sex sells

[Misha]

why is sex starting to become more and more in our daily lives. not just sex itself, but the idea. The less clothes is the "style" now. people posing for myspace pictures half naked. im a VERY conservative person, but at moments i give in and take some "naughty" pictures. but why. why do we do these things. why do we like it.

lol that is a good point actually...considering they used to even hide things such as Elvis moving his hips

I like it bcos it what human being deserve to make life sweet

My thoughts exactly.

I see that stuff too, even societies that are more open sexually don't have children as sexualized as here in the US; it's because we promote sexuality to young people directly, plus we don't give them the knowledge on things like sex, and basically set ourselves up for failure. I'll say this, if abstinence-only education worked, we wouldn't have 1 million teen pregnancies in the US every year.

i agree with a lot of you guys, but the rest of you. i just dont understand where you are coming from at all! LOL. but yes. kids these days (younger than 8) have cell phones, short shorts, saggy pants. i mean come on. wouldnt you think parents or elders would want to stop any of this?!! im sorry but i miss living the "innocent" life of a little 5yr old walking the street to the damn store in the ghetto not having to worry about anything. idk. ever since technology has progressed we've (media) have been pushing the limits of what can be shown on tv, without worrying about complaints or what could happen down the line. sex is suppose to be between 2 people in their damn room with the door shut. dressing less should stay in the house. or for night clothes. not on the streets where little girls will be...

innocence...one helluva word there
is innocence not knowing what is wrong
is innocence knowing whats wrong and not doing it

while i agree kids should be allowed to be 'innocent' far longer than they are these days, and somethings shouldnt be forced upon them, it is the parents responsibility to censor children, not societys
allowing your kids to see this only increases their curiosity and acceptance of it

besides, nudity is only as wrong as the people saying its wrong
christians: was it wrong for adam and eve to run around naked before hte consumption of the fruit?
evolutionists: was it wrong for cavemen to run arround naked before they figured out if you skin the critters you can wear its skin?

i just want to know where you would draw the line....its a touchy topic, but, in the end it is still up to the arent to raise the kiddos into faschist likeminded xerox copies of everything they werent when they were kids

because people's seem to be more and more desensitized to things these days. i'm not just talking about sex either, look at how it is with violence now. you're exposed to it at such a young age and people don't seem to have a problem showing it to children, who then turn around and want to dress like adults at ten years old. thats why you have all these little kids on myspace wearing skimpy clothes, taking revealing pictures and thinking its the cool thing to do.

violence is more prevalent now? these things have been there forever, media is the catch all that puts in front of us, if anything violence is at a miniscule rate compared to what it was pre 1900

there just wasnt news coverage of every murder, rape, prostitution ring, mayor stopping at the adult novelty store...now they make it sensational by putting it on our tvs all day...that is why it seems more prevalent, period, people always have been psychopathic rapists and murderers, like it or not we are everyone capable of these things, to say your not is a lie to yourself

whether you do it or not is merely a choice you have to make, maybe you dont think so, but then everyone is wrong from time to time

[bent]

indeed, its amusing to me how people will wonder why these things go on, but they keep the raings high....so of course they will get talked about

other countries dont focus on this stuff like we do, its all a part of the keep them scared and timid and undercontrol....thank ou government, thanks for the cold war, and all that has ensued

[bent]

slap your duff? that gets my vote

and its all good, i comment back peeps all the time, even if they are just hating on me, it gets my jollies off

[Aleada]

wow, i didn't even say half of what you put up there. my point was this: when something is more and more in your face, then it's less likely to shock people and make them feel like it's out of place. when you turn on the tv and see chicks shaking their ass in barely there clothing, it doesn't seem that uncommon for children to do the same thing. since children take their ques from adults, when they see adults doing it, adults loving it, then it seems like the right thing to do. i never said it wasn't a choice that was to be made.
