What is with people who are obsessed with others sex lives?

[devilgrrl]

Ewwwwwww! Gawd! I get nervous when I have to get naked to shower - why the f*** would I care about what someone else does while naked?

Seriously, one must have a rather filthy mind to constantly harp about sex, homosexuals, sex with dogs, pornography, sex with box turtles, ex-gays, etc.

For christ's sake, why aren't people this obsessed about the environment?

Fuckin' incredible! :mad:

[ret5hd]

1. what about sex with yaks?

[raccoon]

2. Or why aren't they obsessed about the banana republic-type

junta that controls the US now?

[BlueEyedSon]

3. 'cause they're freakin' MORANS?

[KingFlorez]

4. They are perverted

And want to make people think that the government can actually do something to stop these things.

[acmejack]

5. Cause they don't have one of their own!

So they are very interested in everyone else's. Maybe we just need to get them all laid...

[durablend]

8. Correction!

They're not getting any and they want to make sure nobody else gets any either!

[BiggJawn]

32. Works for me.

Any volunteers?
:evilgrin:

[slackmaster]

6. You mean like the "Is Condi Rice a lesbian?" threads?

It doesn't make any sense to me either.

[billbuckhead]

16. Actually a "is Connie Rice a lesbian" has more to do

with hypocrisy than sexual voyeurism.

[slackmaster]

30. On this we agree

It is indeed hypocritical to go through the motions of "outing" one person and not another simply because of a political disagreement.

[billbuckhead]

48. I think Republican gays should be outed

You can't be in public life without your life being public.

[slackmaster]

49. Sorry, I must have misunderstood your previous post

Quick question yes or no: Should Democratic gays be outed as well?

[billbuckhead]

57. Only extreme DINO's like Zell Miller

O8) In this post 9-11 world. if we the people are paying for security for thse politicians, we should know who they're sleeping with.

[devilgrrl]

18. Perhaps they're posted by disruptors???

Ever think of that?

[slackmaster]

29. Yes, the thought has crossed my mind

If we really don't care about peoples' sexuality then we should behave the same in regard to any individual's sexuality. To do otherwise is hypocritical.

[all.of.me]

7. because they are not environmentally repressed

our culture is so sick. other cultures do not look upon sex as sick the way we do. we are very prudish/repressed compared to many other parts of the world.

[Fleshdancer]

9. This bugs me to no end

I can understand not wanting to engage in certain acts but if everyone involved is an adult and the acts are consentual, why try to keep others from doing what they want to do?

These people that we're talking about have no respect for privacy or choice.

[Arbiter]

10. I don't know...

but it really annoys me.

Why can't they mind their own f***ing business???

[BobbyinPortland]

14. two words, THE BIBLE!

They think they've got Gawd's blessing to condemn anyone and anything they don't like or see as a "sin". FUCK THEM!

[newyawker99]

45. Hi Arbiter!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[PurityOfEssence]

11. Lenny Bruce called someone...

..."a card-carrying member of the great legion of the unlaid."

This country is so repressed and flipped-out over sex that it's just amazing. It's a wonder that anyone gets his/her act together on the subject when one considers the culture.

[Atman]

12. Was you "eeew" comment supposed to be a statement?

Or the words of one of the whackos? Because anyone who feels nervous just getting naked to bathe has some serious issues. Your body is an amazing thing, and you should celebrate its wonderous complexity. You're not "special." You're the same as about 6.5 billion others. Who/what are you hiding from? Be naked as often a possible, whenever, whereever possible. Sometimes where it's NOT possible. And don't equate "naked" with "sex." Some of the best sex I've ever had was almost fully clothed.

So, if you want to be obsesed, I agree, be obsessed with the environment. And go dance naked on a beach, in the woods, or on a mountain top.

[devilgrrl]

20. Yes, I have issues with my body...

not that that is any of your business. Having said that, I couldn't care less about other people's sex lives and that is the issue at hand here.

[Atman]

39. "not that that is any of your business."

Oh, sorry. YOU mentioned it, which I supposed you shouldn't have done if it wasn't anybody's business. 'Kay?

I was actually just trying to be supportive, nothing more. Lots of people have body issues. And I feel badly for them. Your body is beautiful. I don't mean to be corny about it. I guess it's the artist in me. I think the human body is just a stunning work of art and engineering. Beauty at its purest, most natural level.

Yours included.

And btw, don't you see just a little bit of irony in your remark about how much you don't care about other's sex lives, therefore THAT is what we should be talking about?

:hug:

[devilgrrl]

55. shut up!

:P :silly: :P

[bonito]

13. Pea brains, I pay them no mind, ignore them. n/t

[OldLeftieLawyer]

15. I'm obsessed about the environment

It's a great place to have sex.

[Bethany Rockafella]

17. Why do you get nervous when you get naked to shower?

That's weird.

[devilgrrl]

21. I have cellulite

:shrug:

[Bethany Rockafella]

26. Well that's no big deal.

I felt the same way at first. Now I don't care. Shit happens. :-)

[Ksec]

19. Repressed and frustrated

Simple as that.

Rethugs are the perverts of society

[devilgrrl]

22. repressed or racked with guilt?

Personally, I think a lot of the sexual police practice the acts they claim to abhor.

[Ksec]

25. The act itself isnt wrong

But claiming to have a higher moral ground than others while practicing these acts while condemning them at the same time.

My problem isnt the act but the hypocricy of those who practice and villify their acts.

