It is most common in the western countries. In America we have a puritan society that send mixed signals about sex. Most people view it as dirty. so commercials about titillate them. In Buddhist countries there are ads with sex but it is usually humor. basically the people that call themselves Christians have screwed everything up.

Even those who seem to dispose people secretly wanted to be love. Love is what makes life meaningful. The material things in life are pale compare to love.Love is something which money cannot buy. Sure, you can go to a prostitute for sex, but do you really consider this love?

Porn is a sin against God (Lusting after a woman is just the same as having sex with her hence the sin of adultery or fornication)  and it also provokes un realistic expectations in the people watching it.  Example if their wife is not like the porn queen then a man is not satisfied with her.  It is also a form of prostitucion, in that women are selling pictures of themselves.  It is degrading to the women in that it isn't important who or what they are, the person just wants to see them naked.  People who do this eventually get to the point that the whole focus of their lives is sex and they are never satisfied with what they have.  It also carries with it the danger of demonic spirits that will ruin your life.  And at the end of your life here on earth you can look forward to eternity without God.  If we were governed by the Bible in our sex lives then AIDS would just disappear on its own.  God means for us to be happy and his rules lead to health and happiness in our lives.

Because they want sex.  It doesn't always matter who with and they figure if they can get it from you without the attachment, then they don't have to work so hard.

Yes, it bothers me too!  My guess is because society thinks of sex as sensual, which it typically is, they've reversed the definition to say that sensuality is sexual, which it CAN be but doesn't HAVE to be.  \n\nGood question.  :)

IT SHOULD BE ART.but it's not because so many do it out of lust and wanting to brag. but if it was used the way it is supposed to be used like for married adults then it would be an art but it is nether it is nothing but a sweaty in and out motion

I'm not a guy like that, I have a good christian girl I can share my views and beliefs with. Sex is a very sacred thing that should be saved for marriage. I believe some guys are obessed with sex because they feel that love and sex are interelated, when in all actuality sex isn't love.

Sex is not just an activity. Sex is "supposed" to be a special bonding shared between married people. That is if you believe in God. Otherwise, sex is at the discretion of the two consenting adults as to what it means to them. If you have a blanket that keeps you warm and is very comfortable and feels good, you get attached to it right? Why wouldn't you get attached to some good sex???

we "modern humans", both men and women, i have seen have started getting such tendencies to seek a relationship outside even if they are satisfied .\n\neven in countries like mine - India - which is much more conservative and where marriages are by and large done once in a life and they survive till both die\n\ni attribute 2 reasons for it - greed and the need for change.\n\nGreed because man & woman want more and more out of life in the area of sexual and emotional fulfilment. Meaning they want such things from more than 1 people\n\nChange because like every other thing, many people have started taking relationships as a commodity, which should be changed frequently. Instead of understanding the partner, they just live them alone for self-good.

People are obsessed because they're obsessed with celebrities in general.  Looks have a lot to do with "orientation" as you put it and that will not change; it's human nature.  You don't live in a Utopia where what you think should be is; you live in the real world where what is IS.\n\nYou adopt the stance that "these things" shouldn't matter, but just because you say it doesn't make it so.  The truth is, to most people it does matter because they are fundamental elements of what make a person what they are.

Sounds about right.  They seem to be more interested in sex and what others do in the privacy of their own bedroom than the rest of us.  I often wonder where that obsession with sex comes from.  Then I think I probably don't want to know!

Because all people not just married people have become so self centered and self absorbed they believe it's their RIGHT to do whatever makes THEM feel good regardless of the consequences to them or others.  People are so cavalier about marriage and sex anymore.  Nothing is more important to people than their own twisted wants and desires.

Sex is a beautiful, and creative thing and is only considered dirty or sinful by those who 1. wish to control others 2. those who have guilt, fear or psycological difficulties. Sex is part of life and as long as it is between concenting adults...is no sin!

Because we are still way too Victorian.  Once upon a time (I've told this story before, a long time ago, sex was considered normal....as normal as eating, sleeping, etc...a part of life.  However, it was denigrated by Christians in the past as evil.  Making something forbidden and evil corrupts it.  People abuse it.  Just like eating.  If one has no issues with food, there is no problem.  But food issues causes problems like anorexia, bulimia, obesity, etc.  I like to blame a lot of this on christian because they deny the body thinking only issues of the soul are good.  But we are body and soul.  It is only in acceptance of our body that we become balanced (by the way I know it is not just Christians that do this but they have done so much to destroy peace of mind regarding this.)   Question for uptights:  Who do you think invented sex?  Do you think God did?  And if he/she did, why is it we have that strong urge even when we are alone and without are partner?  Didn't God invent that too?

I think noone of those who answered noticed that the key question is not WHY DO WE ADORE SEX?! it's why do we discard the partner after getting our fix of it.\n\nI would say it's coz most people take the easy way, they want to eat the cake but not help bake it!\n\nSad...

first to begin with sex was given to husband and wives to express their love and commitment to each other. your body was not meant to be shared with everyone it is supposed to be a gift to your spouse.\n\npornography destroys the real meaning of sex, it opens you up to the devil and his plans to destroy our souls.\n\nbottom line pornography is sinful.

An interesting human trait is to pursue things that are secret or forbidden.  Since US parents tend to keep sexuality hidden from their children and tell them it is wrong/forbidden, it actually results in teens pursuing sex as a way to rebel or develop a self of self different from their parents.  If US society didn't make sex so evil because of religion, teens would not be so interested in it.  It wouldn't be such a big deal.
