Sexcapades: our brains, no good

Sex, sex, sex. America is obsessed and simultaneously repulsed by sex. Call us the "Land of the Repressed." We have token holier-than-thou persons on every network, shaking his or her head and wondering "What was 'he' (insert scandal-of-the-month guy here) thinking?"

I'll tell ya what he was thinking: how to satisfy his desires. What the hell else do you think he was thinking? Do we really think men (and women) don't think about sex---a lot? Come on. I hate this puritannical notion that somehow we turn off the innate human drive once we hit a certain age or a certain situation in life. We can be so naive in this country. My European friends laugh their asses off at America's hypocrisy and immaturity.

I heard a woman talking about the latest sex scandal say "His brain, no good." While that is funny and succinct, it is not true. His brain is just the same as most other guys' brains: craving sex. Does that mean all of our brains, "no good"?

Oh, what's that you say? Human beings are supposed to be able to rise above the animalistic desire to satisfy their cravings? Right. And that's why these "scandals" are so rare. That's why our population is booming. That's why our divorce rate is so high. That's why we all have just one sex partner our entire lives.

But, but, but...we're not animals, we're human beings. Right. Bow down to the perfectly controlled, higher-evolved human, the perfection of "God's" creation. (Air sickness bags are located right above your seat...)

Then you have conservatives saying that just thinking about sex outside of marriage is the same as cheating. Wow! Better lock us all up then.

Our brains, no good.
