So... how about sex tonight?

Do you ever wonder how the modern world would look like if people would be truly free to express their opinions about sex and that would not be a tabu subject? I thought about it once.

So let's see, what if this conversation would be nothing but just a normal lunch conversation:
"- So I was thinking... how about you and I having sex this evening?
"- Oh... That's flattering but I am really not interested, sorry.

or
"- You know there is this thing I wanted to bring up.
"- ...
"- I was thinking that maybe tonight you would like to come over my place and have sex?
"- Oh, I am really glad you brought this up, I was going to say the same thing! What time shall we meet?
"- I know, let's first go to the cinema and see this great new movie, so we could meet at about 7?

or (a work coleague)
"I'm throwing a sex party tonight and you're all invited. Significant others are welcome, of course."

These would be perfectly ok, I guess. If I don't wanna go to that party I don't go, but at least I know what's it about.

And isn't this exactly what being adult is supposed to mean? Being able to say yes or no? I know you're going to say this is not as simple as that, sex is more complicated. Like women can't just say no because they don't want to hurt a man's feelings...

Well if they can't say no because they care more about "that man's feelings" than their own feelings and would even accept having sex with someone they don't want to because they wouldn't wanna risk hurting their feelings... ?!?! I would say that's a very different issue and needs to be addressed immediately, most likely through proper education. So on...

And what would become of the world if sex would not be as tabu? Well... one thing is for sure: people would not be fascinated about the looks of a blond that can't sing but promises to show more of her breasts with each show she has. Like Ms. Spears for example. And they would actually care more about the voice of a singer rather than the looks. Why? Simply because a sexually satisfied crowd cannot be as easily manipulated by "badly singing" blond breasts.

Is this independence desirable? No, of course not. Independent people cannot be made to buy things they don't need just because it gets them closer to the object of their adulation: the blond breasts, they can't sing of course, but are very well illustrated on the perfume box! You don't buy perfume, you don't need it, you buy the breasts, that is what you need :-)

Oh well, we are all slaves of our desires and sex is meant to be tabu so there is at least one desire marketing departments can take advantage of. And it all works really well.

So have fun now with this Google tech talk about: "sex on the internet, the realities of porn, sexual privacy" by Violet Blue... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1y9ysYNCKE
