had an interesting talk about sexual deviancy today, somebodies mind got blow away when we discussed the amount of sexual fantasies people have on body parts or what comes out of our bodies, some very disgusting, some wildly idiotic, some acceptable, some understandable and some just plain sick.
so now how did we come up with these categories, a much better question would be would these categories be different if the same conversation came up within another crowd of people? yes would be the answer wouldnt it? some people accept these fetishes or taboos as a part of their lives, or something they cant live without or more importantly something they can 'understand' and should be 'tolerant' to.
So i wonder when will humanity draw the line? i`m not talking in a religious perspective or even a moral one, but there was a time when (i have been told) that being gay was considered a disorder of the mind and still there are many a communities that shun the relationships between man and man, woman and woman but if we look around, we can see this changing.
'Tolerance' or 'acceptance' is a word much used especially in Maldives these days, but if you look at the world at a whole this concept of accepting others for who they are has been spreading, quickly and efficiently. A concept not bad, because who are we kidding, as a collective group (humanity) we are a bunch of freaks.
But more to my point, when will society draw the line? We can now accept others who are gay without a problem, and i`m sure in the near future we will also be accepting transsexuals as a part of community, taking out the taboo and replacing it with 'normalcy' whatever that might be. but would it stop there? taking into account human history, i certainly dont think so.
There will come a time, not in our lifetimes hopefully that society descends into such a state of acceptance that what we now consider taboo to take an example incest, to be a part of life. If there are people who had the 'need' to do it, and because its 'how they were born' society will come to accept it or as it happens now some part of society will guilt the other to accept it, understand it. .. 'live and let live'..
