Sex, Changes and Generations.
If you're over 30, I'm here to tell you that sex has changed. It's different for those under 30 than it was for you at their age.
More than other factors, the degree of exploration has gone further than it had when we were younger. Is this a good or a bad thing? I'm not sure, as a whole, that it is. But it might be, evolution-wise. What do you think?
What is the input of the internet, a relatively new thing in human history, have on their imprinting minds? In many ways, the recent directions of the arts seems at times demonic, or at least immoral. Pornography has gone in directions one could scarcely imagine two decades ago. And then there's the social directions. Some traditions, like marriage, remain, though often with progressive alterations. The opportunities for anonymous sex are so common they are understood. Their choices are so many, they are literally global. They are entertained on a whole new level of bombastic, and who could blame them? Every generation has looked for cheap thrills in its youth.
That direction won't be stopped, because it's nature. The nature of human communication has been altered, so why wouldn't it impact nearly every facet of our social and sexual lives?
And no matter what you may think of human evolution, technological evolution is undeniable. There are many ways in which we are still primal in our relationships, and our view of our primal aspects are constantly fed back to us by our media. When our relationship to our media becomes habitual, all that is primal is also habitual. Beliefs in sky gods, super heroes and various heavens and hells abound in our media, and therefore in our dreams, awake and asleep.
But what of our future, what of our understanding of our world and universe? The mindfulness of Eternalism combined with the search for knowledge (gnosis) is the high-wire act between chaos and order.
