Things that grind my gears (sex in media)

Sex in everything, grinds my bloody gears. Media, music, literature, T-shirts and every bloody advertisement on TV contain a sexual element that flames our basic need. Sex as a topic, is ok to be discussed. It's a natural need. It's a basic instinct. But fuck it, food is a basic instinct too, but you don't see it in car ads. What really grinds my gears about sex in media is when writers use is. I'm a writer, and I use sex in my work briefly, but it's away from the porn we read in modern novels. I'm talking about Arabic novels here, not western novels. Hell there is a lot of sex in our Arabic novels, along with politics and religion twists. This triangle sex-politics-religion seems to be fucken favored by novelist in this Middle East. Fine, I understand that we in this region suffer sexual explosion after the full exposure to western values, but moderation should be considered for once. I mean there is no rating in the Middle East in literature; hence any one can get whatever.


 

Media have the major influence on minors and even adults, and it could be the missile that destroys the remains of this nation. As for the UAE, the country is chocking with twisted values that are a way from its original. Dubai, the lost Arabic city is the source of major changes in the moral structure of this country. It's like Las Vegas in the Vatican City. Two different values in one country, and believe me, there is no fucken balance that can fix the damage.

Back to sex in media, the movies are filled with it, the music is floating on sexual content, and the minors are eating it up. What effect does that have, well, wait and see, and you'll witness a fucken corrupted society comes form this one.
