Hunger & Sex.

Think about hunger and sex. Both are common needs experienced by men and women alike. But wanting to eat food is all right, but wanting sex is a no-no! Its taboo! Whisper it behind closed doors, talk about it amongst close friends, but out in the open, SHUT the hell up about sex! You can't speak about the topic! No one feels comfortable talking about it, or even listening to a discussion about sex. Why?

Embarrassed about sex? Why not embarrassed about eating? WHO taught you that you need not be embarrassed about hunger but must be embarrassed about sex? 

I know a girl who lives near me who almost everyday runs to the doorstep of my house and screams out her passion for food for the whole world to hear. Nobody really feels uncomfortable about that, I just wished that the walls were a little thicker. Wonder what the reaction would be if I went around doing the exact same, but screaming out my love for sex instead? 

Why why why is sex so wrong wrong wrong? Is gluttony not as evil a sin as lust? Why is gluttony so readily accepted in society but not lust?

Again, skewed perceptions passed down generation to generation, mindlessly taught to our youths and memorised by millions. 

Everybody knows, but nobody knows why.
