[Political Interest]

One of the major problems of our modern age is that our societies are becoming hyper-sexual. Sexual advertisements are everywhere. It is completely impossible to escape them unless you choose to live in complete isolation. Unfortunately many do not realise that hyper-sexuality is destroying us.

The sexual impulse exists to allow men to have intercourse with women. It exists to allow this to be possible and desirable. In many ways it is no different to hunger in that it can be satisfied and then calmed. However we are reaching the point where it has become the be all and end all of human existence. We are fed non-stop and constant sexual images. The availability of pornist materials on the internet now means that extremist sex acts are available to a wide audience.

Sexual impulses cannot exist in the same place as true love. When sexuality is divorced from true love the result is a human being ruled by their lower nature. It would be no different to someone being ruled by a lust for food. Out of control sexuality will result in the triumph of ego and a loss of real and genuine love.

In my opinion romantic love is also very different from raw sexual impulse. Romantic love is emotional and is based on a sentimental attachment to a person. It exists beyond sexuality. This is why it is so beautiful when you fall in love with someone because it is almost mystical and an affirmation of one's person. When you look into the eyes of the one you love under the blue sky and in open green fields with the cool air blowing, it is something far more than raw sexuality.

Extreme sexuality will lead to nothing but perversion and depravity. Pornography destroys humanity and degrades us. It produces sadism and perversion.

We must destroy hyper-sexualism. Humanity and human relationships are not based on sexual impulse.

Out of control hyper-sexuality results in craziness like twerking, pornism, sadism and lunacy.

However true love produces beautiful things.

Perversion and pornography have always been part of human society and probably always will be.
Attempting to ban it will not work and apparently may be harmful since humans have always desired both.
Publicly accepting it and displaying it is the problem. There should be protection for people who do not wish to be exposed. It should take some effort to find things that say a 18 year old should not be exposed to.
Obviously, the problem is who decides the standards.

I have pointed this out previously. I don't want to stereotype, you will find that Americans in the main seem to be hyper-sexual. It seems that a sex scene is a prerequisite of most episodes of American television series, even if it doesn't add an iota to the plot.
I know that Americans troops, airmen who were stationed over in the U.K. earned the reputation of.." Over here, over sexed and over paid".

It's not us Americans who are "hyper-sexual". It's you wrong pie eaters who are too frigid.

Your view is distorted by religious goggles that has indoctrinated you to believe sex is disgusting and you should be ashamed if you like it or think about it, talk about it or even if you are 10 miles from anyone having sex, even if its an animal.
Sex has existed for billions of years and if anyone is wrong it is you trying to go around it.
"Hyper-sexuality" as you described has existed through human history, and for good reason, there has been over 1 billion years of evolution perfecting sex. Rome had orgies, middle east has had harems (and still do) for thousands of years and even Greek gods would impersonate humans to have sex.
This "hypersexuallity" you are talking about its only offensive (and dangerous) for people that are obsessed with religious morality. As the word becomes more and more secular your views will be seen as more and more bizarre unless you adapt them.
Religion taboos might have had a basis when we did not know anything about the word (don't have sex and you might avoid certain sexually transmitted diseases, you might avoid unwanted impregnation that might be a burden to your family, etc) But in today's modern word with ample knowledge about diseases, birth control and society advances (e.g. a woman is not a property or a burden for the family) those views are obsolete (also offensive).
Another example of religious crusade stopping progress.

Personally, my objections are not religious. Someone decided that sitcoms and comedians are only funny if they use profanity and discuss sex. They are never funny to me. I would just like to turn on the TV without be bombarded with juvenile ideas of morality and humor.

These things are funny only because of and to the extent that they are taboo.

[Albert]

Saeko, are you hyper-sexualized?

[XogGyux]

I was going to say the same. Sitcoms make fun of sex because of the taboo in the society, they make fun of farts because of the same reason. Never heard a joke about drinking water, about sitting quietly in a chair and about sleeping. All functions that (similar to sex) we all do but unlike sex and farts (and others) are not taboo.
The irony is that all this "sexual" sublimation the OP so much despises exists almost exclusively because of all the hate and ignorance of religious fanatics.

[One Degree]

Now I can't even express my dislike of TV without being labeled a 'hater'. I am sure glad the people with the label guns are in firm control of the world.

Edit: I require a little more sophisticated humor than farts. I will take Mark Twain quotes and you can have 2 Broke Girls. Fair enough.

You are hater not because of your humor tendencies but rather for your religious ones. And not because you believe in fairy tales but rather because you want other to believe your fairy tales as well.

I clearly stated my opinions were not based upon religion. Your comments suggest an irrational dislike of people you think might be religious.

Ok I will bite. What does it bother you if other people practice sex, have fun at it, etc?

[One Degree]

It doesn't. I simply ask it not be flaunted in areas I can not easily avoid.

I feel the same about religion fanatics. Can't turn around the corner without seeing a church, cant sleep sundays without someone knocking on my door trying to sell me the last flavor of religion, cant turn the newspaper without 10 mentions of jesus or turn the TV without seeing a dozen of so people that believe in magic cry that the rest of the word is wrong because we don't believe in their magic. So you also agree all those things should be taken off areas where people might not be able to avoid them easily of they want to?

[One Degree]

No problem for me, unless you means churches not being recognized as churches. The religion babble is usually confined to the religious channels. Why do you see so much of it?

Nonsense. Religious people do not stop people from availing themselves of the benefits of science. At least in civilized countries they do not. In every one of your examples religious people are out in front on the issues. Religion teaches not to get pregnant in the first place, not go get sexually transmitted diseases in the first place, and to respect women enough not to compromise them in the first place.

You are applying scientific solutions to problems in a manner that is the equivalent to closing the barn door after the horse is already gone. I could make a good case for maintaining that that it is not turning to religion that causes us to have an enormous out of wedlock birth rate; but rather it is turning away from it. In my day men who become fathers were expected to marry the woman and take care of the child forever. Not so today in a great many cases.

Then you were dead wrong on a couple of points. We have NOT conquered venereal diseases as you have alluded. Indeed there are a couple of modern ones that are quite deadly and getting moreso. Following the religious teachings of no sex outside of monogamous relationships would end them in no time.

I get that you dislike religion. Your reasons suck though.

[Suntzu]

Sex sells. If it didn't they would use it.

[XogGyux]

That would be a small but not sufficient start.

The religion babble is usually confined to the religious channels. Why do you see so much of it?

I return your question to you. Why do you see so much pornography, sadism and twerking like the OP said. In my day to day i see none.
This is not an either/or scenario. I believe everyone should be free and able to do whatever they want in so long they don't harm other people that are unwilling. You can have as many sermons and pray to as many gods as you want. You can have sex with 1 guy, 2 guys, 1 guy and 1 girl, 2 girls, 17 guys, a robot, an inflatable whale, god, devil everyone you want as well. I don't care I could not give a crap. But this obsession with morality, in particular religious morality is absurd. I don't care for anything that the OP suggested either, It is not part of my life. However, It does not bother me anymore than religious sermons do (in fact those bother me more as they are irrational and in-natural).

in particular religious morality is absurd.

What makes their morality absurd?
