Carnaval has started. For those you you who know it's festival of the fools right before the catholic period of fasting. Now I'm not catholic....but then again neither are most people that celebrate it.

As I'm sitting here at work next to the window in central Eindhoven I see countless people pass me by in silly clothing, Cuckatoos, Eeore (the donkey...don't know how to spell his name) and people that went for a general an silly look with lot's and LOT's of flashy colours, feathers etc.

Carnaval is also know for a few other things.
1 Alcohol, (beer but soo much of it that people don't know how much they've had)People get WAY too drunk.
2 Sex It's deemed that if you cheat on your partner during this time it's unfortunate but hey...it happends so no harm done right? It was only carnaval afterall.
3 The insanely massive amount of people that get a flu afterwards.

 

Now those people that indulge in sex with strangers during this time have got me thinking. Why does society focus on sex that much? I mean I just don't get it. It's a fun activity.....but for me if I didn't love my wife as much as I do I could think of better ones.

 

And yet everyone is always talking about it. Just the other day I was listening to the radio to...uhm....(don't laugh) Rihanna. (You're laughing aren't you? STOP that. I'm trying to make a point here) and unlike her previously annyong song about a water reppellant device (Umbrella for those who didn't get it) I was actually quite enjoying the beat, rythm and even the lyrics for as much as I was paying attention. The song was called "Please don't stop the music".

Then I started listening to the song. The Chorus was pretty good. This girl sings about how she loves dancing, how she enjoys dancing with (probably) a guy.

 

Then comes the main part of the song. And ON with the sex theme.

She starts singing about what she'd like to do to this guy being not very graphic at all but letting imagination do most of the work. Same goes for almost anything in Hiphop or R&B that I've seen lately. The Dance scene is pretty much the same. They don't sing much...but when they do oh Boy....it's pretty detailed.

Seems to me that the only genre still safe is Rock in general....and even then that's not always true.

And we see it on TV all the time. It's on talkshows, in magazines, you name it you'll find sex there.

 

People argue: But it's a perfectly natural body function, perfectly normal.

 

Well....so's taking a crap....and that can be pretty damn enjoyable as well...especially when you've been holding it up for a while....

But you don't here me talking about that all the time either do you? I don't go around describing in detail what color it was, how I sat on the toilet, what I'd eaten the previous day that made my crap look like that. etc etc.

 

Point is. Sex is normal between consenting adults (I'd say don't do it unless you're married but hey...that's me) but please don't involve ME in your sexlife. I've pretty much got my hands full with me own without having to worry about yours....
