Did it just get hotter in here?
Listening to… “If U Seek Amy” – Britney Spears
Sex. Oh wow, a forbidden fruit in today’s society. A ‘hush hush’ topic for teens everywhere. First I would like to start off by saying this, do not leave comments if you choose to live a chaste life and feel that SEX [oh gosh] should be kept a secret treasure until marriage or whatever, and you feel that everything I say is wrong. Just shut the hell up and leave. Also, don’t make fun of my choice in music for this blog, because I love Britney, so hah.
I remember watching one of my favorite shows, and an obscure quote, at least, I thought, at the ripe age of 14, was this. ‘We are Generation S.E.X. baby. Can’t live without. It surrounds us.’ Keep in mind, this particular episode, was from 2006, at the latest. I’ve now realized that we, as teenagers in 2009, have not only surpassed Generation S.E.X, rather, we have gone and created our own generalization of society. Generation Y. The Y mainly to suit the fact that every word that I can think of, with perversion [ie: dirty, horny, sexy, baby, etc...] almost always ends in Y. Maybe this is just what I like to call my peers. Regardless, I can proudly state that I can be categorized as a proud card carrying member of Generation Y. I think because my parents are so open about speaking about the topic of sex, or related topics, that I can comfortably speak on this subject, despite my large lacking in the field of intercourse. Recently I have looked around me, and this is what I see: horny teenagers. Myself included. It isn’t a bad feeling. It shouldn’t be a feeling that makes you feel ailenated. We all are thinking the same thing, or somewhat same thing, at some point in our young years. Now, at what age you are exposed to these suggestive topics/ideas and when you begin to actually incorporate them in your life, is up to you and your family. I do not agree with exposing underage children, by definition of the term, 12 years and younger, with sexual content. Purely because at that age, I had more important things to be worrying about [ie: puberty, middle school drama, crushes, chores...] rather than if said person ‘got my gears grinding’ and if I would act on said feelings.
Right now, I could sit here, in my bed, on my laptop, with access to thousands of sexually charged images, music [Lady Gaga *cough & drool*], videos and novels and fulfill that ‘burning sensation’ that they so well described in our limited Sex Ed. in middle school. [Don't even get me started on the lack of education on the topic of sex. It is why many diseases are spread and why healthy sex, isn't present in many areas.] It is like that for millions of young people across the country. And to be honest, curiosity grabs hold of the majority of those people. However, the difference between the ability to access said sexual media and using it in a mature way and doing it and acting recklessly with such material, is what sets the standards for inappropriate, and normal in amongst our society. My father told me that my 13 year old brother, looking at nude pictures on the computer and downloading Girl of the Month videos from our video on demand service, was natural and healthy for a boy his age. Note the fact that he said boy. If I were to start watching what he watched, which I can raise a guilty hand to sneaking a peek a few times, would be considered outrageous and abnormal behavior for a girl my age. Where, in our society has it been stated that fulfilling ones sexual questioning, that sounds completely off of what I meant, but whatever, for a woman, is wrong? Now I am not encouraging my friends who are girls, mother or even American women as a whole, to act on my words and go rent any Porno that peaks your interest. I am simply stating, why can’t a girl, my age, do the same thing a guy can in terms of ’scratching our itch’? I sound like a total pervert, but if you think about it, maybe you’ll realize there is some truth behind my words.
So yes, I will own up to having dirty thoughts, to quenching the thirst of sexual frustration and to being a pervert, because that is normal. In my eyes, let your hormones loose, in a respective way at least. If you took a graph of the hours at which male and females in America have horny/dirty/perverted thoughts per day, although the male side may have a signifigantly higher rate, you’ll see that it isn’t a estranged feeling for females as well.
Please don’t take anything I post in here as me making crude statements, and misinterpret what I am saying. I do NOT think about jumping every guy or girl I see and humping them. I do NOT think about sex 24/7. Yet, I also feel that we should not be ashamed of what we are, which is human. Humans are made from SEX! If you choose to be a prude [no offense meant] and to crawl into a cave of naive behavior, by all means, you are entitled to your choices, but do not attempt to force a chastity belt on me, or silence my voice, which can freely say, I am a sexual being.
