Time : Around midnight
Location : The boys hostel of a 'fictional' engineering college in Kerala
Two boys are in a heated discussion while a third is sleeping.
A : The biggest problem with our traditions is that other people decide when, where and with whom we are supposed to have sex. Its like the enforcers of our culture and traditions, lets call them 'the moral police'... its like they derive a somewhat sadistic pleasure in denying us the right to have sex if you're not married.
B : So, the reason you are distressed is because pre-marital sex is discouraged in our society. Huh?
A : I just dont agree with the norm that having a job and getting married are prerequisites to getting laid.
B : In that case, please invoke your abundant wisdom and tell us what the real prerequisites are.
A : The only prerequisite is just that you wanna do it.
B : So, in your opinion, if one wants to do it, he should just go ahead and do it..? Without thinking about consequences or the psychological effects it may have on him and his partner..?
A : Uhh... I, uhh...
B : Let me tell you about nuclear fission. Its a beautiful process. If done in a controlled environment, inside a nuclear reactor, it is a very efficient way to produce energy. But, if you dont control it, the process can destroy everything in its proximity... like Hiroshima. Sex is similar you know. Promiscuity can be disastrous. Sex needs a controlled environment and marriage provides just that, a controlled environment wherein the consequences are manageable.
A : You did not just make that analogy... sex and nuclear fission? Seriously? Hiroshima? That's ridiculous. You couldn't be more absurd.
B : Enlighten me then.
A : Hmm... sex, well... sex is like the proverbial apple of Eden. You instruct us not to eat it... we'll sneak out behind your back and shake down the tree to eat it, without thinking about the consequences.
But, if you allow us a bite once in a while, you know like give us our fair share... we'll keep away from the tree.
B : phh.. and you think my analogy was ridiculous.
C gets up groaning, sits on his bed facing A and asks : Supposing that the tree was not forbidden, and you are hungry too... but what if there were no apples on it?
A : Meaning what?
C : Meaning, Is there a girl who is willing to go down that road with you?
A : No... not yet.
C : Then shut the fuck up and let me sleep.
P.S
Mom.. dad... if you've read this and were wondering... I'm not the A in this story. So, no need to worry okay. Promiscuity is an evil thing. Period.
I'm either B or C. Take your pick.

ReplyDeleteI'm A... I'm B... and C as well. 'Aham Brahmaasmi'

What does abstinence get you exactly? Except that you get to add '...sexually frustrated 21 year old...' in your bio?
ReplyDeleteWait.. Did I give the impression that I was serious about abstinence?
Delete:P
Say, premarital sex is LEGAL and COMMON where you live and there are women willing to take off their clothes for you, will abstinence be still your choice? Isn't our sense of morality a tad imposed? Aren't we pretending to be 'virtuous' because it is harder to realize and acknowledge that we don't have any choice at all? How genuine is our morality? Food for thought.
ReplyDeleteYeah... that's kinda what I was trying to say through the article.
