Controversial but Comprehendible!

For all I know, I am still skeptical on the matter I wanted to post this time. It may contradict with others. As for me, it is becoming more and more norm scenario and in-thing for current life. With much courage collected, let me bring to you, the topic of this entry.

SEX!

What? Sex? Oh my, we are not allowed to speak this in public? No way I am going to speak about this? Are you nuts?

These are some of the mockery that people use every time the topic is being raised. But why is it so? I am still vague on this. Of all I know, since small I have known the topic sex or even talking about sexual agendas has been a taboo in Malaysia! Lame as it may sound, the more people hide it, the more will be self-revealed!

As we are moving towards the technology era, I think, this isn’t becoming anymore forbidden-state of topic to be discussed. Sexuality is becoming more and more hard stuff to decide for. I have seen many incidents, or come to hear about people having hard time to reveal their self. Let’s not talk about the western culture, but being in Malaysia, I have seen vast incidents related to the topic being discussed here.

Homosexual (this includes gays, lesbians and bisexuals) and Transgender is a daily scene nowadays. Seriously speaking, I have nothing against them and I don’t discriminate people for their choice and preference in life. But for some, this clan has been a disgrace for the society. As far as I know, this people never had harmed anyone in particular. Apparently, due to normal people like us, they had to hide the true identity and live in hypocrisy. My sympathy goes to them who still need to hide in their closet on their sexuality.

The media, especially some movies produced nowadays to bring this back-alley-society to the day light just to show them that its okay to be what they are. For instance, the movie broke back mountain showcases two guys passionately kisses each other had been a controversial movie yet. (I came to know the existence of the movie in one of the publication of The Star two months ago). Besides that, the production of Bollywood and Kollywood has been venturing into bringing this people out of the closets in their recent production of Dostana and also Goa. Salute to those producers who dare enough to produce the life of this people and make us together laugh rather than getting disgusted with it.

When actually Malaysians can be really open towards sexuality and sex related topic? After such a big fuss over sex education at school, apparently it is been getting positive comments on its relatedness to educating people regarding sex. This sex education reminds me of incident back when I was in secondary school, where form three science is the first step of learning on reproductive system. All my male classmates took the initiative of approaching our science teacher, Ms. Salmah to ask question related to sex! Being a mother of 4 sons, she took a deep breath and said its time for her to learn how to adapt to this kind of question and started explaining for each question being asked. Kudos to her, for taking a big leap and come out of her comfort zone and teach us.

Its time for all this to be a normal thing in our daily routine and chores but don’t get the picture wrong. I didn’t mean that this is something that everyone should practice but just give a look on what is actually happening around us. These people who have had sexuality problem needs attention to be given not being peculated about. After all they are also human and they have feelings. Stop discriminating and let’s not cross the borders of their path. As I always say, Love all Serve all!

p/s: Controversial topic as I said, and I speculate there will be a lot of speculation regarding the topic and also the writer itself! As I said, its still a taboo to talk about this and the person who talks about this get labeled! Sigh!
