Knowing Your Deadlies and Why Capricorn Views About Sex

So recently, a group of clerics in Saudi Arabia sent out a report that if women were allowed the right to drive, it would cause all kinds of sexual deviance and horrible sinful stuff . . . instead of, ya know, just them getting their own groceries.

That was annoying to the point of being baffling. I rolled my eyes.  Today, I read this.

What was this dude? Like 12?  What rational, grown man who has ever actually, I dunno, spoken to or had contact with women would assume that eating a banana would make them thing sexy thoughts.  Usually the people who are this misguided about women are the sulking sad virgins who only know women from watching porn and mistakenly believe the wanton, unhinged level of lust displayed is how women really are.

Here's the truth. When you allow people to be open about their desires, when you give them freedom to live their lives as they see fit, eat what they want, wear what they want, make their own decisions about their relationships . . . it's interesting that you find many of them aren't really all that concerned with sex.

Oh sure, there are tons of people out there partying and hooking up with whomever they like, puking on the floor, and whatnot . . . but it's becoming less and less common.  It's a phase some people go through, but not all of them. And most people get out of it.

There are also a great number of people who just don't care.  They'd rather play video games than have sex. They'd rather read or mess around on Facebook or watch TV. That isn't talked about much, because it's maybe a little boring to many, possibly baffling, and quite certainly disquieting. We don't want people to be content. And we certainly don't want them to be content being alone.

However, a great many people are. A lot of people may go through their whole lives without a lover or children or spouses or random sex. Will they miss these things? Some of them will.  But most of them won't.  They'll say they do, just to not come off as some kind of freak.  But deep down, you don't really miss what tends to just cause everyone else annoyance, sadness, and a loss of money. The rare moments of belonging and fun don't really outweigh the messiness, resentment, and agitation.

Of course, I've always secretly believed that one of the underlining points of modern religion was to TRY and get people to be wanton and lustful.  If we keep telling people they want sex all the time, they'll want it.  If we tell them they should feel guilty about that, they'll feel guilty and then we can control them.  And then they have babies to follow our religion. And we get money.

I'm not saying all religions do this or that one is more guilty than the others.  Hell, or maybe I am! I'm going to eat a banana now and think about how great it would be to dip it in chocolate. Gluttony, folks. It's a different sin than that lust one.
