These artists spent their lives in praise of life's subtle pleasures, yet each one would be considered abnormally/notoriously sexually active and/or interested in the erotic.

My boyfriend and I, surprisingly enough, don't bother ourselves about sex. You have the right to say yes or no, so I say ignore the people advancing on you and tell them to back off. Love is shown in the language that the couple alone understands, be it a lovely walk at midnight under a full moon or a game played together, or just sharing a piece of food. That's love. Sex is just one of the many ways to express love. It's not superficial…or shouldn't be anyway.

Society HAS gotten a bit more sex driven, whether by media, freedom of expression, or whatever reason people care to spin. It's not really going to stop; this is one of the irreversable things. -sighs-

I see my RSS is working on your site, I assume it was broken since I couldn’t read my own RSS :P

Anyway good article, though you know I am not really into Anime but the fact you beta tested an anine related game and gave it a sweet short review with downloads and of course a screenshot is killer :).

I don’t have anything better to do but whine :P

Well I am going to go hide until my next update (not long from now :)).

A thirteen-year-old girl reports that she exchanged sex for a hair weave.

This is what happens when well-fed people live by materialistic values.

You have the option of hanging out with extremely religious people who reserve sex for marriage. That should cut down the number of people who try to get sex from you without trying to prove themselves.

Modern society is extremely materialistic. Furthermore, most countries are very well-fed, and well-fed people think about sex, whereas hungry people think about food but think much less about sex.

For most of history, people were more or less hungry. They did not know if there would be a good harvest. Rays in the granary could cause a whole town to starve. People prayed more because they weren't sure they would survive.

Now people can't imagine what life would be like without supermarkets. They assume that sex is plentiful, just like food is plentiful.

Why is society so sex-oriented now? I think it has a lot to do with the fact that people are just more open about it. People have been having sex for ages and ages, but it's only recently that we talk about it and to admit it as being healthy. It's healthy to masturbate, it's a sign that a relationship is healthy if sex occurs regularly. And so on. (I'm saying for the most part, I know there are still the conservative ones, and the religious ones, etc)

As for me? I'm all for the little things in relationships; the moonlit walks, the simple late-night conversations, watching tv together; but I still think sex is sex. It's carnal pleasure. Sure, sex makes a relationship stronger, makes two people feel more connected( because of the pure intimacy of the act) but ultimately, it's an exchange of fluids and stimulus to muscles.

You're right in that things have been a bit boring lately, and you're not the only one who thinks that. Basically, when life becomes a routine, whoever is living and has a thinking mind notices. It gets horrifying when a whole group of people accept it and do nothing special because it'd break the norm. Ah well.

Mental illness becomes a weight that gets more heavy as time goes on. The best I have to hope for is that the government will acknowledge this and give me disability.
