...not just oral sex, but many other decisions that don't make sense, such as smoking, drinking, suicidal behavior, etc. BTW, the rest of the world is NOT like America is many ways...for instance, most other countries believe in providing affordable health care for all of its citizens..its ingrained in their sociopolitical thinking, while WE are arguing and promoting this idea as "socialism." Other Western nations dont have a fraction of the murder rates we have, have greater life expectancies, lower rates of teenage pregnancy....we're the same in some ways, but where it counts, we ARE different.
My observations are that in our society, often the perverted minds are the ones who make the rules, mores, and cultural ideas that the rest of us are forced to live by (I don't mean "perverted" merely in the sexual sense).
The people who tell us that "there nothing wrong with the death penalty", "abortion is a woman's right", "that greed is good," "there are measurable differences between the races/ethnic groups," "that THIS religion is better than THAT religion," "if it feels good, do it," etc. are the ones whose wills are imposed on the masses. Its the Big Lie that Hitler and others articulated...tell a big enough lie often enough and it will eventually become the truth; you repeat an idea often enough, it become so ingrained that those who question it will seem "weird," "repressed," "issue-ridden," etc. I would much rather prefer to be "sexually-repressed" than intellectually repressed and not open to different ways of thinking.
