one of the most iconic erotic texts was written in the 3rd century (the kama sutra is not completely about sex but still) 😭

Counter culture starting in the 60s with the hippie movement began a sexual revolution where it was seen more on TV, talked about more in music in place of the typical love songs in previous years. Then came the color TV, which introduced pornography in the 80s with VCR tapes. Lo and behold, music became even more sexually driven, so we all valued sex more. Mainstream Music became dirtier and dirtier throughout Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z. So, culturally, blame the hippies. Then blame the studios.

You can find smut stories written hundreds of years ago, there are examples of pornographic DRAWINGS discovered from before cameras were even a thought. We as the human animal are programmed to have sex. It’s the one thing that carries on the species above all else. Some biologist apparently say that a man’s orgasm is actually an evolutionary trait to encourage reproduction. Men are programmed to have as much sex as possible with as many women as possible. It’s just nature. Always has been.

I mean sex is a massive part of life for like most people in the world. I don’t see why it should be any less prominent than death or money or good food or whatever, it’s important to a good chunk of everyday people

Study history and you’ll find we’ve been obsessed with it in one way or another for literally all of human history lol

I have a pet theory it’s cause of the decreased social mobility and social turbulence so it’s an easy “pleasurable” dostraction
