Sex

Necro has got to be the most savage and blatantly sexual hip hop artist I have ever heard in my life; strangely since the songs aren't laced with the cliché "money, cash, hoes" format like the more mainstream hip hop artists use, it's more of a refreshing thing to hear this guy make music about sex. It's taboo to speak of anything sexual in Western culture; talks about sex in Germany, Italy, and France is widely out in the open. There's even vending machines with pornographic magazines in Germany! There's no way in hell that you would ever see that here in the "United Snakes."

I remember being in my 12th grade psychology class and my teacher, Mr. MacKenzie explaining how societies (such as Germany, Italy, and France) that don't see sex as a taboo don't live with the same neuroses as the people in America do. He made a important correlation between being neurotic affected by taboos such as sex to destructive human behavior such as murder, rape, etc. He said this is why America leads the whole world in murders, rapes, and other violent crimes. It makes sense to me, does it make sense to you? The more taboos a people have, the more neurotic they will become which will cause extreme acts of self-destruction by drug and alcohol abuse, rape, and even murder.

So speak freely about whatever you please, and don't let so-called rules of your society hold you back from being open with yourself and the people around you. Live as you please; it's your life, not the powers that be.
