Why is sex and innocence opposites in our society?
Why isn't sex innocent? Why aren't young people taught to embrace sex and their sexuality? Why do we put such a stigma on it? OR do you feel it hasn't been stigmatized?

There seems to be a prevailing belief that any and every sexual act to which one is tempted at some moment is normal and healthy. And there are people who want to keep us obsessed and addicted to sex so that we'll have little sales resistance.
This has not always been the case. There was a time when one of the things one looks foward to in marriage is sex; there was a time when the principles were clear on the sexual desires to permit and the ones to reject; a time when children a usually raised by married couples and thus they would learn a lot about sexuality from their father and mother.(then divorce and single parenting was not the norm).
Napoleon Hill, in his book 'Think and Grow Rich' speaks of the evils of intemperance or overindulgence in habits of sex.
Now we have become a society that is divided on the meaning of freedom, but seems to believe that it means a surrender to all desires. A world without restraints.
A word is more likely to be abused when the concept it represents becomes corrupted.
Young people do not even need to be taught. They learn by observation and by the examples around.
Unfortunately, the inflamed and unbridled sexual instinct is what they've got to learn from.
