Misused Sex

I shall be direct & brief...

Sex is a wonderful thing. When done with love it becomes divine.

Two bodies intertwined in passion; the shawl of love sanctifying the blessed act; energies flowing; moist promising life; the lock that forever bonds a loving couple.

But then we have plain sex. An act based on pleasure for the sake of pleasure only; irresponsibly done and disposed of as if it were a commodity.

Two bodies intertwined in lust; the shawl of hedonism desecrates what should be a sacred act; energies flow only to block; moist promises death; the lock between a penis & a vagina bonds not.

People use sex to belittle and humiliate themselves.

When someone makes use of sex to get a job, a promotion or climb the social ladder, that individual is telling, not only the world, but mainly itself that it is incapable of finding a job through its own intellectual merit; a promotion through its creativity, intelligence, and hard work; and/or climb the social ladder by the respect gained through an honourable conduct (yes, money alone means nothing in certain circles: one’s demeanour is highly important).

A human being who uses sex in such fashion is acknowledging that it doesn’t respect and thinks not highly of itself.

On the other hand, doesn’t this being hold the right to do with its body whatever it wishes? The first answer that comes to my mind is: Yes, it does. But then I think to myself that even though it has the right to do whatever it wishes, it doesn’t mean that it is correct to do so.

Let’s delve into this: two people work in a company (or any other institution) and person A is dynamic, highly creative, it invests a lot of working hours, it knows the meaning of team work, it is a natural born leader, it is the apple of any company’s eyes; person B is a regular worker, sufficiently creative, it works from 9 to 5, it is slightly socially challenged, it is practically a median employee. When the time came to promote one of them, person B was the selected one.

(N.B: person B sleeps with the CEO)

I ask, what is it like to be inside the mind of these people? When they look at the poor competent colleague who missed its promotion because he/she is honest...do they think “You are an idiot. You should’ve slept with the boss, before I did: thank God you didn’t though”?

What are their conscience’s last thoughts before they fall asleep? Do they have any conscience at all?

Negative sex overshadows good sense and sensibility.
