all things sex
So, I’m sure that most of you have noticed… I draw pervy things.
I know, I know… I should be ashamed of myself… such filth… tsk tsk tsk… but here’s the thing. I’m a lover of all things sex. No matter if it’s sex and art, societies attitude towards sex, sex culture here and around the world, the history of sexuality, sex and religion or any of the hundreds of fetishes, I love it all. It fascinates me to no end. I love talking about how we as a society and as individuals have come to the stance on sex that we currently have and how we’re apt to change. And it’s not just me, my wife also shares the same interest on it and has talked a history of sexuality in university.
We’ve had many a conversation about who we are as children and our experiences leading up to some of our first sexual experience will shape our likes and dislikes in regards to sex… and it only grows from there as we get older! How interaction with you parents will influence on your choice of partner in the future. How the Catholic Church seems to have this downward look on sex but in their own Bible it says that God made man in his own image, and if we’re sexual creatures, wouldn’t that mean that God is sexy too? Why some of us so against nudity? How some people become sexual predators and dangerous side of sex (because sex isn’t always fun for everyone). About how the internet has connected people with like interests so you don’t have to feel alone if you happen to like certain things (because there is always someone out there that will share you interest). Open relationships and do they really work or does it just look good on paper. We’ve talked about zillion different fetishes like pony play, cartoon porn, porn addicts, bondage, bestiality and pedophilia , clown fetishes, lactation fetishes, shaving fetishes (as in people that shave their entire bodies!), water sports, etc, etc, etc… Also about sexual attitudes of other countries and though out history Like how we’re no longer in the Victorian age but we still hang on to a lot of the views and attitudes from that time. Plus so many other topics…
And if I’m not talking about sex, I’m watching it. Not pornos.. but documentaries. In fact, SexTV is my favorite channel. It has all sorts of specialty shows and documentaries on sex (duh!) with no bi est to any one culture, sexuality or topic. It really is a wonderful channel, but I think it’s only available in Canada.
Some of us fight to not be sexual creatures but it’s something that we’ll never be able to escape from… and why should we? Sex, nudity and all the things that go along with them make us who we are and we should not deny our selves that pleasure. There is such a variety of flavors out there that everyone will be able to find something that they like. Weather it be having your partner pour hot wax on you or just the joy you get when you look at dirty furry pictures, it’s all utterly fascinating to me and I could talk about it forever.
I’ll also throw in there that I’m a love of the act of sex too. Woo!!! Am I ever! Now don’t get me started on that topic… I’ll save it for another post.

I am right with you, talking about the peculiarities of sexual (possibly ‘deviant’) practices is very entertaining. However, I am sometimes amazed/frightened by peoples opinions about sex. For example, I once had a coworker say something that was not merely antithetical to my views on sexuality, but was also absolutely insane. He said that he “would rather have [his] kids do drugs than have sex.” Just to be clear, I asked whether he was talking about relatively tame drugs (alcohol, marijuana, etc…) or something more serious. No indeed, he assured me that he would rather have a full-blown heroin addict for a son/daughter than have him/her engage in sexual activities. To make it even more bizarre, while he was explaining his reasons — his concern was for moral health, not physical health/safety — for thinking that sex was worse than drug use, he admitted to believing that safe sex was more morally reprehensible than unprotected sex. Wow! I had no idea how to handle this. I tried to point out that people under the influence of mind-altering drugs are more likely to engage in morally questionable activity (i.e. sex), but he didn’t seem to care. In that case, it would be the effects of the drug that are responsible for the activity, not the individual. Anyway, it was obvious that his opinions were purely dogmatic. No matter what evidence he was given for the dangers of addiction and the relative innocence of sex, he would not change his mind. I might just think ‘cest la vie,’ and not be bothered by his beliefs, but the fact that he has kids and might pass these beliefs onto them unnerves me, not to mention that I feel really sympathetic toward his kids. I can just imagine ‘the talk’ might go in his household: Son, sex is evil, and contraception of any kind will send you straight into Old Nick’s waiting arms. Now let me tell you about safe drug use. You don’t ever want to share needles with….

Even though I was brought up catholic, I never had a problem with the idea of sex. (Even in the Bible, God’s first command to Adam and Eve was “Be fruitful and multiply.”) I like looking at naked women and acts of sex as any other guy would. Although, I am in the opinion that not everyone looks good naked. (I’m one of them. If I walked onto a public beach in a speedo, there would be a mass vomiting incident.) Aesthetically, to me, the female body looks better than the male. Women have curves, countours, a softer look and feel. The female body looks like it was designed by a master artist. The male body, on the other hand, looks like it was designed by a panel of accountants looking to cut corners. Its ungraceful, awkward, and quite hairy (again, me.) That women would want to have sex with us lumbering, apish men is truly a wonder of nature.
