If we weren’t supposed to have sex, then we wouldn’t have been born with the parts. They are there for a reason and shouldn’t be ignored, but controlled. In the correct, consensual setting, exploring the boundaries of your bodies is acceptable. But without consent, sex is wrong, regardless of who you are.
Just because men have these desires doesn’t mean they have to act on them against anybody else’s will.
That statement is easier said than done when you’re younger, when it seems your body dictates your thoughts more than when you’re older, and the desire has changed or worn away. On top of that, we push down religion as if marriage is the solution to a problem that keeps reminding you every morning of a function most cannot escape. What religion and education don’t teach you is how to find ‘good relief before the grief.’
Because we are biological beings, we are subject to bacteria, viruses, and anything else that can infect us or that we can infect others with. If COVID taught us anything, it showed us that we can spread a virus if a vulnerable person is within distance without ever touching each other.
But what we have to consider is that our bodies are only weapons if we know we can hurt others and decide to do so anyway. Otherwise, our bodies are beautiful and welcome to be shared with others who consent. The truth is, there are many consensual partners if you don’t have the hang-ups. Part of the problem is, we don’t talk about our sexual frustrations until they lead to something awful. But I think it’s time we should.
