Pack yer bags -- we're going on a guilt trip...

As the Voodoochild knows, my exposure to caucasian-american sexuality can be summed up by the PORKY's movies and any of the GIRLS GONE WILD dvds. Suffice it to say, my scope of the all-american sexual rites of passage, not including humping an apple pie, is pretty narrow. I'm pretty sure that the speedy casual sex thing is not exclusive to white americans, I think its just way more common. It's not necessarily a bad thing so much as it is different. Americans in general, value their freedomand are very individualistic people. (Warning: crackpot theory ahead) They don't harbor as much residual guilt over casual sex bceause their individualistic nature allows them to be free of the social stigma that we often associate with it. Our asian culture attaches different social restraints to sex and our loyalty to family desires over our own individual desires further complicates things. I guess it seems that caucasian-americans can engage and disengage from intimacy way faster than we can or would even like. Even though some of us have rushed too fast into sex by our own standards I doubt that we could do it regularly without being guilt-ridden.
Where does right and wrong play into the quick hook-up? I don't know. But --what I DO know is that mom dukes and dear old pops (God rest his soul) didn't raise this boy to be about that bizness. It don't take much to realize that hookin' up too fast and too often cheapens the value of true intimacy and leads to more heartache than happiness. I'm not gonna front and say there's not an exhilirating thrill to it all because there is. But I should hope that there's more to sex than just a quick thrill. Me and my folks don't see eye to eye on many things, but I'll have to stick with them on this one.
