SOS SEX: MYTH OR REALITY?
Once upon a time, I crossed the pathway of a sex inspector. He depicts a senior-age man who has studied psychology and completed police training. He is happily married and has adult kids. I consider him a good man who has lived a normal life. I needed some enlightenment regarding the shape and form of sex crime in modern times.
I asked: «Why choose psychology and police force as a career?»
He responded: «My ancestors root from Nordic countries. Sometimes, psychological concepts are addressed via Nordic noir story telling. In fact, many guiding principles are romanticized for youth via cartoons or through movies as well as novels for adults. I was fascinated by human interactions and the mind so I studied psychology. The police force in the Western World is multi-faceted and offers a lifetime career where you can make a difference. I think my origins and ability to synthetize human interactions facilitated my comprehension in sex crime which portrays an unpopular branch because it is difficult on an emotional scale.»
I asked: «What is a sex crime?»
He responded: «The combination of sex and crime is misunderstood as a whole. A sex crime depicts a criminal act when a person is touched, forced or threatened sexually or has been subject of sex without consent. Moreover, consent is not provided when a person is unconscious or not of legal age to provide approval. Sexual infractions include voyeurism, indecent gestures, the distribution of intimate images without consent, and lastly, infractions against kids and teenagers. Nowadays, there are many sources available and the subject is no longer perceived as taboo. I would recommend people to read about the topic but also cross-validate information. Not all information originates from accurate sources.»
I asked: «Can you name misconceptions about your job?»
He responded: «There are many misjudgments in my domain of expertise. Sometimes, we are perceived as debauched or aliens disguised in law-and-order jobs to fulfill illegal sexual desires. There are people from happy upbringings who have never been victim of sex crimes who end up sex inspectors but there are also people from difficult upbringings who end up in the domain. There is no one-size-fit-all prototype to make a living as a sex inspector. I think it is important to demystify people working in this line of occupation. We should also respect and esteem people who work in a domain we wish not hear, see or shy away from. So, let's talk about sex!»
I asked: «How About Adonis and Narcissus?»
He responded: «Both names derive from Greek mythology. Adonis portrays a handsome young man believed to have coexisted in the underworld after being slain by a boar. In modern times, Adonis means mortal beauty that makes you fall in love at first sight. Narcissus depicts a beautiful man dazzled by his own ego. In fact, he fell in love with his own reflection in waters. In modern times, Narcissus denotes narcissism henceforth an excessive person projecting emotional immaturity as well as exuberant self-esteem.»
I asked: «How has sex crime evolved in modern times?»
He responded: «Sex crime is as ancient as humanity. That being said, for the sake of this interview, the statistics provided arise from Western researchers in the domain. There are new dimensions linked to sex crime in modern times: social media facilitates the distribution of sex material, the availability of sexual content in society impacts schools where kids and teenagers are exposed at a very early age, and the marketing of sex has also changed. Although sexual liberation brought freedom to many, it also engendered new problems to society.»
I asked: «Do sex crimes target a specific group?»
He responded: «No! Sex crimes are committed by both genders in all age groups as well as all social rankings. Sex crimes occur in all cultures.»
I asked: «Do people change?»
He responded: «No! We all are predisposed with personality and behavioral traits. As a person ages, the person becomes conditioned to react in a way. When people are rehabilitated, they are taught to adapt to new situations. I do not consider adaptation as a fundamental alteration. That being said, rehabilitation is a necessary must to human advancement. In fact, all humans rehabilitate themselves to adapt to new environments even when the process does not arise from a jurisdictional requisite. In other words, some people who have done wrong things can become better. Inversely, some people who have never done wrong things can do bad things much later in life. I think social standards tend to fit people in two categories: good or bad. However, this is untrue because good people can become bad and bad people can become good however their DNA does not fundamentally change but their alter ego can adapt to new environments.»
I asked: «Would you like to share statistics in sex crime?»
