Violence is still considered ok in games, last time I checked.

Which is possibly because violence is not as awkward to watch with your family as sex is.



Violence has no religious morality baggage - religions were extremely violent. Sex, however, has all the baggage from all the angles. Even if we aren't religious, it doesn't matter, religion still dictates huge chunks of our lives and our mindsets. It has thousands of years of inertia.


Abrahamic religion is prudish about sex none of the pagan or Buddhism is prudish.


Buddhism literally teaches celibacy. Mostly for monks but if you get serious about your practice the advice is always to become celibate in order to make progress. It makes sense as you're trying to remove your desires.


Buddhism teaches moderation in what you do, of course you can interpret it as removal of desire If you let said desire be above you.


i think peoppe would probably have much better sex in general if it wasnt so taboo, and so people could get outside feedback on how theyre doing


I could do without Jeff from accounting showing off his latest proud performance with the wife to the coworkers like it's his golf swing.


Something tells me Jeff from accounting can still freely show photos of him "hunting" with some dead wild animals and few will consider it gross.
