I don't long for the "good old days" or have a hissy fit if there's a butt on TV. The argument isn't that simplistic. Wondering if the hypersexualization of our society is a bad thing is not the same thing as saying "sex is dirty". I slightly resent having to waste my time explaining that, to be honest.
Lots of things were wrong in society in the 50s. Also the 40s, the 60s, the 90s, and so forth. But one of the things we seem to have lost is respect for our own bodies and those of others. What's wrong with a little mystery? What's wrong with modesty? What about salacious material is so worthy that we feel we must defend it from any criticism? For that matter, what is so unworthy about virginity that we mock it like some kind of mental illness?
I'm not in 6th grade, and I'm not Amish. I can say with some degree of certainty that I've almost seen it all. I'm just not all that impressed. Why is that viewpoint less enlightened somehow?
