Sex as passion Or Sex as destruction

The little prisoner by JANE ELLIOT

Reading this book inspired this blog. Admittedly i have only got three quarters through it..It got me into thinking about how easily we can sleep with people that we barely even know, and self assert this betrayal of our own bodies..our own minds when their are children being forced into it. We go day by day complaining about one night stands despite allowing these 'incidents' to happen fully aware of such rape cases happening around us with full ignorance.

So, with every day learning more and more about a person how can we say with all honesty we know the person that we are sleeping with? There are paticular allowances like sleeping next to our mother, or a close relative when what we do know of them is enough to feel comfortable..but how can we mock one night stands when in such rushed into relationships we do JUST that but repetitivley.
My idea is to keep sex more personal, more indepth and behind closed doors. I, along with the moving world embrace such a thought. Sex isn't just a act of passion, it is an act of jealousy and deviance within 'cheating' and sometimes a favour returned.
Sex has become an act of power, generalised from the 'male sex'. Every woman in the world must assume that men are always guilty from the pleasure of it. However when we read or hear about these stories of domestic relationships, children being kidnapped, raped and murdered ect... we immediatley have that pang of shock. But should we feel guilty for enjoying something in the same nature another person was killed in?
Ofocurse we should not, I don't suggest we do but i do suggest that we take sex more seriously and take factors out of it.
The entire feel of it has been mocked through our new generation, having it brought into every minute of the day conversations..drinking games and generalisation.
Sex aswell as love has become a 'must have' accessory.

Essentially, sex based relationships are presumed to fail so when we think we are falling in love..are we falling in love the idea of a great relationship that is fun and exciting or are we casually missing out on all the relationship qualities that exceed our hopes? 
Is sex actually an act of destruction?
