The Why
Have you ever stopped and taken into account why you have sex? Not so much in the existential and philosophical sense, bur rather on a case by case basis. Think about the last five times you've been physical and why you got jiggy with it: do any of your reasons align with the results of this survey about why we have sex? It is interesting to note that in the top 10, the slight majority of reasons were physical and pleasure-based, with emotional reasons lagging just slightly behind. Both of these types of reasons are the rosy and wonderful reasons to have sex. When you look at the least popular reason, yet reasons reported nonetheless, we find distinctly more troubling sexual options. As Justin Lehmiller notes, sex isn't just about pleasure and makin' babies!
Moving Past the Past
We've come a long way, baby! Sure, we can definitely need initiatives like #AdultSexEdMonth, but our sexual situation has certainly changed significantly over the course of human history. Consider what sex was like in Medieval times. Intestine and linen condoms (still better than LELO Hex?), almost everything fun like anal, oral, and queer sex was a sin. Missionary was expected and celibacy was prized. Sadly, we know that there are still people in the world looking to make those historical times a current reality. What's that they say about learning from the past?
Accessible Action
Love 'em or hate 'em, it is hard to deny that adult entertainment giant Pornhub is having an immeasurable impact on the porn industry. There are definitely many reasons to not want anything to do with this behemoth, but then they go ahead and do something admirable. Recently, Pornhub launched 50 clips across the sexuality spectrum that are embedded with descriptive video for those with vision challenges.
