Sexual evolution
Sex in America has become very structured. I think this is largely due to the need to put everything in a box, label it, and organize it. This is this, and that is that. Porn and Internet dating have further enhanced the dividers with their particularities. Everything is measured, weighed, and categorized. Body build, beasts, dick size. And then what actually transpires sexually between two or more partners is more or less preordained, as if reading a screen play. Down to every little fetish. Whats troublesome about all of this is not the scientific fervor with which sex is dissected and placed in jars filled with formaldehyde. Whats troublesome is the fact that the one thing that actually matters- personal chemistry- is completely ignored. Sex changes, you're not into the same thing with the same people, it evolves over time, it's fluid (sometimes more so thanks to large amounts of lube :-)). And that is something we cannot quite grasp, we cannot quite capture, we cannot really pin down and display.
