All Used Up
Sex. Is it all about sex? Is “free love,” that mantra from the hippy dippy days, the path to nirvana and individual freedom? Should sex become just an everyday ho hum, hey it feels good, let me stop and get a quick BJ at the Five & Dime type thing? Should kids be having sex, and if so, how young should individuals encourage their kids to start having sex? Instead of slumber parties, should oral, coed orgies be encouraged, for the children?
Ally, at Who Moved My Truth, whose comments on this issue are titled “The Clinton Mentality,” links to an article from the NYT which peeps into the world of teen sex where kids say things like the following about sex.
“It’s equal,” she said. “Everyone is using each other. That’s fair.”
A comment which brought to mind the following Bill Withers tune.
“My friends feel it’s their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I’m sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you’d wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Oh sometimes yeah it’s true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can’t get enough
I and I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do
It ain’t too bad the way you’re using me
Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do
Ah ha to do the things you do”
What happens when they’re all used up?
