Of course sex is not worse than death. Quite the contrary, it is a celebration of life and real sensation and affinity. And this is true in every state and nation.

But there are pushbutton media reactions to be found wherever a controversy is in play or can be started. The three things that sell viewers or readers below a certain threshold are sex, controversy and violence or huge forces.

Tiresome as these subjects are, they make up the largest foodgroups of the Western intellectual diet because they sell papers, or web pages.

IF you want to know why this is so you need to explore the mechanisms of human aberration and why some folks are neurotic on certain subjects.

I doubt that such an exploration would be good thread fodder, though.
