I think modern society is too oversexed

By "modern society" I mean North American and European societies nowadays.

To be clear, I know sex is a 100% normal part of life. It is a good thing and there is nothing to be ashamed about it. However, I think there is WAY too much emphasis on sex nowadays. What are supposed to be normal ads often include softcore porno, and of course, "The internet is for porn". Also, for things to be humourous to adults, it almost always must contain sex jokes. I realize that it is normal, but so is pooping. But that doesn't mean that we should brag about how good our last poop is, deride people for not pooping in every toilet they see, or smear feces on every single bulletin board.

I do like sex jokes and whatnot, but I think modern society is too saturated with sex in everything. It's like a 10 ton cake which is 99% hi-fat icing, or a hamburger loaded with lard. It's ridiculous.

Is it normal to hold this view?

    I don't agree :/

    I think certain industries rely on sex too much to sell products (the music industry, for example), but in my every day life - aside from when I'm having sex or watching porn - I don't come across sexual content that frequently. From my experience, the amount of it in the media is pretty much equal to the amount we think and care about sex, which I wouldn't say is to an unhealthy degree.

    Actually, the USA is far less of a sexual country than any number of countries in Europe. And if you look back at different civilizations in history, you'll find that everyday life now is MUCH less sexual.

    I think there is so much emphasis on it because it has been repressed. If people were less prudish it wouldn't be as big of a deal

    ..and i disagree with your views on poop.

    I live in the south of Europe were sex sometimes seems more important than food.
    One big difference from other places as far as I understand. Most people talk very little about, they do it instead of, mainly in Catholic countries like Italy, France, Portugal or Spain sex means a lot.

        It must be like anyware else and this days women do cheat as much as men.
        For what I know contacting people in several places around the globe I don't think its neither more neither less.

    • Of course, but that's not the point. The thing I'm trying to say is that I think these days there is WAY too much sex in the media and such. Age has nothing to do with my point.

    I think the people who are bragging about sex are getting laid the least.

    It's a normal view, though I don't necessarily agree with all of it. Sex jokes are just bad comedy. The greatest comedians don't rely on them. So your view on that front is fine. But the overarching view of oversexualization is myopic IMO. People have always had constant sexual pressures and urges, the major difference in the times is the artistic expressions of these. The increased acceptance of sex in the public sphere has had a positive effect on our society, allowing people with different sexualities and sexual preferences to express themselves more fully and with less prejudice. Also, being more frank about sexuality allows youngsters to get better information about sex, ultimately keeping them safer. So while it can get a little old and boring sometimes, there are benefits that outweigh that. And it's always better to be able to talk openly rather than be repressed about one's opinions.

    I think you are way off base, if the posts on here are to be believed.
    It seems there are an amazing number of people on here who are completely asexual, homosexual, completely confused about their sexuality and completely unable to even speak with the opposite sex. If this is an accurate cross section of society today, I do not believe that the human race will survive.
    A far cry from a society that puts "WAY too much emphasis on sex".

            Why is it no matter what screen name you use, all you can post about is cocks? Is yours so very, very tiny, that you'd forget it was even there, if you don't keep reminding yourself that it really, really does exist, even if it takes a magnifying glass to find it?
            Honestly, no one gives a crap about your lil tiny dicky, no one at all.
