Home | Internet & Businesses Online It is common knowledge that human sexuality is an important part of one's existence. The emphasis here is on 'part' of one's existence as opposed to the 'totality' of one's existence. However, after browsing some of the profiles on myspace.com, it is apparent that sexuality plays a large part of one's outward appearance to the world of other people -- strangers. It is as if the great majority of people use their sexuality to lure, and then to entertain other people -- some of whom become 'friends.' That's an interesting concept -- friends who use seduction and fantasy as a modus operandi. Rather than friendship being a relationship between two people who care, nature, and who ultimately want the best for the other, it is nothing more than a vehicle to reduce the other to his or her physical parts for the ultimate sake of one's own pleasure. In other words, friendship is equated to selfishness. I realize that this type of understanding is part of the adolescent experience; however there are those 'adults' who never grow out of this. Part of the reason for this, in my mind, is that people equate maturing to being stalked by death. "As long as I look young, act young, do youthful things, and believe in my 'Peter Pan' youthfulness, then I'll never die." Death comes anyway -- even to the young. What is heartbreaking is that there are those out there who feel and understand that they themselves are no more than the physical beings of pleasure that other people want them to be. Their self-worth is a function of the number of sexual partners; the depth of their feelings runs only as far as the greatest synaptic firing inside their pleasure center of their brain. How animalistic. How reductionistic. How depressing -- to think that one's potential is expressed in terms of sexual seduction and fantasy. What happened to poetry? What happened to reading a good book? What happened to having great friends who want nothing but the best for themselves and for other people -- at the same time! One attracts what one is. In other words, if you, the reader, want to be in a loving relationship, then it is important that you yourself become loving. If you wish to be understood by other people, then it is utterly important that you understand other people. If you wish mercy and forgiveness to be shown to you, then it is no surprise that you yourself must be merciful and forgiving. If you are one of those who are trapped in the world of sexual excitation -- realize that you ARE human. Know that the sun will rise tomorrow to expose all that the night attempts to conceal. Rise above the animal world of pleasure to a place where your humanity can shine forth and re-interpret your own sexuality to become something very beautiful. Sex is not evil. It is not bad. But if it is the only existence that one has, then that existence depends upon the acceptance and physical experience with others. Imagine that. YOUR existence depends on OTHERS. That's called slavery. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
