The choice of whether or not to have sex is a decision that only people who have choices need to make.
What general education system teaches us is to study hard, enter high school, and be upright and virtuous so that we can attract good partners through our success in our career.
However, no one has taught us how we should deal with our own desires. Regarding the results of the national referenda held in Taiwan in 2018, it was found that 6.8 million citizens, or close to 70% of the total number of voters, agreed that “curriculum on emotional education, sex education, and LGBTQ+ education shall NOT be applied to students in the national education system.”
This proves the extent to which emotional and sex education have been neglected.
The social pressure that comes with living in a place full of 6.8 million people keeps a generation of young adults, even "growns up," in the dark about "that kind of thing." Some people find that the hardest thing in the world is simply taking the initial step in finding that special person.
(What are the motivations behind preventing sex education? Do they know that sex is great, and the great sexual stimulation of intercourse may possibly lead to mental instability and depravity?)
True, from a biological standpoint, orgasm is a loss of control.
Being calm and kind is such a virtue for society, but sex is something that requires impulse and savagery. We need to be able to let our levels of dopamine, testosterone, and oxytocin rise; let us be able to act on our instincts, overstep, and escape the walls of the normal world.
Only behind that wall is an endlessly burning desert, and there alone we are able to take off the masks that hide us, efface time and space, efface our own identities, and unleash the most invisible filth of humanity with our feverish and out-of-control bodies.
Is sex truly dirty?
In regards to sexual desire, the fifteen-year-old may at times be on par with the fifty-year-old.
In the TV series “Sex Education,” Amy, who is fifteen, after learning the technique of her first orgasm, becomes addicted to masturbation every morning and every night, and the fifty-year-old principal’s wife, who has received her first vibrator, decides to divorce her husband.
Sex and orgasm are almost innate to the human form. It’s a game that can and should be played alone as well as among other human beings. Other animals do not reproduce “purely for pleasure’s sake.” They do not begin the reproductive cycle merely as a result of the pleasure of orgasm. They reproduce when and if they want to.
When our society collectively, and selectively, forgets these basic needs of humanity, and refuses to facilitate these flirting, teasing, and seduction behaviors that must be cultivated when engaging with members of the opposite (and also, of course, the same) sex, with gay males and females tending to be far more discriminating about their sexuality, many adults feel lost and confused about their own sexual lives.
Whether they are virgins or have been married for long, they still find it difficult to figure out the necessary things despite having access to a lot of information through the Internet.
"The loss of virginity” and “enjoying sexual relations” are acts of considerable seriousness because they entail the loss of a part of one’s nobility." Now, reflect for a moment—the person who very well understands the nuances of sex, who makes his partners feel comfortable, and who shows the most erotic version of himself—is this not the definition of nobility of interpersonal relations?
One has to experience the taste of the chili pepper before one is qualified to describe that taste to others. One has to learn how to use the ingredients before one is qualified to tell others how to make it.
Before we begin our sexual journey, it is important to understand our own body. Both men and women, when we rubbed our genitals accidentally in childhood, we had experienced this inexplicable tingling sensation.
Usually, the chance of orgasm is greater if it is self-induced in men. They were on the verge of bursting their testicles because of the hormones released during puberty.
For women, the story is different. It may be because of societal beliefs (women are meant to be ladylike, women can’t enjoy sex, etc.) or perhaps because of where their privates are located (it’s hard to see down there using a mirror), but most teenage girls are less active sexually compared to boys. (Even if they are, they won’t talk freely about it among their peers.) But even if guys started masturbating at a younger age, they still can’t provide comfort during actual sexual activity.
Never grumpy, always working hard, and making you feel like you've won the lottery—that little devil.
Most adults engage in using a vast range of sex toys such as vibrating eggs, massage sticks, masturbation devices, vibrating rings, among others. These devices have spread extensively over the years, ranging from the simplest forms to the most complex. These devices have won over a multitude of handbags, drawers, night tables, as well as gift bags on Christmas and Valentine's Day.
Sexuality toys were invented to promote and add to the experience of sex. They aren't only the best means of "knowing ourselves first," but the only safe and quickest means of doing so.
Sex toys can also amplify the pleasure of intimacy that a couple experiences. One can use them alone or with the other person; either in foreplay or during sex.
If you ever need them, they may even serve as your practice partner.
Sex is something we all share, and it is our common language.
The peril of sex is the disturbing, weird, and perverse desire, the lyrical ecstasy, and the revelation of vulnerability. But the afterglow of orgasm is like a cleansing of the soul that makes one experience a sense of balance, of reality, of vitality, of power after the delirious experience. Until the next climax, we can still find time to attempt to appreciate our insignificant repressions and unique rationality. Or, to start practicing a mystical language with fierce and violent solitude.
