You log into Snap Chat and see featured stories and ads with women in skimpy clothing. You load up Instagram and YouTube and are prompted by similarly lewd content on a daily basis (let alone what you can discover if you use the search function!) Movies, books, TV shows, and advertisements disproportionately center on sex and its appeal (sex sells..) The availability and embellishment of pornography is temptation in its own right. On top of that, the culture tells people that it is natural, normal, and healthy to watch porn, even when experience and observation suggest otherwise. . .In a hyper-sexualized culture, people try to get you to think about sex all day long, often for financial gain and at the expense of other important areas of life, like family, friends, work, education, and purpose. . .
We take it for granted, but cultures around the world haven’t always enlarged the sexual area to grandiose, larger-than-life, almost cartoonish proportions.. . If people [in non-hyper-sexualized cultures] want to be perverts behind closed doors, most of them at least have the decency to act respectable in public. I imagine this is what many cultures were like throughout history. I observed, and other people I’ve talked to who travel to these areas have also observed, that their minds think fewer sexual thoughts when in this kind of environment.
