Sexual Revulsion In A Sexualized Society

Stephen A. Peterson

Using the television remote, I randomly raced through channels to find a college basketball game on one of the sports channels. I did not care which channel just so long as it was a college basketball game. What I ended up getting was a woman oriented network program that presents an elderly grandmotherish woman discussing human sexuality. At the time, the elderly woman, whose name I did immediately recognize or could identify, was presented a television expert.

Although her program was not my first choice, I listened with utter disgust when a boy, who identified his age as being under 15 years of age, proudly reported having engaged in sexual intercourse with his under 15 year old girlfriend. With a straight face, the elderly commentator proceeded to tell her young patron that he did well, advised him as to how he could increase his and her sexual pleasure by manual manipulation, experimenting with a variety of sexually oriented positions and practicing with as many partners as he could acquire to become healthy sexually. Not once during her commentary did she mention self-control, patience or waiting for marriage before engaging in sexual intercourse with his persons of the opposite gender.

Since the 1990’s, television has boldly gone where television, up to that point, had not gone before with respect to violence and sexually oriented television for not just the adult audience among us but also for young, very young, children who are just barely into puberty or had not attained pubescence age.

In the eyes of some who read this piece, I should have switched the channel and immediately gone to a college basketball game. For many of we parent, therein lie our problem. Rather than see and know what messages our children are getting from the television, radio and print media, we fail to watch or read and become informed as to what children even as young as 5 or 6 years of age are seeing, hearing and learning.
Individuals responsible for children and teens must cease hiding their heads in the sand and look and see what the forest really looks like! Hidden in an array of explicit, subtle and not so subtle messages regarding their children’s sexuality, many sexologist and non sexologists relay the message that sexual intercourse is permitted by anyone of any age just so long as it is consensual and that the individuals who engage in sexual intercourse maximize their experience and do so with the so called protection of a condom.

The so-called sexual revolution is more revolting than revolutionary. Surveys conducted in 2000 of pre-teens and teens indicate both genders believe engaging in unlimited permissive and extramarital sexual intercourse with as many persons is permitted or considered the norm. Additionally, some pre-teens and teens reported sexual intercourse is permitted and expected not within a few months of dating but on the same day or night of the first date. This same survey also indicated pre-teens and teens report that if the other person is not interested or wished to engage in the sex act then the rape of the person is justified. These disturbing findings should alert and alarm parents and other responsible adults to trends in the behavior and thinking of the young regarding sexuality and the responsibility their behavior entails.
Perhaps a question for all is: “Why can we not teach and talk to our children and grandchildren about the beauty of the human body and of human sexuality with the context of a marital relationship between a man and a woman. An additional question to go along with the one above is: “Why have we not done this duty as parents and/or grandparents to teach our children about preciousness and beauty of their sexual being and being patient is far greater than being used and abused time and time again by non caring sexual predators?”

In the meantime, the gurus, priests and priestesses of hedonism of the “ME” generation give their perverted blessing to any form of sexual expression even the most sadistic and sardonic forms that are not more an expression of love than a man stabbing another person with a knife through her or his heart then justify his actions calling it “love”.

What is disturbing is that these gurus, priest and priestesses of promiscuous, unbridled sexuality and sexual expression use up to date information about human sexuality and human sexual behavior that is informative, fascinating and that works when tried. If one listens closely to the preachings of the hedonistic world view, they never state any regard for fidelity, sacrifice, commitment, unconditional love and the dignity of each gender for the good of the other person. Rather they speak of competition, experimentation, manipulation masqueraded as love. They also have no regard for the wholesomeness, beauty of a relationship between a woman and man or strengthening the two parent family. To the contrary, they work hard to do all they can to disrupt, belittle and crush every remnants of the two parent family as outmoded and outdated. In the politically correct environment of the female-male family, the male is viewed as a bumbling, often senseless person who cannot accomplish any task except for eating and engaging in unbridled sex. The woman, on the other hand, are often portrayed as being the brain in the family or relationship in control and sexually aggressive. The only activity that controls their lives is the amount of sexual expression the two are engaged in. I am not calling the “Robert Young- ‘Father Knows Best “situation as ideal for any one to have to live within. Women and men do not have to be competitors. Both are persons with talents that each may bring to be a relationship to evolve into a positive marital relationship.

