[QUOTE="AlexBP, post: 61352036, member: 261211"] Thank you for posting on a topic that many people are afraid to take on. There are several different questions here, so I'll try to take each one individually. [B]"Sexual desires are a result of our brain chemistry and hormones, right?"[/B] Wrong, actually, or at least not entirely right. In truth, no one knows exactly what causes sexual desires. No one knows exactly what causes any desires. It seems likely that brain chemistry and hormones play some role in determining our sexual desires, but other important factors are at play as well. No scientific research has ever traced any sexual taste or preference to any particular chemical or hormonal cause. Meanwhile, sexual desires are quite different in different societies and have been quite different at different times in history. Yet brain chemistry and hormones are the same in all societies and have been the same throughout history, at least as far as we know. Hence there must be some social causes for our sexual desires as well. We live in a society saturated by sex. The modern USA and Europe have more inappropriate contentography, more fornication, and more public celebration of sex than any other society in human history. It seems clear that because of this, our sexual desires are different from that of our ancestors, and different from those in other countries. [B]"Also, it's unhealthy to suppress your sexual urges and hate yourself."[/B] It is unhealthy to hate yourself. It is not unhealthy to suppress your sexual desires. I know of no study which has found that those who suppress their sexual desires until marriage are less healthy. Every study I've seen has concluded that people who do so are more healthy and also get more enjoyment out of sex. [/QUOTE]
