Fortunately we still have lots of violence, death, and torture. Because those are totally ok and normal things to be thinking about.
Ug! Sex and love. that stuff is just too dangerous to let into the public imagination.

- rajin444 5y agoI don't think it's repressed because it's dangerous or immoral. Constant casual sex devalues a monogamous relationship. Many in our culture still place a lot of value on a monogamous relationship, so you see it reflected in media. I'm not religious and do not care at all about how other's live their lives. But I see value in a monogamous relationship, and see attitudes toward casual sex as a decent indicator in helping me select a partner with the same values. This is not a moral judgement by any means. This is also not saying a monogamous relationship is better or worse.
