I don't mean to come off as self-righteous. I live my life, you live yours. I just had to add that the "I would fuck sarah palin" idea is gross and stupid to me. I have no aversion to sex, but I do to objectification and self-demeaning actions. It is hard to have one without the other these days...
The sacredness of sex has to do with both it's importance and it's personal value. It is important to have sex, I can assure that our parents did so. Making new people is important, and very vlauable. Also the act itself is very personal and should be treated as special. You are literally sharing yourself, your phsical self, with another person. Very profound.
The objective value of profane in modern sex is also apparent. Anything that is the distorting of something sacred to make it the opposite of sacred is profane. So sex should be about sharing, and value in huamn interactions, but it is not nowadays. Sex is about hedonism, about feeling good. It makes it into a one person paradigm, you're there to 'feel good; and she is there to 'feel good', but in many ways you are not working together to meet those ends. Sex with people of the same gender, sex as a lifestyle, sex as a weapon, sex as a tool to get things you want... All profanity of the sacredness that is (or should be) sex.
Or were you guys asking about it more removed?
Sacred means holding the highest value, it means something that is bigger than ourselves. Scared is the rules and structures that made us who we are today (like the water cycle, not like hospitals).
Profane means the illusion of sacredness, but the opposite of sacred. It means making something have the lowest value, and it means ignoring the things that are bigger than ourselves.
That's very subjective and simple, but it is what I have. Objectivity of descriptor words is kinda a misnomer anyways.
