wha? how can it "boggle your mind" that society has an obsession with something that is required to continue it's existence
it's like me saying I don't understand why you have such an obsession with breathing
You confuse obsession and biological compulsion.
One is natural, the other is a potential problem.
To be obsessed with breathing one would have to focus a good deal of their concious effort on the act of breathing alone, savouring each breath above and beyond what is vitally necessary. To hold it up as some mystical method to making yourself a better person by doing it in a certain way.
Now imagine everyone did this, it was sensationalised by the media and held up on a pedestal like some sort of unwritten convention.
Now imagine you're the only person who doesn't feel this way about societies view on breathing. Doesn't the world look strange to you now?
Now you see where my view on sex comes from. It is not some mystic arcane right, it is not some piece of mighty knowledge passed onto man by an all powerful sky-daddy.
Is it really so hard to believe that someone doesn't get why the mere act of procreation is regarded as one of the single most important things in a species that has long since advanced beyond the stage where large families are a requirement for survival.
