The Thin line between Sex and Sexuality

The thin line between Sex and Sexuality

Sex, a word that’s as common as the air we breathe, a word synonymous with the generation today!

Our World:
We live in a world of contrasts, a world of colourful people. And amidst the trials a tribulations, we face in life, there are versions of our own small worlds locked somewhere deep in our souls. Like our world of children, our world surrounded by the sorrows of our hearts and tugging closely to our hearts is the blissful world of SEX! So what do I mean by depicting so many worlds under one single page? Well, we are all but in our own trial processes in reaching out and understanding true happiness and it in this endeavour that we forget our aim in life, that to live and let live!

Growing Up:
Ever noticed how great men in particular feel on the mere mention of visiting a pub or strip tease bar! Their faces don’t need a reason not to be brilliantly lit! As I understand it, this is but a part of growing up! I mean, don’t we all consider our boys to act normal! And that normalcy is attained when he dates girls, dumps them, visits pubs and the list is endless. If you don’t believe in sending your kiddos, then you are either too chicken with the thought or are too orthodox! Whatever do I mean? I’ll explain, I think we all need to understand that there is a thin line between Sex and Sexuality! For many "Sex" is just the ‘act’ for others, it’s a way to unwind with a loved one, for others it’s a bonding, an expression of love! For me it’s an extended form of Touch Therapy, a passion play of exploration!

Sex & Sexuality:
Lets take an example. When you dress provocatively, (we all know that innately we are attention seekers in some way or the other) what’s your first reaction to what you’ve put yourself into? I’ll tell you, you feel confident, well, most of the time, you feel the fabric that’s clinging on to you, and the next action, (like a reflex action) is that you wait and automatically twist your head around to see if someone’s looking at you or not. Next, you exhale! Exhale all the unwanted stares, the love handles that you’ve tried to push back and well; handle! Any idea why you do that? Because in this world of make-believe, there are certain aspects of human life which we women tend to attach with our psyche! Like complementing each other! It doesn’t cost much for a man to pay a compliment to his lady but that never happens. Men don’t realize it but they, like all of us love to view the greener pasture of life.

So while switching channels, they can’t but help ogling at the "artistic" dancers at the Lido show, which they necessarily miss to catch on the late night T.V. show. And in return for your bloodshot eyes, you’re more often than not given the expression, "well she looks Sexy right!!", ‘just appreciating,’ Yeah Right!’

For them Sex, is just the act of releasing energy, an act of their satisfaction, and ours too, sexuality on the other hand gets defined plainly in pouting, dressing or behaving sexily! So would you ever go about deciphering the meaning? Not really, because you are a woman, and like it or not, if you have goals in life and priorities well sorted out, you simply shrug off and let this so-far thin line into leaving it that way, thin! At most you might try working out and toning yourself, but like I said, if women can get to merging the two and define it in a manner that paints a picture of themselves along the way. I think we can then be even more proud of the fact that history taught us something on Women’s Liberation!
