The World Needs More Pleasure
by D.K.
We have evolved in so many ways, yet; there is one area that most of society can’t seem to grasp. And that is the importance of making pleasure a vital part of our lives.
In so many ways we still have the same puritanical beliefs that were prevalent in the 17th century. And the big question is why?
We have evolved tremendously and that evolution has made our lives better. We have running water, electricity and are able to connect to people around the world in milliseconds.
Yet, when it comes to pleasure, we are still living in the dark ages. We continue to be told that anything that feels good is bad for you.
The moralists and religious righteous keep trying to tell us that sex outside of marriage is wrong. They say that watching porn — even though everyone in the scene you are watching has consented to performing — is sinful and is responsible for the downfall of society.
What is bringing down society is the anger that exists, the guilt and the shame that is felt by people as they live in conflict with their true desires for pleasure and feeling good.
