Sex and good morning
Why is a good morning a routine ritual and sex is not? Why does it cost more?
Why is good morning a simple everyday wave, while sex, for many, carries such a disproportionate weight? The answer, woven through centuries of patriarchy, takes a heavy toll on women.
In a society still marked by strong traits of machismo, women are mistakenly seen as a pure, almost celestial entity, who should only indulge in sexual acts with the aim of fulfilling their oldest and most primordial function: procreation. This thinking not only restricts women’s sexual freedom, but also perpetuates a series of injustices and inequalities.
Let’s look at the cycle of unhappiness in which many heteronormative relationships are trapped. Commonly, you see men who fall in love with a woman not because of who she is, but because of the curves of her body. Driven by the fear of losing this “possession”, they end up imprisoning her in a domestic role, limiting her clothing and erasing her personal shine. The man, no longer stimulated by what he himself transformed into a “domestic chore”, then seeks a new partner who has not yet been stripped of her vivacity.
But what is the value of something that is intrinsically ephemeral? This new woman, too, will soon go through the same process of emptying and exchanging. It’s a vicious circle that reflects a lack of maturity and understanding about the healthy dynamics of a relationship.
Women, understand that your sexuality is not a bargaining chip, nor synonymous with perdition. It is, rather, a source of power and self-definition. Reject any man who does not respect your integrity and freedom. If Darwin spoke about survival of the fittest, then, ladies, do not allow immature and disrespectful men to perpetuate his legacies.
Beware, men of yesterday and today, with the destructive cycles they create. It is essential to rediscover and respect women as an integral being, not a replaceable object.
Life, in fact, is complex. But sex, when shared with respect and equality, should be a celebration of human connection, not just a transaction framed by moral archaisms. Let us think together about how to break these cycles, creating relationships that are based on mutual empowerment and deep respect.
