There are two things in this world. Objects and sujects. Ends and means. Humans are ends but never means. Sex is a mean, but never an end. If you are the object and sex is the subject, you have gotten all horse-before-cart. I am trying to live the best life I can as a human, but if that offends or bothers y'all, then I apologize. I don't think I should just act like everyone else, but instead am responsible for figuring out the right way to live.
I think you really need to be a bit MORE gentle with yourelf and your expectations of yourself. You appear to be getting bogged down in rhetoric. No one really cares what YOU choose to do...just don't shove it down anyones' throat.
As for Objectification?? I am thinking that is a hangover from the Hebrew Patriachal period that forms the basis of the three major religions (and their off shoots) today. 5k+ years of habit is hard to break so I wouldn't get too emotional if I were you...
Just be yourself ...that is all.
