A Genitals-free World
What is the answer?
I have been avoiding the news lately. It’s all so disgusting. I can’t take it any more.
Occasionally I have pondered what the world might be like if humans did not have genitals. It seems like most of our problems stem from having genitals and what those genitals do to our bodies and minds. Without genitals would people be more loving with each other? Would they not be so darn polarized? Without spending so much time and energy reacting to the urges of their genitalia would humans not be more productive, creative, peaceful, and loving? Would we then finally be able to get along?
I shudder to think how much time I wasted in the pursuit of sexual gratification when I was young. Instead I could have been planting trees or something — trees that would now be bearing fruit. I could have spent that time pursuing knowledge and wisdom and abundance and helping my fellow humans. I could have crossed a lot of things off my bucket list. I might have even had the time to build a retirement fund.
Of course I know how silly I’m being in thinking those thoughts. A genitals-free humankind is not the answer to so many of our problems, even if it…
