The nature of sex!

Sex is natural desire that all humans feel. Though we all get sexual urges, there are particular places and times for sex, however when the urge strikes, one must find a way to expiate there sexual frustration. I do believe people use other alternatives to sex such as exercising , eating, or even playing an instrument. I believe that if you try to abstain from sex for all of your life it is fighting against nature, you are trying to fight against something that you were given the "instruments" for. Another thing is that sex is on peoples minds (maybe not 24/7) but that is the reason why it appeals to us so much. We may unconsciously have sex on the mind and when we see it on TV/ or in movies we can relate to it and even get stimulated by it.
I don't think that everything relates back to sex as Freud may have implied , but it is a part of human nature. It is interesting to talk about this topic in NHN because I am talking about the same topic in another course. In my class we are talking about how sex actually came to be a public thing. Parents in the 1950's did not talk about sex with their children and made it seem like it was something awful. Sexual references or actions were not allowed on TV and it wasn't even talked about in schools. Many teenagers rebelled against their parents as soon as the music of Rock and Roll was introduced, because hey! It is music that involves sexual movement. We then saw how these people became sexually aware of their environment even though parental figures tried to suppress it. Sex is natural and it is something that should be done , like everything, in moderation.
