I don't know if I have the same view on this as other people do (in fact, I'm damn sure there's some people that are gonna disagree) but one thing that gets on my nerves is people who are very scrupulous and offended when jokes are made about sex or something. This might be more of a problem for me because I'm in high school and there are some people still maturing, but I think there's still people like this. At my school, I hang out with a group of people that is okay with joking around or talking about sex and matters relating to it, but there are some people who just abhor talking about it. I don't understand why sex is such a (for lack of a better word atm) taboo thing. People should be open about it. Parents hide it from their children and some are sheltered. It is natural and healthy.
I read a book called Brave New World (which I guess I can fit into this thread) which is an incredible read. The book is about a dystopia in which people are genetically engineered and how exactly they are made depends on their social caste. The children are encouraged to engage in "erotic play." Basically, when the children are five, they are encouraged to explore their and the opposite sex's bodies. The book described a whole group of them running around doing this. One girl came back crying, saying that this boy would not engage in it, and he was sent somewhere for mental conditioning. For one, I would have loved to do this when I was five. Second, it would have answered a lot of questions instead of the internet. Also, this to me is start. It seems a better way of conducting things then making people sensitive about the subject.
I think people should be more open about their emotions, as they are humans. For some reason Rome to me seems like that. And the late 1800s and the 1900s.
I guess I wanted to say how much sensitive/scrupulous people sometimes get on my nerves.
Oh yes, please do refine my opinion, as I find it hard to articulate everything.
Edit: Erotic play as in just seeing what the deal is and getting comfortable.
Although, in the society they live in, everyone has sex with people, not forming long-lasting relationships. That seems a bit much.
