In a culture where the necessity of sex for women is not acknowledged as it is for men—if not to a greater extent— we find ourselves.
Women are idealized by conservatives, placed on a romantic pedestal where they are seen as pure and devoid of sexuality. Conversely, feminists assert that women should not rely on men for anything.
“My friend expressed, ‘Women are made to feel guilty for needing men. Society depicts us as weak, co-dependent, or lacking self-esteem.'”
From television, the same message has reached my friend’s teenage son, who remarked, “Women don’t need sex. They’re just doing men a favor.”
The distinction between sex and love has become tragically blurred. In eras when religion dominated, they were intertwined… for instance, within the confines of marriage.
However, in the present, “sexual liberation” has severed that bond, placing sex in the vacuum left by love. Countless men and women mimic the behaviors of addicts, utilizing sex in a futile attempt to satisfy an intense longing for love— a need that only love can fulfill.
