JUNK SEX VS LOVING SEX – SEXUAL FREEDOM

He shakes his head and looks at me with his handsome brown eyes. His voice has a slight whine in it, but his eyes have a mischievous glint, and I can see he is not really that perturbed. It is as though he is saying, “Yes, it was a bit strange, and I got teased—but wasn’t it exciting?” “What do you think, Doc?” He raises and lowers his eyebrows three times. “Is that weird, or what?”

Today people enjoy a sexual freedom that perhaps no other society has ever enjoyed: There are scarcely any rules, as long as the sex is between consenting adults. However, while having too many rules may be stifling, no rules can be baffling. What would have been seen as perverse and indulgent in the past is now viewed as diverse and creative. What was viewed with forbidden joy is now seen with trepidation, something infested with the ever-present specter of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. What was once naive and sentimental is now often complex and clinical, surrounded by anxieties pertaining to harassment or rape. In the Hamptons, on college campuses, in marital beds, and in any other place where lovers meet, there is often an atmosphere of distrust between the genders.
