Why are people obsessed with sex today?

Sexual relations are one of the most beautiful experiences in the life of every person. Through sexual intercourse, two people can merge and dissolve in each other, experiencing enthusiastic moments of love - moments that everyone craves. In such moments our brain with its innumerable problems ceases to exist, time stops, and everything that burdens the psyche disappears in the air. At these moments, a person's consciousness flies into the sacred heights of pure bliss.

Why is there a problem?

Why then in our culture, where sex is considered a priority in life, most do not seem to have such wonderful moments? Why are people obsessed with sex and want to have more and more without being satisfied? Why are we in constant search for sexual gratification, and as a result we get experience of emotional discontent? To answer these questions, we first need to look at the culture in which we live, the way it affects us and our relationships.

Sex in the culture of alienation

With the development of advanced modern technologies, it seems that we, people, communicate more than ever before. The Internet has especially helped us create a global communications network where we can share ideas and interact with other people from any part of our planet, with messages reaching in a fraction of a second. Despite this, it seems that we need communication more than ever before.

Regardless of how many virtual friends or "followers" we have on social networks, most feel alienated. This is due to the fact that online relationships are so superficial that they are unable to provide us with a true sense of closeness and connection. Text messages can not replace personal conversations, smiley can not replace facial expressions, facial expressions, and cybersex certainly does not compare with physical contact.

At the same time (because of the conflicts and violence that prevail in our society), most people struggle to open their hearts to others and are difficult to decide on intimate relationships, fearing that they may suffer from them. To avoid this, they created high and thick walls around their hearts to protect themselves from any possible danger. And although the walls can prevent pain and suffering, but they also stop loving others and being loved.

Sex and Advertising

In addition, we live in an economic system where everything is based on consumption, where people are constantly feeling pressure, they are literally forced to buy certain goods.

This pressure is greatly enhanced by the advertising industry. How? We are constantly trying to convince that buying things is the solution to all our problems. For example, if you feel lonely and unloved, advertisements sell you products or services that will make you more confident, beautiful and attractive to others. In fact, most advertisements use our inescapable need for social communication.

Sex is sold everywhere: in the movies, in the magazines that we read, even in the clothes that we wear. Day after day, we are showered with countless sexual messages. It's no wonder that people became obsessed with sex, believing that this is the only thing that really matters in life. But, no matter how many love stories and "sexual" foods we consume, we still feel empty inside and crave more, because none of these things can provide us with what we really want - sincere heartfelt affection.

Sex as a substitute for love

Even the most sexual act is not enough to quench our thirst. Genitalia can rub against each other, but when there is no friction between the hearts of two people, the spark of love can not be ignited.

Love is more than bed rest and temporary pleasure, obtained from a brief physical contact. Hence the obsession with sex. Despite the number of contacts, people do not get satisfaction, but because they want more and more, although sex itself is not what we really want.

Sex as an act of love

We wholeheartedly desire to love and be loved, and banal sex can not replace this. He can provide only a short-term illusion of love, unite two bodies, but he has no power to unite two hearts that are distant from each other. And while the hearts are divided, sex can not provide us anything good.

However, when two hearts are united, sex takes a completely different form - it becomes an expression of sincere feelings. Through sex, lovers can communicate with body and soul, that is, all of their being.

You can safely say that for true love, sex is not so important, because it can stand on its own legs without the need for crutches, that is, in sexual intercourse. But sex can become a love game between two people, a dance where two people together reach orgasm, enjoy the rapturous moments.

Sex and transcendence

Lost in the arms of the beloved, we are in some ways dying. The sparkling flame of love in the heart, along with the incredible pleasure of sexual intercourse, does not leave room for the ego.

When we are in love, our minds with their past and future, all our cares and worries dissolve. And this is exactly what love is. This is a pleasant fading, that is, the disappearance of all boundaries, a sense of belonging to a large whole, the depth of which we can not understand. When this happens, we shine and feel just fine. Nothing else is needed - we feel complete and do not need anything. Desires and expectations stop tormenting us, and we accept life as it is.

Conclusion

As long as there is no love between the two partners, sex can not be anything more than just a manifestation of selfishness. Partners will try to control and use each other, turn each other into their sexual objects solely for personal satisfaction. Without knowing, they want to get love as a result of sex, but love is a feeling that can not come by coercion or desire. Accepting sex for love and wanting to quench your thirst for real communication, people become obsessed with more and more sexual acts, not realizing that they are trying to drink from an empty well.
