Sex, drugs
and rock n roll was the seventies outlook on relationships and intimacy. The
eighties were more about being scared of sex due to the first knowledge of AIDS
but that did not stop all the “causal” sex from happening. Youth began to
become obsessed with celebrities and seeing them as more sex and relationship
role model’s then their parents in the nineties. Now it’s 2012 what has
changed? Vampires are lovable, sex is loveless, cheating is normal, and
loveless marriages are the norm. Is this a change; no. This was happening for
as long as anyone can remember or read about. It is just more accepted in
today’s society then before. Media has allowed for the world to see what all
those years ago was only talked about behind closed doors. Well except the vampires
being loveable. Dracula was one scary vampire then and now! Movies and
television shows like True Blood, Twilight and one of the most ever talked
about shows Sex in the City have shown the world the sexier side of sex and
relationships. The show 16 and Pregnant has showed the world that there are
teens having babies every day. We just don’t send them off to some school and
tell our friends they are visiting family like forty years ago. Is the world better now than in the past?
Some would say by far we have come a long way with prevention, education, and
rights where sex and relationships are concerned. Others would view this as a
downward spiral to our society. Then there are the ones that just dream of
there one true love whether it be a millionaire, vampire, or shape shifter to
show up and sweep them off their feet.
