Really goes to show how warped societal perceptions of sex are. It’s seen as this mystical thing that destroys minds that aren’t prepared to hear about it. It’s just a thing people do with their bodies. A thing that’s typically pretty intimate, sure, but intimacy isn’t that hard to understand, and sex doesn’t even have to be that intimate. Again, it’s just a thing people do with their bodies. People just attach so much extra baggage to the concepts of sex and sexuality that they lose sight of that.
Obviously understanding sex and consent and being a virtuoso musician aren’t comparable one-to-one, but if anything sex is easier to understand and execute. (I say this as a musician and composer who was sexually repressed most of their life.)
I think your assumption that sex is “only a thing people do with their bodies” is precisely your roadblock. Anything we do at all is just something that people do with their bodies, yet we still have negative and positive emotions. If sex isn’t important to you, why are you here supporting this topic?
Sex carries incredible emotional weight for many people, and should be handled much more gently than something like learning how to play piano.
