Sex.

My first question: When you see that word, what do you think of? Do you think of love? Fun? Regret? Mistakes? Do you feel embarrassed? Or indifferent? Please, first answer me this question. Though, be courteous of other people when replying to this.

The reason I bring up this certain three letter word is because it's basically everywhere. It's in movies, television programs, books, games and others. But why? Is it because people like to hear or read about it?

Many magazines offer advise for having great intercourse and anytime I read one of those articles, I keep asking myself: Why are people so interested?

I'm seriously curious.

Then I thought that maybe since it is in movies, magazines, books and games, then that means that sex has become part of daily life. Of course, maybe not the act of it, but the thought of it as well. Sex isn't just part of life though, it is life.

This brings me back to Brave New World. In that book, people are synthetically made. So, then sex isn't life. Just part of it, since everyone is encouraged to have it. This is my final question: If sex isn't life but part of it, then why is it that the people Brave New World have so much of it and even encourage it at young ages? Do they think of it as a pass-time or a sport? And if sex is how people naturally make children, then why is it that the people in that society still participate in these acts? Do all of them know the origins of sex? Or is the truth being hidden from them (which brings me back to an earlier post I made on the blog about ignorance)?
