G.L. Morrison said, this week on Sexis...
"Good Sex, Bad Sex. Sexuality even without the extra trappings of specific traumas or unconventional longings has a Madonna/Whore complex. Sexuality in our culture is vilified, warped, and repressed with one hand and deified with the other. Holidays such as Valentines Day, anniversaries, romance novels/movies/etc. tell you without love (or sex or couple-hood) you aren’t truly alive. The same way that sex is used to sell us everything, everything is used to sell us sex. The sanitized do it in the dark version of sex. Not the real blood and guts sex, full of emotional and physical messiness."
Do you agree or disagree with the idea that society sanitizes sex and serves to disconnect us from our own sexuality?
Do you think sexual surrogates can help people reconnect with their sexual selves?
