Sex, like any behavior, has no inherent meaning. Meanings are ascribed to behaviors, in the mind, from experience. A person who has been sexually abused as a child is going to have very different meanings about sex than one who has not. Although sex can be an ecstatic, transcendent experience, it is not without its dark side as well. And yet, because sex is rooted in our physical nature, it cannot be denied without ramifications. Sexual repression has a host of negative consequences, many of which are amply evident in modern society, not the least of which are the many con games associated with it. |
