Over at Salon, the apparent temple of all things sex-worship, Tracy Clark-Flory chronicles “The Year In Sex Writing,” explaining in part:
I read about sex, constantly. At least five days a week, I do a Google News search for “sex.” It’s one of the first things I do each morning. …As I look back at the year in sex writing, these are the pieces that stand out, the pieces that most validated that daily sex-news slog. (I’m excluding myself and Salon in general from the list, because to do otherwise would be lame, wouldn’t it?)
...
A growing number of pop culture outlets possess an evangelistic zeal for the act of sex. Whether it is through ever-more visible bodies on network television or full-fledged sexually oriented nudity on premium cable, shows like Californication and Masters of Sex now compete with basic cable’s Sex Sent Me to the E.R., Strange Sex and Let’s Talk About Sex. Sex was so prevalent this year that Slate declared 2014 to be a “banner year for sex on television.”
We don’t just watch sex, we socialize over it via Facebook and Instagram. Teens don’t text, they “sext.” Normalization transitions into advocacy as activists campaign for “sex positive” attitudes that promote an acceptance of pornography, bondage, sadomasochism, and a whole host of sexual behaviors that prove to be physically and emotionally destructive to individuals and families. Women, who are most often the subject of naked sexualized depictions, have transitioned from holy mother figures to goddess whores enslaved on an altar our culture created to worship the act of sex.
