daily lives and we don't need to feel guilty about enjoying sex, pornography can and is, just a means of stimulating our desires, like anything, over indulgence can lead you into trouble, the adult industry provides a necessary time-out in today's society, know your weaknesses, learn from your mistakes and most of all “be on guard”.
I've been marketing adult websites for over ten years and I love sex, and I have never grown tired of looking at beautiful women, never. No matter how many times a picture of a naked woman is placed in front of me, the sight of a beautiful woman still stops me in my tracks. Do I hear whispers of sexual addiction?, definitely not, just a healthy and “normal” male talking.
