Ahh...where is Ice-T
when you need him?
This entry has nothing to do with Ice-T, but rather with my humble opinion (relatives need read no further) that sex makes the world go 'round.
Of course there's the whole reproduction thing. Yes, that certainly increases our population. But that's not what I mean.
Someday soon I'm going back to school. I'm going back to get a master's degree so I can point out (officially) what I already know (instinctively): sex is what we all need.
For men, it's fairly simple: sex is natural, sex is fun, etc. For women, there's a whole socialization behind sexuality. Slut/Whore/Goddess/Saint/Virgin/Bitch. Which one shall I be today?
A person's sexual nature defines who they are in many ways. Sex (your definition of this term may vary by your politcal persuasion) wakes a person up. Whether alone or with other(s), sex takes you beyond the daily wear and tear of life. It makes you stop for a while (anywhere from 15 seconds to Sting's 5+ hours) and concentrate on this body you carry around with you all day. It's a form of meditation (or medication) in which you can let go and just be IN THE MOMENT.
Consensual sex is good for your self-esteem. Sex, it does a body good (pass it on).
I hear that many relationships end because of financial problems. I'm wondering if perhaps those financially strapped relationships would have lasted a little longer had they been strong sexually.
I feel like I'm rambling a bit here and not doing justice to my beliefs about the importance of a sex life (again, this doesn't have to involve others, but it helps I suppose), so I'll stop. But trust me, when I get that degree, I'll be able to prove it: sex is better than prozac.
Give it a try. Tell me if I'm right. :wink
