Adam and Eve and the Forbidden Fruit of Knowledge
aka Sexual Revolution 2.0!
Sex is everywhere and in almost every aspect of human nature. To state the obvious, we are all a product of sex. It is our life force and how we use this powerful energy will affect our whole lives.
However, in an examination of sex in the modern world, we see that the famous Sexual Revolution that started in the sixties has now stalled.
That may not seem obvious. After all, we are surrounded by images of sex, in TV, pornography and advertising. Sometimes it seems as though we are drowning in sexual imagery. However when looking closer, we find that people are not actually having much sex. Modern life surrounds us with images of “sexy” but it somehow does not make us more “sexual”.
Living in a sexy but not sexual world is rather like having a diet of Junk Food. Superficially it is fulfilling but not on the deeper level. Lack of sex in people’s lives leads to what is known as sexual substitution. We engage in many behaviours such as compulsive shopping or exercise in order to fill the gap left by sex.
We have basic needs, food, water, shelter and sleep. If we do not get any of those regularly we will get sick and then die. It’s as simple as that. We would argue that sex is also a basic need albeit one that is slightly different. Of course we do not die if we don’t have sex. Many people even have happy fulfilling lives without sex being a regular part of it. However, when a person does not have ease with love and sexuality in their lives then in some way dysfunction arises.
It is our central argument in this book that dysfunction in sexuality in certain aspects of human behavior are root causes in many of the problems we face around the world today.
Sex is a very powerful and controversial subject in every human culture. We must be able to speak freely about this forbidden subject. This is one of our main intentions; to encourage rather than stifle debate. In other words, this is NOT a politically correct blog. Though we mean no offense to any particular group, there are those who will feel offended anyway. In this blog we will look at major issues in the world today and make connections to human sexuality. In each one of the articles we explore the connections between sex and a particular facet of human behavior.
Sexual Revolution 2.0 would like to improve upon the old sexual revolution:
- To foster genuine equality between men and women or feminism for men as well as women!
- To re-examine the ways we look at and define sex, sexuality and sexual identity in the world today.
- To open discussions on the various ways that sex permeates every facet of our behaviour in ways that are dysfunctional and in ways that are very functional!
- Rediscovering the natural joy, health and energy that comes through loving and connecting with our primal nature
- Acknowledging our dwindling environmental resources and the need to reduce population growth.
- Recognizing the benefits of empowering female choice so that every child is a wanted child.
- Using natural alternatives for those dissatisfied with the health and ecological side effects of artificial birth control methods.
- Learning to be happy within ourselves, and through our relationships, to prevent mindless consumption
- Re-examining our relationship structures to see if we can find more efficient and fulfilling cooperative relationships and in the process creating an environment that is open to diversity in sexual choices and partnership types
19th Century French Erotica: Sexual Revolution 2.0!
In our exploration of these topics we are very much looking forward to creating a new conversation about sex and equality!
Sexual Equalism beta deals with major issues in the world today and how they are affected by human sexuality. This is a practical look at many of the problems facing society today and observing the connection of sex to both the problem and certain solutions. This blog is written with truth in mind. We are not trying to be politically correct because sex itself is not politically correct. In a sense it is us at our rawest truth. The essence of who we are as a species.
Sexual Equalism is a more inclusive form of feminism that respects men and male rights as an essential facet in the movement towards true equality between the genders in all their forms. Sexual Equalism also expands to include seeking equality among various forms of sexual and gender identity.
In our exploration of these topics we are trying to start a new conversation about sex, gender, society and equality!
Sexual Equalism beta – A work in progress.
Rather than write in the background and then publish, we decided to publish as we create this book!
Unlike a normal “book” that only allows readers in when it is complete and published, we have adopted a decidedly different approach. By opening the door to perusal of our book as it is being written, we invite feedback and debate. This allows us the possibility to make minor adjustments and improvements to our ideas and research in real time. As an evolutionary mechanism, we believe that our open policy to feedback as we are writing the book can only help. It will allow us to refine and evolve the concepts that we are presenting here so they can withstand the inevitable criticism and controversy when the book is a final “physical” product.
We invite you to be part of this experiment in book writing! This allows a more open form of feedback in the partially completed articles and posts that we publish. So please feel free to comment on the posts as they are created!
