It is peculiar however, that when it's explicitly brought up a lot of people find it uncomfortable to talk about, despite it being inadvertently plastered in just about every aspect of society.
Which, feel free to believe that, but every once in awhile, you should be able to throw that filthy monkey off of your back and say, "Yeah, this is all kinda filthy and gross, to be honest."
Eating is also a horrendously disgusting process when you get down to the crude mechanisms that are allowing it to happen, but I still like to eat tasty food. If you reword or break apart concepts and actions to their base components, you can basically make anything sound like shit.

Do you think I enjoy being a vegan?
No, Verb, everything is not shit. There is, in fact, pleasure to be found in life sometimes.
We definitely are when women can't walk around without a shirt on just like men. It's OK or us to do it but it's something else when a female does it due to a retarded double slandered. I know breasts are not sexual but for some odd reason we treat them that.

And how much of that pleasure is actually rational or meaningful, anyway? MOST people's pleasure is revolved around either drugs, alcohol, sex, or some combination of the three. Taking risks.
I'm gonna go with Freud here and say that it's all about dicks and shamefully wanting to have sex with your mother, because that's the most entertaining answer I can think of.
"Violence" depicted in blockbuster films is so mundane it's the equivalent of clothed dry humping. When most movies use jump-cuts to instantly look away from people getting shot and instantly falling off screen, it gives the the viewer much less time to react and feel the weight of the event (especially considering they're just joe-schmoes dying, and when a main character dies they usually only have a trickle of blood coming out their nose as they whisper off shitty dialogue then close their eyes peacefully).YouTubePG-13 movie and this scene is basically just an mentally undressing someone.YouTubeNo one sits their kid down in front of this because guess what? Violence can be variably graphic just as sexual themes can be.

If I have a kid, he's watching Private Ryan, Das Boot, Downfall, A Bridge too Far, Flags of our Fathers, Die Brรผcke, and the Beast by the time he's twelve.
We simultaneously have a very sexualized culture and one that is strangely embarrassed of it. Pornography is a good example; basically everyone uses it, but it's incredibly taboo to talk about it in most circles.
Is Society Afraid of Sexuality?
