Personally, I think the most damaging aspect to the media's sexuality twistage is that they portray sex as being for young people.
In the most insidious way, the message has been sent out far and wide that one should get it while they can cause it all goes bye bye when you get "old and married". It's pathetic. It gives people who are already inclined towards the LD end of the spectrum permission to just give up entirely, once married and settled--or at least it did, in my marriage. H finally has stopped using this line of reasoning on me and even believes now that this is hooey but it was really ingrained in him, for a long time. The HD end of the spectrum suffers from this ridiculous idea, imo, in the form of porn which invariably features young girls.
Look at how we treat marriage--one of the best known rituals is for bride to be and groom to be to go out the night before and have these parties which basically celebrate debauchery. Drink to excess, indulge in sexual "fun" cause it's all ending the next day.
I bought into this hook line and sinker for a while. I figured that this was just "married life" and then, later on, what being parents was like. I was miserable but then again, aren't all married people like this?
What a load of crap!
I remember when I told H that I had every intention of being an old lady, still getting it on regularly. He thought I was joking. He honestly believed that there would come an age..a time..in which I'd say "Ok that's it. We're too old for that."
Anyhoo, just had to chime in. This is one of my hot buttons. No not THAT hot button you sickos...
