In this century stds, and pregnancy is to fall under our control. With advanced modifications of the brain, a sexual experience will no longer be traumatic, shocking or as important. With no consequence then it follows, there's no need for limitations. Communities akin to those of nudist will arise, only instead of just being nude in those communities they'll actively participate in sexual activities in such communities.
So, what are you trying to say? :?
That because sex is natural, enjoyable and free, everybody at any age should be having it as often as they can with whoever they can find?
Pardon my making assumptions, but do you think everybody in every society could stand for this? Do you think every issue connected to sex will "fall under our control"? STDs are still constitute a major problem in a large part of our world, have you ever heard of third world countries (making a broad generalisation here, to keep things comprehensible), have you ever heard of AIDS? And that is just one issue..
Of course it would change our society a lot if sex became totally casual, and we could behave like [insert name of a kind of monkeys for which I cannot remember the correct English term, but who "sleep with" everybody within their own flock as a gesture when they meet or as a sort of "hello"]. But to the better or worse?
Isn't the position of sex in our society too fundamental to alter so dramaticly?
I think conservative powers are too strong to alter this, hell even I, wonder if this would be so great at all.. (and I scored -8.00, -4.39 on the political ideology test, meaning I should be on your side of the middle.)
If there is one thing one can learn from history, it is that the future can never be accurately predicted. Are you sure that this sexification thing will not become old? Because I think in some ways you are mistaking the sexification of the western society for liberation.
The popular "everthing is sex, because sex sells" line of marketing will some day beat itself to death.
But your arguments sure made me think the topic through, so not all was bad, everything taken into account..
Ah, well, what do I know. In the end, it seems, the world seems to out-do even the most liberal and free spirited of us..
I already look forward to my conservative days of "When I was young, we didn't have rocks, so when we went down to the river to do laundry, we had to bang our clothes agains our heads to force the water out of them"..
Kind regards.
