Sex in traditional and modern lifestyles...


Traditionally, sex is concidered as a sacred thing between a man and a woman. It is something that traditional people rarely talk about as some feel uncomfortable or even offended by sex talk.However, in the modern world we live in today ,sex is something we are all used to because we are not afraid to talk about it with our friends and to some, even their families.. Traditional and modern ways both have a different view on sex and these are:
 

Traditional
·       Sex  is regarded as lustful and dirty
·       There are sexual restrictions (man should always be in charge)
·       Things such as homosexual sex interactions are forbidden

Modern life
·       Sex is common and casual
·       Both men and women can take charge in bed as there are no sexual restrictions
·       Homosexual sex relations are allowed and practiced because we are now used to gays and lesbians in our societies.

Modern ways in this sence are advantageous because they breakes down the communication boundries that our customs have built over time and allow us to help one another in providing information such as sex tips, sex dos and donts, how to protect yourself from deseases, and how people can satisfy each other sexually by knowing their likes and dislike through communication whereas tradition forbidds such talks and thus limits ones knowledge of sex. what is your take on how sex is portrayd in modern and traditional lifestyles?

  1. But then don't you think if sex is a private thing people will lack information on issues such as STIs and unplanned pregnancies?

  2. Well, I feel that modern sex has done a good part in the society because, since we can talk about it we are well aware of what's out there and what are the conseqeneces of it too.I haven't done this but I'm speaking on behlaf of seeing and hearing things about sex.

  3. @ Lerato, it indeed does break the down the barriers of communication and enables us to make better decisions as we have more knowledge.

  4. It is good to talk about sex,but not in public, I think it should be in between the two partners and it must not be a casual thing because our bodies they are a tempel of God.

  5. @saloma , i think it can and should take place in a public place just as long as we do not end up offending people around us.
