its kind of hard for me to speak for a country about how people view sexuality but i would say here in the states many times sex is pushed at you in various ways as a sales tool in order to get u to buy something that has nothing to do with sex.
there is a whole controversy over here about abortion. many people here dont want women to have the right to an abortion but the interesting thing is that these same people dont want people to have birth control. with the advent of the morning after pill there really is no need for unwanted pregnancies but they happen all the time. if we really educated kids about their birth control options there would be a lot less unwanted pregnancies.
sex is kind of thrown at u all the time in advertising but very little good info about birth control is given to the young as though they wont have sex. hey the young are going to have more sex than anyone else why not educate them on how not to get pregnant and make the birth control available to them.
you will find a lot of religious institutions where sex is abused by the same people who are telling others not to have sex. so there is a very split picture kind of like be a virgin but here come and look at this porn with me but still be a virgin. kind of impossible to fulfill that mission.
i wanted to ask u, speaking swedish do u understand german are there strong similarities between the languages.
True that...
We deny it. We deny that it's natural or even a part of ourselves. We try to make it fit into the box it should be in (between happily married couples only!) so it may be fearfully controlled. But amazingly, at the same time, it's glamorized in movies and television shows, and as norral says, advertisements. Education on the subject and how to approach it naturally and responsibly is, as norral says, severely lacking...
