Every now and then there is something that just irk me in life. As blunt as that opening is, I will now take the time to talk about the latest in the line of irks.
So a few days ago I was visiting my family in Arizona, pretty chill, lotsa fun catching up with everyone. I was visiting my grandma at her house and a few family members came over to see me, including my Aunt Kelly, my little cousin Brittany, my uncle Bill, and Barry, and my cousin Brandon, with him he brought his girlfriend whats-her-face.
I was sitting on the couch next to my little sister, and my little cousin Brittany came trolloping into the room, hyper as usual. What was different was her arm-wear, she had on those sex bracelets that are hip and what-not.So that was interesting, I wondered to myself why a 7 year old would be wearing something that advertised sexual activities and openness, but yeah, my thoughts wander and I quickly focused on something else that was on my mind. Brittany kept flaunting around and eventually the bracelets caught the attention of both my younger sister Jill, and my cousins girlfriend whats-her-face.Jill made a comment to Brittany about what she has to do when it breaks and made the gesture of oral sex, whats-her-face laughed and my little cousin Brittany said she was fully aware of the consequences.
Now what was just flat out shocking was the fact that the sounded fucking normal to me. It didn't even occur to me what had just happened. I just sat there and nodded and accepted it, how fucking sick is that? After sitting there and thinking about this for some time I came to the conclusion that I've had it pounded into my head so many times that a woman's openness is her own shit, if she wants to be a slut she can, such and such. I thought about how kids don't wait anymore or remain abstinent and how younger generations are focusing more and more on sex, not just for pleasure or love, but now it's for acceptance, items and shit like that.
Then it hit me, am I fucking hypocrite?I've practiced un-marital sex with my girlfriend, where the fuck does that fit into my equation? Is she a slut? Is there actually a difference in sex if you're in love with the person? What kind of fucking image and morales has the media bled into our lives?
Just sitting here now all I can think about is how much of a hypocrite I am, how can I be upset about kids not remaining abstinent and then going out and having sex myself? I love my girlfriend more than anything, but who I am to judge whether or not these kids love each other. We can't buy love, no, we can't sell feeling. Right and wrong aren't always black and white.
After taking all of that into consideration I stick by my statement, that a 7 year old girl should not know what sex is, should not know how to suck a cock, or any other sort of sexual activity. A 7 year old girl should just be a 7 year old, have fun with life, not have to worry, cry when they don't get their way, not flaunting themselves like a fucking car on display.
So I guess that's all I got, if anyone reads this, let me know what you think.
