RE: Why Does the West Abhor Depictions of Sex but Glorify Violence?
I like your writing, however I don't agree with this. Sex is everywhere nowadays. Maybe more than violence. It's in advertising, the most popular music, the most popular shows. I think both depictions of sex and violence are just outlets for people to live vicariously through various characters, because the natural instincts for lust and aggression are still in us but have no real outlet for most people.
You don't have to agree with me. This blog is not an echo chamber and I welcome any opposing arguments.
I should have been more specific when I said sex. I am not talking about teasing softcore pictures that can find anywhere, I am talking about the kind of nudity sexual content you only find in a porno.
Young people are exposed to the highest levels of violence and we cannot say the same for sex.
I 100% agree with your last point. These are indeed outlets for our natural instincts. But when there is significant opposition to these outlets, what is the solution?
We can't have our outlets, and we cannot fulfill our natural urges in real life. And we wonder why mental illness is on the rise.