[devilgrrl]

35. The act of having sex with children and animals isn't right.

Not to dispute what you said or anything.

[Ih8dashrub]

37. no act is wrong

you asked why the f*** would I care about what someone else does while naked?

if you want harp about sex, homosexuals sex, with dogs, pornography, sex with box turtles, ex-gays, or anybody regardless of some made-up standard of age cuz were all sexual creatures then youre against some very liberally minded good democrats

there is no such thing as an immoral act that is just the repressive dead white european males imposing their values on us

quadrasexuals are people too and we vote

[tx_dem41]

40. You need lots of polishing...

consider this constructive criticism. :eyes:

[Catherine Vincent]

47. Wow.

Welcome to DU.....I think.

[Meeker Morgan]

23. Well I do like show-biz gossip ...

... but I admit it's not a particularly admirable characteristic.

[Jade Fox]

24. Thousands of years of demonizing sexuality....

has made a lot of people plain nuts around it here in the West (as well as
other places, of course).

Also, sexuality is not very controlable. That drive control freaks crazy.

[Initech]

27. It's easy - Bible thumpers hate sex.

There's simply no other explanation I can come up with!

These people are so disgusted by the mere act of it that they have to condemning others who practice it!

To use a great Bill Maher quote - "Parents these days are so concerned about protection that it's no wonder that they even had sex in the first place!".

[julialnyc]

28. because they are obsessed with power

power gets them off and their is nothing more powerful than trying to control the most private thing we do.

[cynatnite]

31. Sex is for propegation and nothing more...

It's that simple and how the RW sees it. gawd tells them who can have sex and who can't. If you're married you can have sex. If not, you can't.

[Atman]

56. Sex is for PLEASURE, nothing more.

Pure and simple. The "thumpers" keep trying to tell us that sex is only for procreation, but it doesn't take a Ph.D. to figure this one out. All you have to do is look out on your front lawn, to the two dogs humping. Does anyone honestly think for one split second that the dog on top is thinking "I gotta make me some puppies!" That's nonsense! That dog is thinking one thing and one thing only..."Feels good!" And that is nature's/God's plan!

Think about it...the only thing that draws otherwise sane mammals to such an awkward, messy, silly act is the pleasure. The only way to get species to propagate is to offer incentive. Especially when you realizet that except for man, supposedly every other species lacks insight and self-awareness. So how the hell is a dog, or muskrat, or wolverine or any other mammal supposed to know it's supposed to do the nasty if it doesn't even have the mental capacity to know it exists? It doesn't. It is drawn to THE DEED, not the outcome of the deed.

Think about it...if sticking your dick in that thang felt like a meat grinder, why would anyone or anything ever get down? If an animal has no consciousness of it's own existence, is sure as hell isn't worried about offspring. It's drawn to the sensation. On another level, it's why we masturbate. Come on now...you're not strokin' it just to keep in practice for when you want to make babies. Nature made it feel good. That's all there is too it. If nature/god didn't want us to have sex except for procreation, every male would be a pre-mature ejaculator. We'd only want to do it at the same time the female was ovulating.

Think about it.

But not too much. You'll go blind.

[Marr]

33. I'll tell you why.

Many of them are struggling with their own sexuality. I don't necessarily mean latent homosexuality, either- often just plain old latent *sexuality*. They've been trained for years that sex is dirty, but they're human beings and they have natural sexual urges.

Basically, they externalize their own personal "demons", refusing to acknowledge that these are facets of their own personality.

They do it with lots of other things, of course- like alcoholism or drug addiction, but it's particularly unhealthy and tragic when it comes to sexual repression, because they've demonized their own very natural, very human urges.

[mongo]

34. I think it is mostly people's personal experiance

being projected onto society.

a good portion of the anti-porn crowd here at DU has been hurt by men or abused in some way. They turn there anger outward at society and porn becomes an easy target.

And then again, others are just trolls that rack up a lot of posts agreeing with the authoritarian left.

[devilgrrl]

36. "authoritarian left"... explain that please.

What are you saying?

[mongo]

41. My prime example of the authoritarian left

is Andrea Dworkin, who worked to pass legislation banning pornography as a "civil rights" violation against women (and teamed up with the religious right to do so).

She managed to get a couple of local laws passed that were overturned.

It is the act of replacing your set of oppressive viewpoints for another.

[devilgrrl]

43. Got it. Thanks. :-)

:eom:

[cassiepriam]

38. Again, called projection. They have something wrong in that dept.

[devilgrrl]

42. Yep.

Isn't it creepy? :scared:

[cassiepriam]

44. all their angst about Clinton's sex life, you know what theirs was like.

[mtnester]

46. I think the word everyone is looking for is "vicarious"

Si or no?

[Hotep]

50. They're not getting enough p...y or d..k themselves.

[Hotep]

51. Shit if all Republican gays were exposed,

that would be half of Washington! Gannon/Gucket was fucking/sucking a lot of people there.

[mn723]

52. People who are obsessed

with other people's sex lives obviously aren't getting any in their own sex lives.

[ncteechur]

53. I don't know. I have a cousin who voted for Bush because

"he is against gays."

She is not married, and not dating a man or a woman. She doesn't have sex and I don't think she never has. Why the fuck does it matter to her? I don't know. These are some backasswards people.

[La Coliniere]

54. As the late great Muddy Waters says

"They can't get no grinding"
