Sex is not an urge. The urge belongs to other factors. Such as: greed, power, addiction, but most of all social ignorance. Even desire is over vilified. We only have ourselves to blame. For we allow such institutions as religion, government, and other social influences to direct our morals. I have said it many times, 'these institutions are corrupted by the arrogance of self-divinity'. Why would we allow such things to override our basic nature - our Free Will? Why would we still fall amongst the wind swept ideal of morality, when it is all too obvious that morality is anti-nature?
Some say that sex is undignified. Either, speaking openly of it, or one’s admittance they participate in the act. To some, sex should be an emotional wasteland. You do it only to reproduce. We are to be like chickens stuffed in a coup, laying eggs, nothing more. Then there are those whom say sex is dangerous for health reasons. It is wrong, perhaps an act of violation for the female of our species. Said to be unclean, and produce unpredictable offspring. So it should be stopped, "let science breed the perfect being." Sounds a bit 'Mein Kampf' to me.
So, what of dignity? What is dignity? Dignity, as defined by society, is bilge. True dignity is "self esteem," and "pride." Dignity is a state of mind, which will not allow oneself to falter below set principles and virtues - two ideals, which are distinctive from morality. For, morality can change at the drop of a hat. Principle never alters course.