It stand to reason, that the more these talking heads entices society with the sort of moral and intellectual garbage now running rampant in our society, the more parents and grandparents have to step up to the plate and teach young girls and boys about their sexual being. That sexual intercourse involves obligations and responsibilities. That risky, unbridled sexual intercourse will result in suspicion, healthy risks, psychological distress now and in their futures.

Parents and grandparents who feel as thought they just cannot deal with the topic of human sexuality with their children and grandchildren must insist that our surrogates provide more than how-to-do it programs, classes and seminars for the young. Children, teens and young adults need to understand the moral and legal implications of their sexual behaviors not simply that you can engage in sexual activities when you feel you are ready. This attitude is nothing more than a permission slip to go ahead and engage in sexual intercourse.

Truly teaching young children, teen and younger adults about human sexuality in a respectable, responsible and moral manner in the postmodern, hedonistic area will not be easy but it can be done and must be done. If we do not, the gurus, priests, and priestesses of sexual hedonism of false love will continue to fill the void and the destruction of young lives.

Children, teens and young adults have a right to be protected from the manipulating of these false teachers whose only desire is to steal innocence while stealing billions of dollars as they destroy the lives, health and emotional stability of our children and youth.

TRUTHS REGARDING HUMAN SEXUALITY

1. Human sexuality is a gift from God to bind a married man and woman together in unconditional love and to continue humankind. There is nothing evil, dirty or bad about human sexual expression.

2. Sexual intercourse is NOT love and love is NOT sexual intercourse! Sexual expression is beautiful and good when it occurs between a married man and woman in unconditional love and respect in private as sexual expression is NOT a public spectacle or a sporting event to be shared with others.

3. Human sexual expression is NOT for sell, for exploitation, to be gained through pressure or due to a lack of self control. There is nothing normal about pornography or negative sexual jokes that downgrade female/male sexual expression or rape. Be aware that these media and acts exist but do whatever you can to oppose their presence and those who support their continuation. DO NOT fear expressing your disdain and disregard for their presence and those who will oppose you. Pray for them! God is greater than their efforts and will prevail.

4. Practice personal self-control and chastity. Every person has sexually oriented thoughts and dreams. This is normal and natural. Such thoughts is not wrong unless you dwell upon them or take action to become sexually active, become involved in fornication or adulterous acts or actions.

5. Homosexuality is NOT a normal expression of human sexuality nor is sexual expression with animals or using any sort of instrumentation. These are expressions of identity difficulties or disorders that are NOT inborn and can be altered or changed if those participating in such behaviors wish to do so.

6. Human sexuality is not merchandise to be bought and sold in the forms of human sex trafficking, prostitution and the like. No person is a thing but a person to be regarded and respected.

7. There are trustworthy, knowledgeable persons and organizations that advocate truly healthy and appropriate information with regards to human sexuality and human sexual expression. Children, teens and young adults are encouraged to seek information and advice from parents, relatives or friends who will not exploit you. if you are asked to do any thing questionable, IT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO THOSE IN AUTHORITY IMMEDIATELY!!! YOU DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG!!

8. Parents and grandparents should not consider discussion of human sexuality and human sexual expression as dirty, evil or wrong within the context of marriage. Questions regarding human sexuality need to be answered honestly and at the developmental level of the child, teen or young adult. If parents or grandparents are uncomfortable with explaining human sexuality and human sexual expression, seek reputable individuals and organizations that the parent or grandparent can monitor for accuracy in information and that are consistent with your moral beliefs and values
