I have come to believe that the
world basically revolves around sex, hence my affinity to the Freudian school
of thought which postulates that, the existence of the libido is the underlying
subconscious energy with which mental
processes and structures are invested and which also generates erotic
attachments, and a death drive, the
source of repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt. You would realize
that almost everything we do as humans are directed at sex and if you think
otherwise, then our worlds must be apart.
Sex with all kinds of accolades
plays a lot of roles in our lives; it eases pain, reduces anxiety, heals us,
and gives us joy and many more I cannot list and will always come calling, as
long as our systems are functional.
Is it any wonder our generation
connote every object or even ideas to sex? Almost everything now has a sex
appeal, e.g. cars are now sexy, dresses are sexy, we have human figures which
are sexy and those that are not for both genders. Motorbikes comes sexily done,
not to talk about houses, our postures, gestures and just anything.
Our wise generation discovered miseducation
and everything went haywire. Ladies, now spend all their time pursuing
non-practical education for a Certificate; a mere printed paper whose lost can
be replaced by an attestation and at the expense of their biological
developments, signs and warnings which is irreplaceable by any sustainable
method known by man.
Formal education as a social
value has eroded the science of nature which is dictated by all the changes we
undergo as humans; changes that cannot be altered in any way whatsoever.
Since no one can actually cheat
nature in its entirety, young men and women are not able to ignore their heat feelings, so somehow, they find
ways to gratify sex but only for sensual reasons thus pleasure, when they ought
to have been married and if possible, still pursuing their miseducation. And since sex for any reason other than propagative
purposes primarily will only result in pain, sickness, sorrow and death, our
generation is having its fair share of all the above.
Young ladies are always queued up
to carry out abortions of pregnancies they could have kept while most of them are
busily educating themselves notwithstanding the fact that they still fail in
the end and others end up losing their womb which brings about untold hardships
and its related misery.
Both young men and women are
contracting venereal diseases every hour thus failing themselves and society as
a whole in the process, and all these comes with depression, not to talk about
its rippling effects. Our generation will surely discourage and possibly laugh
at an 18 year old girl who wants to marry. She would be asked if she knows what
she is getting herself into. She would be asked to narrate all she knows about
love, as if, that is what it should necessarily take. The person is responding
to the biological changes in her system like menstruating periodically, the
need for companionship and the need to be sexually satisfied and you talking
about love?
Sex has plunged many individuals
and nations into destruction. Scandals in sex has brought many respectable men
on their knees and brought untold hardships on them. Many embittered people are
prowling in our society calling themselves broken-hearted just because their
partners have refused to have sex with them any longer or have initiated sex
with another person who eventually has come to occupy their space.
People are killing others
everyday because they have either perceived or found out that their partners
are having sex with others and by now you cannot underestimate the power of sex
and all the thoughts it provokes in our minds. It will interest you to note
that, most issues that emanate from marital relationships all revolves around
sex. Either the man wants more or less of sex to which the other partner is not
enthused about or one of them is having it elsewhere or both.
You must be out of your senses if
you have been underestimating sex anyway. Whether you are religious or an
atheist, sex comes with a burden most people cannot carry especially if you
fail to have it for the right reasons which is propagation.
God in his ten commandments given
to Moses emphatically commanded Christians not to either commit fornication or
adultery which outrightly bars the unmarried from having sex and I am wondering
how you have fared with these two commandments or probably, it’s just one of
those fictional stories and should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
Indiscriminate sex certainly has
its consequences and no one can escape it even in the long run. Sex is an
energy which must not be toyed with and if you are wondering how energetic sex can
be, then watch how semen from a sex encounter metamorphoses a woman until she
delivers another human being who becomes an extension of his family of
procreation with an almost striking resemblance to its parents.
A friend of mine, Kofi Wilson, in
a discussion sometime ago gave me an enlightened perspective on sex which has
lingered on my mind for some time now. He sought to say, everyone has been
bestowed with immense power or energy which is represented by sex or
reproductive organs or even the number of sex we will have. As generative as
sex is, every sex should be directed at propagating ourselves i.e. to multiply
our empires to help us fight when the Armageddon war starts (Rev 16:16)
We are supposed to be multiplying
like the sand at the shore as instructed by God, our Creator, but the famed
serpent whose encounter with Eve changed everything has managed to introduce to
us, family planning methods, contraceptives, condom usage and other means of
averting that generative force from coming into fruition. It doesn’t want us to
be ready for the war. The serpent
wants us to be powerless, frail, pathetic and hopeless soldiers even before the start of the war.
All other things being equal, if
sex can bring forth another human being which becomes a force to reckon with, then,
do you know how much energy in the form of human that you have been wasting
which you might be compelled to account for someday?
Do you know how many other human
beings you could have surrounded yourself with, with all the generative force
which you have turned into a pleasure expedition and the pills you have been
popping?
God must be very displeased with us
but we can turn around and safeguard what is left of our curse where
pain, humiliation, sorrow, sickness and eventual death will be our portion.
generative faculty.
Let us stop using it as a means to an end. Let’s stop using it as collateral
for school and hostel fees. Let’s not give it out for a film premiering at Silverbird
or to make a fantasy come to fruition. Let’s stop using it as a means to
securing a vacancy slot. Let’s also stop the practice of using what we have to
get what we want because the only thing we should want from what we have is a
child, lest we remain in our
If you know all about sex and respond
to it accordingly but cannot stay without it, then get married and have it as
much as you want so that you can also fall within the divine plan and probably
get ready for the war.
