needs sexual healing OR: Butt naked fun is screwing up too many lives |
Woebeit, there's nothing like the real thing, I still couldn't help think about the Sports Illustrated feature: "This Week's Sign of the Apocalypse," when I read that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down a federal law banning virtual child pornography, under the guise of protecting the Constitution's free speech, "Which covers images of young people engaging in sex, so long as real children aren't harmed." Hey, it's time to cue the Twilight Zone theme and the music ain't for me this time. Quite frankly, that ruling from the highest court in the land is scary, if not downright chilling. How in the hell can the same old coots (considered to have superior judgment on matters germane to the course of human events, who ruled that the mere sight of Joe Camel--a cartoon on a deck of smokes-- is a menace to society), conclude that virtual pubescent sex orgies don't pose a real and present danger to the land of the free's malleable-minded progeny? Virtual reality pornography? How lucky can the 21st century's kids get? My generation had to make do with crudely drawn little booklets (depicting a spaced out on spinach Popeye humping poor little Olive Oyl with wild and lascivious abandonment) that always had pages missing. Inasmuch as I'm asexual like most cold-blooded warriors, who consider passion a weakness and enforced celibacy a test of manhood, perhaps I shouldn't even attempt to discuss a touchy subject like sex. On the other hand, if I don't, who will? Square business, who's willing to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about promiscuous sex? And the whole truth about promiscuous sex is that neither love or even lust, has nothing to do with it. Butt naked fun is screwing up so many lives in 2002 America until it has become a national threat. My people are being destroyed for lack of knowledge, because they must learn that lustful sex is not an uncontrollable, connate human instinct and sure as hell can't qualify as an addiction that's triggered by a chemical imbalance. Nor can sex be classified as spiritual weakness, no matter what defense men of God use. Illicit sex plain and simple is a predatorial and aggressive manifestation of the evil that lurks in humankind's sin-sick hearts. And I'll say this straight up… without fear of contradiction: any logical, civilized person, who succumbs to an overwhelming urge to ravish another person is basically a selfish, ego-centered, animalistic, evil human being that has no conscience whatsoever. What I'm saying is, Homo Sapiens's innate sex drive has absolutely nothing to do with seducing innocent young people, raping and ravishing weaker human beings like wanton beasts, or even buying a potential dose of AIDS from a prostitute. First, mayhaps, I should qualify the fact that I've never, ever become so hot to trot until I've lost total control in a close encounter of the sexual kind. Naturally, one is as likely to believe that claim, the same as people believe that I have the self-discipline to cold turkey cease indulging in the most addictive behavior known to mankind forthwith. Crack cocaine? Twelve step programs notwithstanding, I feel sorry for the pitiful wretches who delude themselves to believe that some mind-altering drug can overwhelm God's gift of free will, but let's not even go there. In fact, I'll spot you the sex drive theory, as presented in Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan's 1992 best seller Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors: "Passions for life and sex are built into us, hardwired, pre-programmed." "Between them, they go a long way toward arranging for many offspring with slightly differing genetic characteristics, the essential first step for natural selection to do its work. So we are the mostly unconscious tools of natural selection, indeed willing instruments. As deeply as we can go in assessing our own feelings, we do not recognize any underlying purpose. All that is added later. All the social and political and theological justifications are attempts to rationalize, after the fact, human feelings that are at the same time utterly obvious and profoundly mysterious. Now imagine us with no interest at all in 'explaining' such matters, no weakness for reason and contemplation." "Suppose you unquestioningly accepted these predispositions for surviving and reproducing, and spent your time solely in fulfilling them. Might that be something like the state of mind of most beings? Every one of us can recognize these two modes coexisting within us. A moment of introspection is often all it takes. Religious writers have described them as our animal and spiritual states." In essence, if we stopped lying and denying our connate animalistic nature we would be taking the first step toward sexual healing. And I don't mean the same kind of sexual healing that Marvin Gaye wrote and song about in his 1983 hit record. No! Human beings' ability to think and reason, ideally exempts them from animal behavior. People who say they aren't attracted to family members are denying their natural instincts. When you hear men say, "I think of her like a daughter, or even a little sister," they're straight out lying. Civilized people simply don't act on their instincts or feelings because they consider the consequences, over their desire. As for me, I have no problem telling my African warrior princesses (surrogate daughters), that they're so fine until they should be barred from funerals, insofar as their sexuality could make a dead man rise. Then again, my love for those fine, young devils makes me their protector. Their boyfriends and husbands must pass my muster and dare not touch one without permission. And that's why I'm coming down so hard on people of authority who sexually abuse or misuse our young flowers. Hey, I know the flesh is weak, ergo, one can easily lose control and give in to a moment of extreme passion, but that's not what's bothers me. What bothers me is that priests, preachers, teachers, parents, mentors, siblings, or even presidents can habitually give into their connate instincts and continue to conduct business as usual. Are your praying with me brothers and sisters? I'm talking a preacher who is screwing up his life, by screwing members' teenage daughters, but is able to stand up in a pulpit and preach to their unsuspecting parents about an all-seeing God every Sunday. Need I even go into how priests can continue to listen to others' confessions and not confess their own sins? As carnal-minded as I purport myself to be, there's no way I could live with myself after violating my friends' and family's trust. On the other hand, people who claim to be better than me, supposedly have a conscience. Thus, when they need sexual healing they sho' nuff should seek help. Otherwise they should see an evil scumbag when they look in the mirror. I wonder if anybody knows where I'm coming from? Call 281/847-9929 to reach Johnson or e-mail him at: africanwarrior@aol.com |
