Khajuraho,+the+place+of+love





Presentation of my artefact 

The  Khajuraho  is an ensemble of Hindu and Jain temples, located about 200 km from Jhansi, Madhya Pradesh, India, in a mountain range called  Vindhya,  where Shiva and other Hindu gods used to play according to the legends. Those monuments are famous for its sculptures of sexual tantric positions, inspired by the Kamasutra (an antique Hindu scripture). Beside only 10% of the sculptures be about sexual practices, this group of monuments is worldwide known as the temple of sex, giving us an insight about how changed have the idea o sex, sexuality and gender been along different ages and cultures. 

 Public Health Issue  

 Understood as a holy place thousands of years before Christ, this whole range of sexual art pieces represented the deified instinct of sex, known as Kama, one of the four objectives in life, such as the cosmos, or the day by day life, with all its layers  of goodness, passions, or perversions. The contrast of its real meaning and the way it is interpreted by western contemporary culture is a reflection of the distortion of sexuality in contemporary society due, at least partially, to the large amount of pornography and online dating sex. As a consequence of that, we are suffering broad kinds of harms, from psychological, such as reduction of trust between couples, depression or porn addiction to infectious diseases such as HIV, being an important public health issue.  <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 18pt;">Literature Review <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;">

Soft forms of pornography which can be found in normal television or even advertisement are also included, as so many times it is the first construction source of sexuality and the first lens we try as how it is seen by society ( <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Talukdar <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 2013,), (Ward &  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rivadeneyra <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 1999). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Is well known that boys are the main users of pornography and, according to (Peter &  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Valkenburg <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 2008), usage of online pornography is associated with sexual insecurity in a study involving Danish adolescents. However, girls are also victims of Pornography, mainly of its soft forms. Earlier maturing girls seems to be more interested in sexual contents in movies, television and magazines than later maturing girls. "This interest apparently translates into greater exposure to sexual content" (Brown, Halpern &  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">L’Engle <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 2005, pp. 420-427). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> As expected in youth hood, when pornography is associated with the lack of experience, translated as  a poor understanding of issues like safe sex, sexual violence and sexual communication, it place it's users in an increased risk of experiencing sexual violence or, at least, unpleasant sexual experiences (Bryant, 2009). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> As the habit of watching pornography increase, also do its influences along different paths of life. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Studies show that the sexual script of society as a whole have already changed for more porn-like practices. Following the porn tendencies of showing anal intercourse as a common practice, interviews involving randomized women in Stockholm shown that anal intercourse has become much more common nowadays than on seventies ( <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rogala <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> &  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tydén <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 2003). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> As an influence of pornography, sex is being always more divorced from emotions. As stated by  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Zillmann <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> and Bryant and obviously concluded by the fever of hook up apps, great sexual joy without any attachment, commitment or responsibility is the chief proclamation of pornography. Consequently, the desire for progeny such as for exclusive sexual relationship has diminished, while multiple partners and acceptance of extramarital sex has increased (Zillmann & Bryant, 1988, pp. 518-544). Those changes can be judged as good or bad for society according to different moral values. However, as we see the aspects of pornography on adulthood and it’s commonly consequences, is difficult to look at this issue just as another change of values in society. According to Braithwaite, Coulson,  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Keddington <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> &  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Fincham <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (2014, pp. 111-123), early adult pornography users experiment poorer couple communication, relationship adjustment, commitment, sexual satisfaction, and more infidelity such as practice of unprotected sex. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Going further, to plain adulthood, the outcomes are even worse. Legal heterosexual pornography, even in non-excessive doses estimates sexist attitudes and abusive behaviour against women (Barak, Fisher, Belfry &  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lashambe <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 1999). This fact is also linked with the communication of unrealistic sexual scripts and body images making the porn users unhappy and unsecure about their partners and their own sex lives (Albright, 2008). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> In extreme cases of cybersex compulsion (term used in a study beside not present in the DSM V) the most common symptoms include neglecting interpersonal relationships with intimate partners, friends, and family, experiencing feelings of emptiness, distress, and irritability when prevented from pursuing online activities, lying to employers and family to cover up extent of online activities, and experiencing general problems with school or work responsibilities. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">It culminates in negative intrapersonal consequences, with those people suffering from considerable guilt, depression, anxiety and unable to a proper relationship with real life partners (Cooper, Delmonico, Griffin-Shelley <span class="NormalTextRun SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> & <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mathy <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 2004),( <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Benotsch <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">,  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Kalichman <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> & Cage, 2002). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">    Besides the majority of scientific material about the effects of online pornography defend the idea of it as something not healthy for our society's sex life and partners based relationships, is also important to remember that psychological studies like those have a few limitations and inherent bias involving specific populations of determined country and the lack of a direct cause effect outcome. In other words, we should be alert about how much sexual dissatisfaction, for example, is not the cause of seeking for pornography (Allen, Mahfouz &  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Philaretou <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 2005). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> A curious factor which can confuse some study results we should be a <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">ware is the third person effect, the fact that  people are tended to think that an issue such as online pornography has a more negative effect on other people than on themselves (Lee &  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tamborini <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 2005). This factor can influence their answers to questionnaires, being more likely to mark negative options for society questions and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;"> positive answers for personal questions. However, if their thoughts about society are just illusions and their personal answers are the only thing that should be considered, pornography could be even seen as something positive. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">An agnostic point of view is also present.

