I am fascinated by how people behave and what drives them to
behave in certain ways. I like reading and watching series and documentaries
based on past events and era’s, for example it is interesting watching series
like Spartacus which are sexually explicit and extremely violent, depicting
Rome at the height of its power. It is evident that ancient people were very
open about sexuality, and nudity was something people were not ashamed of.
Somewhere in between then and now someone had this brilliant
idea that nudity was not acceptable and that people should be self conscious
and covered up and it worked. Maybe it was because of religion and its rise to
power throughout the world, it turned acts of sexuality into sins and people
who went against it would be named and shamed.
Ancient statues showing nudity and even paintings depicting sexual acts
where common in the past and would even be put in public places, but the world
has changed now, people have changed their way of thinking but have they
really?
This takes me to the real topic at hand, with the rise of
social media it seems like people are going back to their ancient ways
following the footsteps of their ancestors. When you think about it how many
times have you seen people posting inappropriate pictures on Facebook without
shame, girls clad in scanty outfits posing in questionable poses? How many
people have Tumblr blogs that are about sex and how many more people have
tumblr blogs made for the sole purpose of exposing themselves to the public?
Some are not ashamed and even show their faces, some still afraid that someone
they know will find out so they hide their identity.
Most of these people mostly girls also chat on webcams with
fans and those who are smart enough make a living from exposing themselves.
They start personal blogs which are monetised or they start membership sites
where you have to join to see their explicit content. The less technically
gifted girls earn most of their money using donations from their fans and
getting gifts from fans.
It is not only Facebook and Tumblr but Twitter is also sort
of like a porn site, with things like titty Tuesday, wet Wednesday, twitter after dark, ass Wednesday, thong
Thursday, thongless Thursday and many more twitter hash tags used to encourage
nudity and sexuality.
Social networks give otherwise normal people a chance to get
attention, be it sexual or what-ever else, it give couple and other likeminded
couples a chance to find each other and explore their fantasies. You would
think that the world is a conservative place but it really is not, many people
are more wild then you would imagine, you never know that conservative next
door neighbour of yours might be one of those people with one of these
adventurous accounts posting anonymous pictures with their face covered up,
some even revealing their face which is even more risky.
Even people is respectable jobs
are into this exposure, I once watched an episode (I don’t remember if it was
Oprah or another daytime show) where this teacher was fired from her teaching
job because she had nude pictures online. Even though she was not inappropriate
with the kids, I think many parents felt uncomfortable with her teaching their
kids.
I do not know whether it’s the
celebrities who have encouraged nudity and sexuality in the past few years with
things like sex tapes and deliberate public nudity but this kind of behaviour
is on the rise on social networks and everyone is doing it I mean from
teenagers to old married couples. I am not against it in fact I feel that it
provides and alternative for the over photo-shopped images you find on pro porn
sites, the amateurs are doing it themselves now.
