Sexuality is a very present issue in human life and is directly related to reproduction. Sex, in addition to being a behavior related to human reproduction, has also become a social act of exchange of affection or pleasure. One of the questions is: what is the role of sex in today’s society?
Throughout history sexuality has been lived in different ways, there have been periods of small sexual liberation, as well as more puritanical ones, today we live in a time when sex plays a curious role, despite sexual liberation in recent decades, sexuality remains an embarrassing problem in some contexts.
- However.
- While this remains taboo.
- There are references to sex everywhere.
- From advertising to private conversations of a group of friends.
- Sex would be that ghost that is and isn’t.
- For many.
- This is a vital goal that exceeds many other needs.
- So is sex in society a taboo or an obligation?In this article we will look at the two perspectives for an answer.
Mentioning the words ‘vagina‘, ‘penis’, ‘intercourse’, ‘condom’, etc. , in some contexts, leads many people to put their hands on their heads, it is curious that something as basic as sexuality still causes these reactions. In addition, taboo is not limited to “politically correct” situations, but is also found in many families or even schools or institutes. It seems that sex is not a family or school problem.
Sex in society is considered taboo, especially in the family or in education, and this has serious consequences, which throughout our lives will have its own role, both in terms of biological and social development, if we treat sexuality as shameful and ignore it, we will have poor sexual education. Good sex education needs an honest and open dialogue.
Sex education is based on the development of the individual as a means to live sexuality in a healthy way, it is necessary to review the causes of sexual dysfunction and its high prevalence in the population, most problems related to sex are the result of anxiety associated with sex This is largely due to the multiple myths and prejudices about sexuality.
Sexuality is an essential part of our lives and, if we want to live it in a rewarding way, we cannot treat it as taboo, only through education, research and dialogue will we end the myths that surround it. .
Contrary to the vision of sexual taboo, we also find that sex permeates our environment, the clearest example is advertising, where everyday ideas are mixed with sex, to sell an ice cream or shampoo they put an image of a woman having an orgasm There are also movies and series in which sex is presented disproportionately or even occupies a central role.
The problem is not that sex is shown everywhere, the problem is that it is unrealistic and exacerbated, advertising, film and pornography manage to make sex a goal of vital importance, although there are still several types of taboos, sex in society has become a necessity.
This is reflected in a multitude of easily observable events in our daily lives. It’s easy to imagine the shame and anxiety a teen or young person feels about being still a virgin, or a person’s anguish at meeting their partner’s sexual expectations. show us the toxicity of seeing sex as an obligation.
It’s not healthy to see sex as a taboo or an obligation. Unrealistic expectations and social pressures cause anxiety that leads to dysfunctions and sexual disorders of various types.
It is important to change our vision of sex, to stop seeing it as a taboo or obligation, sexuality is a set of human behaviors that can bring many benefits to anyone, we must not make the mistake of hurting them with poor sex education or a distorted vision of the role of sex in society.
