today i would like to post a question that i have been asking myself for years: what is so morally wrong about sex?
in the sense that it is a taboo to many to even speak of it let alone do it, especially between those who are not married.
i suppose many adults choose not to speak of it so that they would not influence kids to do it. well, i guess when they think that, they don't have in mind the fact that their kids are going to find out some way or the other, and that it is better that they hear about it from their parents rather than from their friends. and since most schools don't provide sex education, and parents feel weird talking to their kids about it, who is going to tell them about it? most likely their friends, who found out from some imbecile off the road, or read it in a magazine etc. so the imbecile tells the kid what happens and how to do it, but what they don't tell the kid is that there are dangers to it and how to protect himself/herself from the danger. so this kid thinks that this is a fun thing that is harmless, and maybe does it too. so what happens? the girl could get pregnant and then the guy and the girl probably would be forced into marriage, in their teens, and then pretty much their entire youths will be gone. i mean, abortion is possible, but then again it is illegal. but then again premarital sex here is too.
a lot of these cases actually do happen among teens. they're just kids! they are kids, having kids. if they have the kid, their futures would be ruined, they might have to discontinue their education and then the world would be short of two people who might otherwise have a large contribution to the world. today i was talking to my tuition teacher, and her 19 year old cousin is getting married because she is pregnant. and her friends little sister who is only 14 is already married, also because she got impregnated by some man she never prepared to have a kid or spend the rest of her life with.
apart from that there's also sexually transmitted diseases (STD), but since that is too utterly gross to write about here i shall not go into any detail. except for the fac that apparently it hurts like freaking hell and you can't pee without screaming.
shotgun weddings don't have to happen! so how do we prevent this kind of thing from happening? well. first of all we must make it a normal thing to talk about sex or at least have education about it. kids have to know that sex is how people are made. [that's right, pearl lynn. sorry you had to find out here.] statistics show that there really are significant decreses in the number of teens who have kids where there is sufficient sexual education. so that is one. another thing is that the government really has to stop telling people not have sex, because they still will. it's like when you put a a doughnut on the table and place a sign that says "do not eat" there, it becomes more tempting to eat it. what they really should be promoting is safe sex. you know, with condoms and other kinds of contraceptives. because you know, what is so morally wrong about sex?
"oh dear, her infidelity has just spilt all over the floor! can somebody help her?"
