Sex.

We constantly hear about it, sing about it, talk about it, or do it. It is everywhere, every day, all the time. Society has made this 'act' so explicit and 'marketable' that we, (myself included) sometimes forget what it truly is; the act of love/lust between two people who essentially become one through both physical and emotional connection. Why did it ever become acceptable to exploit such an intimate and beautiful thing in order to make any sort of profit?

I feel like modern-day society has made sex a chore for young adolescents to tick off their list of things to do, to get over with and get on with being an 'adult', yet that is exactly what it shouldn't be. Music, various media, movies, tv shows, porn; all extremely large contributors to this underlying idea that sex is something taken lightly by young people globally. Don't get me wrong, I love jamming to "Body On Me" by Rita Ora, or "PILLOWTALK" by Zayn alone in my car 100% of the time, however, I strongly believe that teenagers living in this day and age share a warped view of what this extremely intimate act truly is. Experiencing highschool first-hand very recently, majority of the people I associated with had this warped mindset towards sex, constantly talking about it like it was just another average activity they did on the weekend.
Maybe I am just extremely old fashioned but shouldn't sex be an act that is completely and utterly cherished and looked up to by not only our youth but everyone within our society? It is an act that brings you the absolute closest you can possibly get to another human being, sharing not only your body with that person but also your soul. Shouldn't that be connotated to utter love and intimacy with a person that means the absolute world to you? I'm sorry but fucking, banging and pulling should never be words connected to such act of love.

Since when did it become okay to let others control how we perceive sex or anything for that matter?

Rant over.
