Odd question, eh? Perverted even? Well, think what you want, but there's a method to my madness.

Your genitals are just another organ on your body (organ is the wrong word, but you either know what I mean or don't understand why organ is the wrong word), essentially equivilent to a hand, just with a different function. Just because you use your genitals for sex does not make them special organs. They are constructed out of blood and tissue just like the rest of your parts; the only difference being that they have a high concentration of nerves and aid in the reproductive process. For some reason people seem to think there is something wrong or naughty about genitals. Just look at our society: we cover them up even when there is no real need for it, we think it's somehow bad to look at members of the same sex's genitals, etc. For example, a guy looking at another guy's wang is strictly forbidden, yet that same guy can look at the other guy's arm without a second thought. It really doesn't make any sense if you actually stop and think.

The reason why this is the norm in society is because of how we were raised, not because humans naturally think their genitals are forbidden. Part of what contributes to it, I propose, is that parents treat a child's genitals differently than they will treat their other organs. I mean, mom might touch little Johnny's dick when she's wiping him down after a diaper change, but she's not gonna go near it otherwise. When people play with babies, they touch the baby's hands, feet, legs, nose, ears, etc. but never go near the tender bits. I think this helps to perpetuate the cycle of outright silliness that we continue to be a part of.

In America, we are the worst offenders of the absurd notion that sex is dirty and the penis and vagina are for private display only. In other parts of the world, they are much less retarded when it comes to sex in general, and we should really start to follow their example.

Enough rambling though, here's my proposal: in the not too distant future when you have children, touch their genitals as much as you would touch any other area of their body. EWWWW! THAT'S GROSS, YOU CHILD MOLESTOR. Shut up. It's not. At all. I'm not proposing that you jack your 5 year old off here, not in the slightest. Just stay with me here. When kids are very, very little (ie. pre-talking/walking) it's pretty common practice to stimulate them by touching all different parts on their body and telling them what it is and making cute sounds and stuff. I assume that most people leave out the genitals when they do this (if they don't, my whole theory is ruined, so we'll just assume my assumption is correct). I'm simply saying this: don't leave out the genitals. If you think this is just too sexual for you I hope the next time you go to the beach, you drown because the lifeguard thinks that mouth to mouth resuscitation is just too gay for him. Remember, infants don't know about sex, they're not going to take it sexually. The only thing they will do is think that there is something wrong with the area between their legs if it is the only part of them you refuse to go near. Once the whole touchy game with your little tike stops, then stop touching the genitals as well. I'm not encouraging sexual abuse here, just to make myself totally clear.

I honestly have no clue why I was thinking about this, much less wrote an article on it. Then again, this isn't the first time that's happened. Anyway, let me know what you think. Am I mad, or do I have a valid point? I'm interested in what people are going to think.
