Why Sex is Overrated ?

Discussion in 'Off-topic Discussion' started by Mr.Tony, Jan 26, 2023.

  1. Why Sex is Overrated ? Why Exactly now ? ( The Modern Time )
    Is there a hidden agenda behind it ??

    During the Religious Times, Sex was seen as a Sinful Act and it's still in some parts of the world, including my country. But why has it changed ? By whom ?

    /Discussion!
     
  2. There is no proof that sex is overrated. It's more frequent now with the increasing population. With the rise of modern media and parties. It's a big issue in modern society. People have forgotten it's negative consequences. With the increasing nature of porn and addiction. The violation of morals and increasing sadism.

    Not necessarily... Some religious interruptions view sex as a good thing. Some theologians who said sex was bad became heretics. Most of society tends to have an unhealthy view of sex. Either it's evil and should be completely avoided or something that is amazing and should be had all the time. I think we need to get away from both extreme views.

    It keeps the plebs busy, even 50 year olds are now apparently preoccupied with it, this wasn't a thing even only recently.

    When you lack a transcendental reference of any sort, it's a slow regression. All downhill from there. People are preoccupied with sex to compensate for their inner emptiness and state of enslavement that they are unable to articulate or even realize. Same reason they are preoccupied with food and their own vanity. If the purpose of life is enjoyment only then it becomes only about procuring the best home, food, drinks and sex.

    Additionally it can be attributed to the destruction of the family unit, and political systems that were by and for the people.

    A long series of wars and careful agenda pushing by the you know whos changed it.

    If it keeps going this way, only a matter of time until people are eating cockroaches and engaging in even more perverse sexual practices and calling it the pinnacle of progress.

    Sex is not overrated.
    It's fun when practiced with protection and with someone you trust, and even more fun with someone you like/love.
    Sex creates life.
    One night stands however, can be overrated.
    Porn is overrated.
    But to have sex or be doing something else?
    Depends on the individual and what they prefer.

    Fornication / Adultery / Lust =/= Sex

    There are certainly esoteric arguments to be made though about the Fall being related to the corruption of sex. Sex could be said to be everything. In the modern world it is less than nothing. (Ironic.)

    I would agree that it is overrated in that some people let their lives revolve around the fact that they aren't having any. There is a time and a place. If you are in a place where your virginity is a problem for you... It's not time.

    Somehow yes, it's overrated.

    Sex is good. But it's not going to be the best thing you have ever saw in your life.
     
  9. I don't know it is all very subjective at the end of the day. What is overrated to some may be considered unappreciated to others.

    Do I think it is overrated? Not necessarily. But I also do think that it is over-advertized especially on social media and modern television.

    That being said however, I think that modern society has adopted this idea that everyone can and should have all the sexual pleasures they want with none of the responsibilities or consequences, and personally I am just getting fed up with this Ideology. And I blame the "fetish community" for this despite having fetishes myself, only difference is is that I know that my fetishes are bad and wrong, and I am working to rid myself of them.

    Nah, Sex is not overrated. It is great. Porn sucks. Relationships are great.

    I think you are confusing "overrated" with "more prevalent". Indeed sex is more prevalent. That is thanks to anticonception and condoms. People agree that sex is great and with planned parenthood there are almost no risks so people enjoy it. The cultures where it is not so prevalent are usually economically less developed countries where the economic situation (and education!) does not allow for acquisition of condoms etc. Without them, the risk of sex is crazy high. Having a baby changes your life for the more difficult. In these poor countries it is also very risky for women etc.

    It was equally risky in european countries in the "Christian times" you mention. The reason why that was is that in pre-industrial europe the risks were the same as in less developed countries now. :)
     
  11. I would not say it’s overrated but I would say it is abused in our current society and culture. Sex is no longer viewed as sacred but common, something that has no repercussion. If she gets pregnant take a pill, if you get an std take a pill, this is the thought process they have. They completely disregard the spiritual consequences sex outside of marriage has.

    Sex is a natural and enjoyable part of many people's lives, and it can be a source of physical pleasure, emotional intimacy, and bonding with a partner. However, like any aspect of life, people's experiences with sex can vary greatly and may be influenced by a variety of factors.

    Some people may feel that sex is overrated if they have had negative experiences with it, such as feeling pressure or coercion to engage in sexual activity, experiencing sexual trauma, or feeling unfulfilled or unsatisfied with their sexual experiences. Others may feel that sex is overrated if they have unrealistic expectations about what sex should be like, based on media or societal messages that may not reflect the reality of most people's sexual experiences.

    It's important to remember that everyone's experiences with sex are unique, and there is no "right" or "wrong" way to feel about it. If someone feels that sex is overrated, it may be helpful to explore their own feelings and experiences with a therapist or trusted healthcare professional, and to communicate openly and honestly with their partner(s) about their needs and preferences.

    Sex has lots of downsides:

    1) Unwanted pregnancies
    2) STD's
    3) Getting stuck in a loveless sexual relationship
     
  15. The simple fact sex is able to generate a life proofs it is not sinful. I think I recall this idea from Napoleon Hill. Regardless, his books have interesting wisdom in life besides talking of money. I'd say, however, that it isn't worth it if it is not tantric nor done with love. Without it, even if in a relationship, it is cold under the pleasure skin. After all, a divorce or break up of spouses used to get laid is just a consummation of something already established in the barriers of hearts. This last one I'm sure is from a book of Ramatis.
     
  16. I don't think that sex within it's self that's sinful or wrong, but when there are perversions involved, Like stalking, rape, coercion, etc that are wrong.
     
  17. That's why we must keep sex under control. Imbalance corrupts even the best of feelings.

    Very similar to myself except I lost my virginity to an escort, please dont do it, it was a bad experience. If I would have conquered my PMO issues it could have went better but more importantly I wouldn't have made that terrible choice. The thirst didnt stop. I think there's a spiritual connection needed with another person that can stop lust.
