Why all the Sex?

Sex sells. Sexy women sell. Sexy men sell. I want a sexy girlfriend and she wants a sexy boyfriend. Sex is the pinnacle dating and the most fulfilling thing a pagan can do with his life. Our generation is plagued with some serious issues; sex being arguable the biggest, if not the most influential.

Whenever I think about my culture and sex's influence on it, I get amped for Christ. I see so many things that need to be changed. I see more and more that sex and everything wrapped up in the pursuit of it is depressing and oppressing. My youth culture is plagued with expectations. Expectations to fail, drop out of school, have sex and have kids, lose jobs and money and end up dead or in jail. Expectations often box and limit us as people. And the serious thing about my generation is how much we peruse sex and how much the roots of sex (lust and temptation) are openly and commonly accepted and almost encouraged.

Take for instance the average television show on Family channel or YTV. Relationships are the common thread that ties all the stories together. Boyfriends and girlfriends are a household item. How than can we expect our young men and women to grow up and make all the right decisions; when we start selling sex to them at the earliest 'appropriate age'?
 At the end of the day, we need to be able to differentiate between what is ‘acceptable’ and what is right. Because clearly there is a big difference. And because we have started to accept things that are unhealthy and immoral we need to begin to take big steps as a society to change our minds and start cleaning up our kids!
