Informational-Non Fiction
During the Superbowl I heard a female patron of the bar and grill I was in say to her young boyfriend at halftime “If the Giants win you can fuck me” the other end of that bet was if the Patriots won he had to buy her some really nice jewelry. I thought about this and it wasn’t really a bet at all.
If he was her man, then he would eventually get some back action anyway.
I gave this some very serious thought between writing letters to my government representatives and sitting with lawyers regarding the disposition of my life. I took a hard look at the late night bar scene along with the ‘just go to church and work crowd’ to find out what the real difference is: is there a sweet altruistic way to virtuously have a committed sex partner or just have a sex partner without any real commitment? What is the acceptable social way to pursue sex?
Some of us have come to the realization (forgive the pun) that it really doesn’t matter what society thinks as long as you live in America.
Bible belt, born again, lying, cheating, crooked Christian hypocrites are always telling people how to live even though most divorces, unwed mothers, and deadbeat dads are in the bible belt. But so called ‘liberals’ want people to accept what is totally taboo in the face of traditional societal norms essentially bastardizing social institutions.
In other words assorted deviates would like to redefine marriage, redefine family, redefine love and redefine ‘right’. No matter where you are on whatever issue, it boils down to looking for justification on how you choose to find grounds to fuck or get off without being judged, prejudged, scandalized or condemned. But then again, it begs the question; do you really need a reason to have sex, any kind of sex, anyway you want it?
I did some looking around on and offline and found out that a psychiatrist, Dr. John Grohol did a study on the subject of the reasons why people have sex. Actually, this is an age old question dealt with by every philosopher from before Socrates to every ‘Doctor’ after Masters and Johnson.
Every major religion has issued its own rules for sex and sexual pursuit, from the prudish Judeo-Christian warnings of the Bible, to the humanist realism of Hinduism and the teachings of the Rig Veda and the instructions of the Kama Sutra. No matter what rules you personally subscribe to it doesn’t stop the ongoing rationalization for men and women to do what they want to do with each other.
Dr. Grohol’s study has led to a list of 237 reasons to have sex. (I know, only 237?) So for the sake of science, society, custom and culture, I will list some of the 237 reasons why to have sex (if Paul Simon knew this info would he have sung about more than ’50 Ways to Leave Your Lover’); So here we go:
214. I felt jealous.
215. The person flattered me.
216. I wanted to see if I could get the other person into bed.
217. The person had a desirable body.
218. I had not had sex in a long time.
219. The person smelled nice.
220. The person had an attractive face.
221. I saw the person naked and could not resist.
222. I was turned on by the sexual conversation.
223. The person was intelligent.
224. The person caressed me.
225. The person wore revealing clothes.
226. The person had too much to drink and I was able to take advantage of them.
227. I knew the person was usually ‘‘out of my league.’’
228. The person was mysterious.
229. I realized I was in love.
230. I wanted to forget about my problems.
231. I wanted to reproduce.
232. I wanted to feel loved.
233. I wanted my partner to notice me.
234. I wanted to help my partner forget about their problems.
235. I wanted to lift my partner’s spirits.
236. I wanted to submit to my partner.
237. I wanted to make my partner feel powerful.
(From 237 Reasons to Have Sex by Dr. John Grohol)
For whatever reason you choose to do it, or how to do it, is totally your pursuit, your problem, your delight. This is the whole dilemma and the partial wonder of being a human being. The need for sex spans the chasm from the need to procreate to the desire to just ‘get off’. So, if you haven’t already, find your reason why. You really don’t have to justify it…your human.
Just don’t forget the consequences.
