Vortexia's Secret

our fascination with sex has always interested me. it's so personal yet so public, so hidden yet so blatantly everywhere. sex in the general sense... sex, sex appeal, sexual innuendos, the whole bit. "our" meaning human beings in general. if you think about it, probably 90% of our lives revolve around sex in some way or another. cultural and societal customs, traditions, etc. here, nearly everything we buy is sold using sex. i love how abercrombie used to sell their clothes by having their models naked. it's so absurd, yet it worked wonders. one of my friends got an A on a debate because i told her about that. in countries where anything sexual is forbidden, their lives are still driven by sex. for fear of conjuring up sexual thoughts in the men, the women must cover head to toe. we also gauge the passing eras by the sexual overtones and the promiscuity. the 50s, prim and proper. the 60s and 70s, sexual revolution and the free love. the 80s, conservativism at its prime coupled with the AIDS scare. all kids in puberty can think about is sex. churches discuss sex, lecture children to wait. schools discuss sex. what they do when they talk about it varies widely by state. some say abstinence is the only choice, your sex organs don't even work until you're married when the padlock is removed. some say if you must have sex, at least practice putting a condom on this banana. i could go on forever with this, but i have to get ready to go to school. but remember, these are my thoughts. if i ever go for a Ph,D. you very well may find me writing a dissertation on this... or if i ever get my act together enough to be able to write a book, you better believe that this is in the top 3 for topics. i just may have to get that Ph,D. in sociology, write the dissertation and the book about sex, and become an expert in it so i can teach classrooms full of young minds that we're all obsessed with sex. the fetish of sex. ok, off to class before i give away all the tricks i have up my sleeve.

but i want responses on this one! so comment away por favor...

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
