Why are we so fascinated with sex? In my world, where nine out of ten people are virgins, just the mention of the word ignite a certain excitement. Is it because people wonder how it would really feel? Is it because sex is plastered all over the media, literature, arts even?

I think I know why people are so enthused with sex - and everything connected to it.

Society segregates children and adults; and so does everything else. Most of us are at a loss; we don't know what the boundary is between being a child and becoming an adult. Sex is something that only grown-ups do - and at some point we realize that the only way to recognize ourselves as a full-fledged adult is to 'do it'. Once you've experienced it, you can never return to childhood - that's the way it goes.

Still, even those who had already experienced it, but have not yet found answers, act awkward towards the deed. Desire, uncertainty, restlessness - messing up their beliefs, their perceptions. I've realized once that age does not always equate to aged wisdom; maybe some older folks haven't even considered themselves as 'grown-ups'.

I suppose nearly everyone wants to grow up at some point in life, and prove that they really did. But I should tell you that the day will come when you won't think of every sexual encounter as something life-changing, and be on terms with the understanding that there's more to maturity than just feeling the opposite gender's body.

Then sex wouldn't be life-changing nor fascinating; it will just have its meaning.
