Having sex can be viewed and interpreted from many
different perspectives with meanings put to it, but it is just one of many
actions humans take. Sexual actions don’t carry any meaning in themselves, but
we put many different meanings to sexual actions associating them with
emotions, relationships, values, and purposes. Sexual actions cannot be good or
bad or right or wrong in and of themselves, but we humans put all kinds of
meanings to sexual actions and create infinite number of categories of sexual
actions. Contrasting and controversial positions about sexuality that lead to
heated debates never seem to end in most societies.
Meanings that are put to sexual actions
can be different depending on individuals’ thoughts and emotions based on
social customs and norms. We naturally think that sexual actions that don’t
accord with our thoughts and emotions are wrong.
If there is a group of people who do not relate sexual
actions with emotions, relationships, values, and purposes, sexual actions
including even the most perverted forms will not cause emotional, relational,
or social problems in people within the group. On the other hand, there can be
a group of people who try to promote or force certain sexual actions that
accord with their own ideas. In this case, what they are trying to promote or
force onto other people is not certain forms of sexual actions but meanings
that are connected with the specific forms of sexual actions. Of course, their
attempt to promote or force certain sexual actions related with certain ideas
will cause controversy and conflicts in the society since it contradicts other
people’s ideas on sexuality. They may still justify their idea thinking that
only their idea about sexuality is the right one even when most other people disagree.
Diverse forms of sexual actions people are taking
currently are given all different kinds of meanings and are associated with
distorted ideas causing controversies and conflicts. Different positions are
taken regarding sexuality from all different perspectives based on religious,
philosophical, social, cultural, and individual stances.
Meanings put to sexual actions associated with
emotions, relationships, values, and purposes greatly affect individuals’ life
and the society. As meanings of sexual actions associated with emotions,
relationships, values, and purposes are distorted, one’s life itself becomes
distorted and destroyed as well as the life of people around the person.
Sexual
actions have us generate powerful energy and we use the energy to pursue
meanings and values of life. You can accept or reject any sexual action with
your own will as far as your sexual actions don’t damage yourself and other
people psychologically, physically, or in any other possible way. Connecting
sexual actions with emotions, relationships, values, and purposes in distorted
ways cause psychological problems in many people. The adverse effects keep
being reinforced as the connection between distorted meanings and sexual
actions gets stronger.
