There are several ways to write, show, talk or otherwise make known your views about matters sexual and explicit. These I shall broadly catagorize and describe, according to my own opinions, in no particular order of merit :
1. Art - Whereby any sort of nudity or intercourse is elevated to a gift from God as a beautiful and cherished means of intimate knowledge and love-making. It is captured in image or language for the appreciation and edification of man, and comes attached with values or implications such as marriage, unconditional love, sacrifice, even religion. There is a clear difference between the 'black' and 'white' of sex, black pertaining to all things mundane and boorishly human (such as prostitution). It's all rather noble and refined, pompously and piously so, to the extent of being idealistic.
2. Porn - Lacking any sort of emotion or morality, this occurs in the form of alleviating (or arousing, as according to the scenario) sexual desire, by means of substandard videos, graphic descriptions or drawings or just talking about it. It is a very physical and need-of-the-moment kind of thing, after which we leave off to continue our lives as per usual.
3. Fantasy - Abundant and ubiquitous in the life of adolecents and adults, it includes fanfiction, fanart, fan-girling, innuendos and most of things (RA)ted that find their way into our thoughts. These things are dirty but amusing ideas we have that we put to words or paper. The side of us that craves scandal and spectacle is suitably provoked by fantasy, but it is seldom a manifestation of actual physical need. (When push comes to shove, nobody in 10S03N would even want to kiss anyone else, despite all the between-the-sheets jokes. The same goes for fanfiction. Right?) Fantasy, in my opinion, can be highly interesting and enjoyable if done with skill, tact and innovation.
Final Fantasy VII (Sephiroth/Cloud)See what I mean? Nicely done. (Not that I support this pairing.)
Historical symbols, legends and figures do play an important part in conveying hidden sexual meanings. It always adds depth to a story; even if one lacks the knowledge, a cleverly placed pun or innuendo is always comical without being too crude. The classier the innuendo, the more creative the pun, the better. As far as 10s03N goes, we're still in this catergory. Shaun does filthy with style.
Then again, MJ and Dogtor are borderlining the edge of ero-fantasy into trash.
4. Trash - My dumping ground for ridiculously unrealistic scenarios and/or prowess in the characters make for repugnating, offensive and nausea inducing stories. Includes trashy chicklit, chickflicks, romance novels, badly written fanfiction, and hideously vulgar descriptions. Enough said.
5. Scientifically speaking - Ah, I nearly forgot, and me a biology student! Well, looking at things from a purely educational or research oriented point of view, we are reminded that lust, desire and love are all products of electric charges along long white stringy things known as nerves, or a mixture of chemical hormones and pheromones. Makes me want to delf deeper and deeper into the workings of the medulla oblongata and the hypothalamus, and even the curiously unhinging thought that all these electrical impulses, cellular 'wires' (nerves) and systematic ongoings make us very, very, very alike to robots, appeals to my preference for 'natural equality' - I disagree that mankind be elevated to the pedestal of 'divine animal' or what not. We exhibit animalistic enough qualities in everyday life. The athletic, the attractive and the wealthy are hardly different from the meanest male baboons with the most enlarged crimson butt and the largest harem of females. Back to the original topic, yes; again, science requires detailed knowledge of sex for the noble quest of knowledge and development.
And hence, ladies and gentleman, we are all living in a world where sex is inherrent and omni-present. Barricading ourselves in a microcosm of innocence and naivete does keep you free of immoral influence, but it's hardly a practical solution, is it?
