Sex- Where Should The Line Be Drawn?

[Rainbowhawk1993]

Movies, Television, Music and Tablodes. It's everywhere!

Sure it can be expressed for Human Nature, beauty and love, but mostly what happens is that it is expressed too often, too far and in just revolting manors- and some people think it's OK.

I Apsolutely don't like sex being the main thing in Comadies because I think it's just wrong to laugh at something totally uncalled for. An example of what I hate is "Family guy" (Yes, I Have the guts to say no to it.) I just thing Sex and animation don't go together at all.

When I'm at school, quite alot of kids just gossup about it almost all the time: Like who had better sex last night and about poron. And alot of kids use the word "Rape" as a suppstitute for beat-up. That just sickens me.

However I am not totally agenst it. I believe it does show values of bueaty and love when it is not used in a disturbing manor. Like in some serous themed movies, it can express love and emotion. I belive that sex can be used in movies and tv shows moderatly and at a steady level to satisfy some of the urges that we have (lets face it, alot of us here would just growl for Neytiri).

When sex is shown in its true, emotional form, I have nothing against it being shown anywhere.

However, when it comes down to nothing but making money our of our sexual urges - it is something I strongly oppose.

That is me right there. Sex is for expressing beauty, not for making money.

It annoys me when my friends talk about sex in the ways they do.... They think of the outside feelings of it rather than the inside feelings.. If that makes any sence?

[Eltu]

Yup, I know exactly what you mean, and completely agree.

My classmates does that all the time, and it annoys me equally.

[Hunter of the Glade]

When your classmates talk about that sh** that's when you pull one of these.

I hate this too. Some of my friends speak about sex not mentioning any emotional level, only physical feeling. I seriously hate(well, I don't argue but feel bad) when soone tells me that he/she likes to have sex with soone else without knowing the person well (first day sex, on the party etc), or what is the worst example - just because some physical need for it...
Maybe I am too "old fashioned"(but I am not old in age ), I don't know, but I somehow feel incompatible with majority of society.

Your not alone, I feel the same way but I try not to let it get to me.

recently, there has been a commercial for a refrigerator featureing a lovely woman in a short black dress and red stilettos.

using sex to sell appliances

if you think that anyone has gone too far, then ask yourself if sex gets your attention, and you'll know if they haven't gone far enough

Sex is part of our daily lives. It's necessary for our continued existence. While I find people making fun of such things sick in my vision, I see no logical reason why they can't.

[Woodsprite]

I completely agree... I'm probably more adament about this subject than you. To quote Advent...

Mhm. So is diarrhea. But I wouldn't classify it as a source for entertainment.

Sex as entertainment is wrong. Sex as a part of explaining some part of a story in film is an entirely different ball game. If showing some sort of sexual activity is a vital (or supplementary, yet essential) part of a plot to a storyline in a movie, by all means. Show it. Does it need to be as explicit as "Monster's Ball" or as unnecessary as "Domino"? No. It doesn't.

By the way, Family Guy is trash.

Woodsprite, I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. I love the rebuttle.

I gotta agree with most of you here. I really like how Stanley_9875 puts it:

and its like, "really? do you have no self respect or respect for others?"

But is sex wrong or bad? HECK NO! Its a beautiful thing, and I can't wait for me to receive it with my life partner

Sometimes, I feel like there is a balance. Sex does not have to be taboo. Obviously it isn't in this thread. But it shouldn't be something you flaunt. For heaven's sake, keep your MARRIAGE BED pure and to yourself. Sex is something so beautiful and it emotionally attaches two together. You wonder why breakups are so difficult and why people are so messed up is because they created an emotional bond with someone who they aren't even married to or even dating!

My girlfriend had a hard time moving on from her ex because they almost took it too far. She was craving that same thing and my relationship suffered because what she did in the past (but I still loved her all the same). So remember that what you do has an impact on both people and the people to come in both of your lives.

The idea of rules and sex is a rather interesting topic. It appears that we already have a form of rules regarding sexual behavior in the form of social rules. Interactions within a society and between societies seem to be the basis for which morals arise, so it would seem logical that such rules (which seem to have a connection with one's moral outlook) would stem from society. It seems easy to understand why incest, pedophilia, and bestiality tend to be looked down upon - either they are destructive to the society in one form or another or they offer no benefit (plus, consent is generally lacking for two of those activities). Other sexual activities, such as one night stands, are a little more complex in that they don't have a clear negative (or positive) impact on society, but do have an impact on the individuals involved. Thus, the implicit rules of society tend to be rather gray for certain sexual activities.

I laughed, too; but, I think if diarrhea is a part of your daily life, you should see a doctor...

I just read this thread and really don't know where to start.


-> I've grown up with understanding of sex form an early age, seriously, and yet I don't go out ****ing people for the fun of it.

Also, The discussion in this thread as of late has moved to if it's okay to have a one night stand, and there's something i'd like to point out here.

Sex -> Something meaningless, just for pleasure, no feelings involved.
Making Love -> something special.

You may understand what i'm getting at here, if you are having sex just for pleasure there are no feelings involved, no kissing, no hugging, just sex. But when 'Making Love' you do feel something, something special.

(I just read what I wrote there and realized... There's no trolling! 0.o I must be going soft.)