Our sexual practices have changed such as our way of understanding a relationship, getting more and more distanced  from feelings and bonds. As a long term consequence, however, people are not being happier or more sexual satisfied, as an act of sexual freedom (according to the way pornography is defended by some authors) should result. Regardless if pornography is addictive or not, or is a cause of rape or not, it should be considered as a public health issue as it is closely linked with psychological and sexual happiness. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Is not only trough pornography that masculinity has been defined by <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> power, money and sexuality in our culture, ( <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rotundo <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 1993)  but it is clear how pornography not only reinforce this idea. Even more,  it is also used as a bonding tool with other man for affirmation of masculinity and their desire of women. This cultural practice, however, have a few contradictions as on the same time men reaffirm their sexuality as straight, it is expected that their close bonds should be with other men. It can be easily exemplified with the practice of a group of male friends which complains with one of it's members who spends too much time with his girlfriend, instead of left her home and come to his friends' activities(Gardiner, 1993). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Examples like this illustrate how misogyny is embedded in our society causing harms for both men and women. According to Freud's theory, as applied by Kegan, hating women without desiring them could seems too homosexual, and desiring without hating them is something totally out of masculine standards of practice, as is easier to desire a devalued woman and still idealizing mom (Freud, Strachey, Freud,  <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rothgeb <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> & Richards, 1953). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Of course, Freud's theory is very earlier than online pornography and pornography unfortunately is not the main root of misogyny in our society, but it is being, nowadays, a tool to increase or even maintain this status quo of poor relationships and sexual lives. The banishment of pornography should not be the way to overcome it, as issues involving sex already have enough repression on it's causes. A tool, on the other hand, can be used for so many purposes and to build a broad range of different things. An interesting action for public health professionals or even government's policies could be the incentive for the development of a better porn, exposing the benefits and the excitement of sex and sexuality in different lens, maybe lens closer to the concept of "Kama" for the Ancient Indians, which sex pleasure and desire are inseparable of love and happiness for both man and women ( <span class="SpellingError SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Doniger <span class="TextRun SCX60078977" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, 2011). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;">

How should be a world which love desire, sex are so healthily linked, and gender restrictions are so less applied, allowing men and women to be so much less restricted in so many ways. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;"> <span class="NormalTextRun SCX60078977" style="background-color: inherit; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When I started my research about pornography and it's effects, beside the main academic speech be tended to condemn it, the number of bias, different results, opinions and speech currents left me lost somehow. After some reflection, however, I realised that one of the common results among so many studies' outcomes was the fact that pornography was closely linked with lack of relation between sexual practice and bonds or feelings and, why not, love. Unfortunately, it looks for me like a tendency in our society, which love in it's different forms is not being a priority. It could be an interesting research, but how to quantize love? This learning of mine maybe can not be academically proven, but the way our contemporary society is dealing with sex for me is a proof that happiness in adulthood can not be achieved without a deep relationship of trust and love. Those elements are not only necessary during the early stages of life as Freud again elucidates. They are essential all the life along like Erikson somehow exposed on his theory about stages of life. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8px;">
