So don't get me wrong I like sex, its fun, overall it's fine I just think it's way to over hyped we talk about sex like it's the be all end all of pleasure when in actuality its the biggest pain in the ass to initiate and once you do it's alot of stress trying to make sure both parties are satisfied and nobody looks like an idiot. I may not be the foremost in authority having only had the once experience thus far but in my opinion it really wasn't worth it, but like I said I'm certainly not the authority so please feel free to weigh in and tell me why I'm the world's biggest idiot
Sex is the one real "goal" in life. We are genetically predisposed to mate, even if we have no interest in having children, the primal instinct to mate is still there, and fulfilling that instinct is the purest form of satisfaction there is to be had. Everything else in life, by comparison, is transient at best. We struggle to find meaning in our lives, we struggle to find meaning in our relationships with others. But sex is so much simpler, it is always there to remind us of what we want at our most basic level. That is why we crave it so much. At least, that's my take on it.
It's underrated if you ask me. I don't think society views it in the proper light. I mean, there are instances where a truly deep love will be celebrated, but they're few and far between. Mostly it's adultery, rape, and divorce. When it's truly deep, it isn't a pain in the ass to initiate and you don't "owe" your partner anything. Hell, maybe you won't even have an orgasm. But it will still be great just because you're together. xoxo
I think actual sex is underrated. It is important for health, and for certain types of human interaction. How many people understand how male and female bodies actually work. Tantra/Taoist stuff, the breathing and energy points or their Western equivalents. It took me quite a while to learn and develop. What is wrong is the weaponisation of sex, and its use in advertising and related things. Thats not really sex, its manipulativeness. That can be terrible. Someone could bring me the 100 most beautiful women in the World right now. And I wouldn't be interested. Unfortunately. I think its important your head is right for sex. I met up with a girl recently. Technically it was great, she was really gorgeous and nice (yeah like I can tell!NOT), and I was like an iron bar throughout. But it felt.. just empty. Afterwards for hours I had this really bad feeling for a long time after. Its a story I've had a few times. Maybe because my sexual energy is getting stronger (chi as some say!) I have to guard against it being at odds with my emotional energy.
The sex of a Pokemon is definitely over rated if you want to breed it specifically for its offspring. If you're interested in training the offspring, just place you Pokemon with a carer and then place a Ditto with the same carer at the same time. Ditto is a hermaphrodite and will supplicate to your other Pokemon's every need, including birthing offspring. The Ditto will copy the other Pokemon's form and mate with it and its sperm/eggs will also be viable, therefor capable of creating am adequate offspring.
It's very overrated, which isn't to say it's not enjoyable. It's just that society is constantly bombarded with sex and sexual imagery to the point where it's become an obsession with many people. It's a good tool for controlling the masses as Aldous Huxley once said. I would say what is underrated in the world these days is real love and compassion. What is sex without love, other than the fulfillment of one of mankind's most base-level, animal desires?
making babies in a world that is damd well overpopulated, i would say THAT is over rated. now sex is part of nature, and nature is generally somewhat to the good side of neutral, however much it might be badmouthed by those claim, and want everyone else to pretend also, that it is doing invisible things a favor to ignore those that we affect and are affected by in our every day lives. not that the sacrament of sex is part of everyone's everyday life either. and of course its both of those things that makes it obsessive. it is a natural need, one who's denial increases aggressiveness statistically, a detail of which those who first proposed the absurdity of celibacy, were not unaware. it is by no means natural for anyone to want to make war on each other, let alone put themselves at risk doing so. but heads of state long ago became aware they could 'game the system' of whatever responsibilities expected of them, by sending their nations into bloody and lethal battle with each other (would be heads of states leading militant factions too) no all that doesn't make sex a substitute for affection, or any of the other good things that could make a world worth living in, but it does illustrate how sexual repression is a form of asceticism (the kind of self masochism many beliefs regard as holy, sacred and saintly. there are very much exceptions, but that is for another topic. suffice it for now, christianity and islam are not among those exceptions.)
Sex can elicit peak experiences and I think that should be appreciated. Mind and emotions can be heightened to ineffable levels and it can be transcendental, providing insight on what it means to be human. Not every experience is necessarily like this, but usually sex involves a wide range of emotional and cognitive dispositions that can be worked out and/or discovered. So I don't think sex is overrated. It's certainly commodified in our culture but I try not to develop a type of reactive formation due to this, where I have to adjust or disown my perceptions, understanding, feelings, etc. of my direct experiences with it because the culture portrays it a certain way that I may not like. That's not to say I'm not influenced by culture either, just that I consider my experiences initially before appealing to any cultural ideal or norms of the phenomena.
i think what's over rated, is when people put so much of themselves into pursuit of it, that they neglect to consider the kind of world they are creating. so i think, ya, throwing everything else away to become an addicted slave to it, sure, that's over rated. i think if sex were all anyone was ever able to do, i don't think that would be entirely gratifying or happy. we're born to build houses, or paint pictures, write music, write books, design all sorts of things. if you can't even explore the physical world outside of sex, because sex is all you can do, i wouldn't consider that much of a life, no matter how much sex you were able to have in it.
