Sexuality in Indian society is practiced in a unique way. It is being evident, as this age-old culture has given to the world called Kamasutra. Yet modern society suffers from violence occurring out of sexuality. Despite the culture has a deep understanding of sexuality, yet modern times bring disruptions to emotional stability. So an attempt has been made to compare the western and Indian societal peer pressures of getting involved in sexual activity for reproduction.
Scientifically speaking, it is for every human to understand their basic characters of living. They are our body, emotions, minds, and energy. The caste structure has brought many rituals to conduct such physical being in an emotionally stable way. During traditional days, the kids are emotionally attached to another gender at a much early age. So by the time they attain puberty neither they get involved in finding their partners nor get enrolled in some random wedding websites.
They tend to carry out responsibilities by doing agriculture or other business. Being in a colonial past for two centuries, such practices have been labeled as child marriage and eliminated from the societal practices. While one can debate the validity of such practices, it was helping to cope up with sexual frustration, which is common among a large number of youths these days.
While staying in Chennai, one of my roommates caught redhanded by watching porn. Other fellow roommates were making fun of him. Being caught at the moment he could not able to respond to the situation. But I know every one making fun of him were also watching such stuff. It is no wonder that 70% of internet dumped with sexual content.
The stories about Indian society talks about great yogis who could able to transform semen into various other possibilities by using a tool called yoga. But expecting everyone to become a yogi is a fool’s pursuit. Let us all accept our body needs basic nourishment for its survival. When such a basic necessity’s of the human body are met, this physical being could be put into social utility for mankind.
Living in a digital era of experiencing the comfort of ordering food by staying in the home, such peer pressures among the young ones needed a guided approach. It is in the very nature of the healthy society that such issues tend to crop up. But it’s in the hands of humane people, to get educated and acts sensitively as the issue of sexual penetration penetrates across every individual.
So, little insight into anatomical understanding clears the doubts of sexual stimulation. The clitoris present in women was the starting point of sensual pleasures. It largely remains invisible compared to the most visible part of men who are involved in the intercourse centered around vaginal penetration. Unable to understand this patriarchial mindset compels both sex to involve in vaginal penetration. It eventually puts pressure on women to face the stigma of reproduction. American psychological society’s study finds out many of the women were faking the fulfillment of sexual activity. This fundamental conflict creates unhealthy relations resulting in piling of divorce papers by getting involved in an uncommitted relationship.
Once when I was attending Animal Biotechnology class, I came across a term called Artificial Insemination. It intrigues me as I was practically collecting a sample of cow’s semen to analyze its motility factor and determine the course of fertility rate. While reading about it, I found how science has helped to break such a rigid caste structure.
In that technique, it is preferred to breed two unique varieties of animals. But in the old age practice, it is preferred to be mated within their own caste groups. Modern science proves mating among their own groups called inbreeding reduces fertility. Thereby, science proves the societal practices were wrong giving rise to set a definitive norm of attaining a certain age to operate independently. So we found most of the liberal democracies has voting rights for both men and women.
Indian conditions present different social challenges. In Indian societies where there is large migration from rural to urban faces cultural shock. The modern prevalence in urban set up to rural youths tends to easily adapt to the culture. While the problem arises when they are transffering lives with least consciousness of adopting urban culture. This turns out to be a fundamental cause for the inability to handle the open culture of urban areas and later gets manifested in violent forms. Some time ago, the media was filled with sex and violence stories, as if this was a new story to be dealt with.
Biologically speaking, there are only two castes in this world called man and women. All the progress of science and technology has been centered around them for the welfare and development of them. With least concern to such social fact, the stigma of reproduction and sex as a means to achieve them still prevails even in so-called developed nations of modern society.
The intercourse between two genders proves scientifically helpful as it releases various kinds of hormones in an individuals body. It has been an age-old story of how that was being romanticized in various cultures through mediums like movies. While the reality of sex education, for many, has been informed only through this medium, it often tends to be portrayed without knowing the entire sexual phenomena.
We are living in such societal conditions where Sex is not just biological – societal and gender dynamics are at play here
Experience of sexuality: is influenced by social factors:
- Hook-up culture
- Anatomical misunderstanding
- Gender Roles
- Power dynamics
Everyone reading the article can note the contradictory factor of sexual difference at play between India and Western societies. While the modernity demands a scientific explanation to cope up with such a situation it’s better to be consciously aware of one needs. That’s where education plays significance to act in a civilized manner.
When there is a healthier relationship with no hesitation to talk about sex to one’s own partner, it becomes a means to strengthen the relationship. So those involved have to consider sex beyond just reproduction. It’s time to break societal taboos and thereby considering it just as a form of pleasure. Those are easier said than done as it involves changing an individual’s mindset. Without an open mind, such issues keep piling in every police station. On the contrary, in this digital world, people are easy to communicate to search engines than to humans. So the reality of falling to prey to internet is wide than pursuing ideal moment of bridging sex difference.
Despite being a biology student the initial encounter of sex was unbearable. Initially, it poses me to rang up to my friends, as if I require third-party counseling. But after undergoing the process of emotional turmoil myself, it came to be understood that being emotional is often counterproductive to achieve the purpose of fulfillment of sex. It’s always better to communicate well to the concerned parties, in this case, it obviously is your partner. By trying to maintain a healthier relation without blowing the trumpet off is an art in itself. That may be the reason this behavior has become institutionalized as marriage.
