Sex and Modern Communications

   I am often embarrassed when I am watching what is rated as a “G” or “PG” movie with my grandchildren when the language becomes questionable and bare bodies fill the screen in some form of tortuous embrace. Before it gets really raunchy, I just turn it off. However, I am always concerned about the aftermath; often angry that my grandchildren should be exposed to such perversion of a communication media. There is no need for sexual innuendos – implicit or explicit – or for foul language in order to be dramatic, novel, and entertaining.

It seems that no matter where we turn, there are bodies in various states of undress on the screen – whether of a large scale video receiver or of a cell phone. It has been estimated that as many as 25% of the commercial websites are pornographic, a figure which quite frankly I found hard to believe; or perhaps I don’t want to believe it. It seems that every writer must use four letter words – even if they become seven letter words with the appendage of “ing” – for dramatic effect. The same is true, of course, of many video series and motion pictures. Such language has even penetrated the board room and business meetings.

There is nothing of that nature in the musicals “Les Miserables”, “Phantom of the Opera”, “My Fair Lady”, or “The Sound of Music” to name a few. There is no such language or risqué sex in any of the works of George Bernard Shaw, Victor Hugo, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Edgar Allen Poe, and on and on. The classic movies produced by Alfred Hitchcock and John Ford must be included in these artistic masterpieces that eschewed random explicit sex. The great masters in paint – Monet, Rembrandt, El Greco, and the like – certainly did not depict explicit erotic sexual encounters.  If you have any type of inquiries relating to where and how you can make use of のぞき, you could contact us at the web site.

And yet, sex is present in all of these works of art in any media. That is the sex of love between persons, a love associated with the character of the person and their relationship growth and actions. Certainly embracing and kissing are part of the human relationship of two people. Going beyond that is an intrusion of personal privacy, good taste, and unnecessary pandering to the baser instincts of people.

It is certainly possible to write a novel that includes a growing love and affection of two people as part of the development of their characters without resorting to the use of foul language or to inappropriate descriptions of sexual encounters.

Sex is sacred. It is part of our two gender human nature, and part of the procreation of life. Sex also must include a sense of responsibility, decency, and respect for other people. Sex is fun and the center of demonstrating love; it is not a voyeur sport or a business product. It is possible to produce a high quality, successful, and entertaining work of art, whether a novel, a play, a movie script, or painting, that I can view in my living room with my young grandchildren.