He responded: «Yes! These statistics are based on the country I currently reside in. Here are some results: 1) people under the age of 25 are 4 times more likely to face sex crimes compared to adults above the age of 65, 2) 1 adult in 6 who has been victim of sex crime will say that it remains the most traumatic life event, 3) 8 times out of 10, the victim knows the aggressor, 4) victims under the age of 18 depict the highest category of sex crime victims, 5) there are more female victims of unconsented distribution of sex images than men, 6) 9 times out of 10, the aggressor is of male gender, 7) 9 times out of 10, the victim is of female gender 8) approximately 1 sex crime out of 7 is signaled to police authorities, 9) sex crimes have increased in the past decade, 10) Police authorities and many social organizations have increased sex crime awareness by 80% over the past decade, 11) half of sex crimes are perpetrated in homes or private properties, 12) 1 victim out of 6 has been victim of sex crime before the age of 18, 13) people with disabilities are twice as much victims of sex crimes compared to individuals without disabilities.»
I asked: «Does immortality exist in sexuality?»
He responded: «No! Immortality does not exist. Just like in many domains, people tend to sustain the illusion that immortality exists to fantasize about the afterworld. I think sexual intercourse might have lost its vestry. Back in the day, the concept of sex was linked to copulation. I sometimes wonder if sex became a social activity or a sport. I do not mix people working in the sex industry with the general public. I think people working in the sex industry are subject to many preconceived opinions about them from the general public.»
I asked: «Can people lie about sex crime?»
He responded: «Yes! People come up with creative and pervasive ways to nourish the desire for attention or sympathy. Some people see it as a weapon to gain something in return or promote their career. False reports are becoming less uncommon.»
I asked: «What is sex appeal?»
He responded: «Sex appeal represents an array of attributes from physical and mental attractiveness, pheromones, charm and sexual arousal linked to an individual's aura that induces a sexual reaction at first sight in strangers. As opposed to general belief, only 5% of strangers genuinely turn heads when presented to an audience grouping 7 continents. In other words, one shall embrace diversity and multiculturalism. There is no such thing as a superior breed or moral superiority.»
I asked: «How about basic instinct?»
He responded: «Basic instinct depicts a natural response mechanism to a stimuli without the use of reasoning or rational thinking. In other words, it is your gut feeling. As you experience life events, your unconsciousness will memorize your past reactions that you inadvertently use to shape your gut feeling.»
I asked: «Are people emotional or physical in sex?»
He responded: «A good proportion of people are physical when it comes to sex. In other words, they are sexually aroused with sex appeal. A minority of people are emotional which means that it takes an emotional connection to light up their sexual desire.»
I asked: «What is your recommended plan of action for a person sexually harassed?»
He responded: «Sexual harassment is defined as a conduct to engage in unwelcomed vexatious sexual behavior. First, I would recommend people to read material regarding the topic from valid sources. Then, you shall talk to the harasser to ensure that the person understands that such behavior is undesired on your end. You need to confront the harasser before you move forward to other steps. It is also recommended to document your every move.»
I asked: «What is your input regarding the current turmoil in the Arabian Peninsula?»
He responded: «I see opportunism. I take with a grain of salt all information out there especially in regard to sexual harassment as well as sex crimes. I think people are disgusted to see human misery in this day and age induced by other humans. Generally, humans who are deprived of essential nutrients and basic necessities such as water to shower show a decrease in libido. It does not mean that people are not having sex. I see the cause of women and sex crimes being used to dig dirt on the opponent rather than genuinely address sexual harassment as well as sex crimes. It smells fishy when diplomacy interferes with police affairs. On the one hand, it is not because people do not report sex crimes that they are not being committed. On the other hand, it is not because people are reporting sex crimes that all claims are true. If people are attempting to play superhero then at least be objective and advocate for the protection of people against sex crimes on both sides and that is the only way to push for human advancement in the right direction.»
I asked: «Are you concerned about the North-American liaison?»
He responded: «I see an aging empire reminiscing on past vigor like a Young & Restless Character. I am left with the impression that they are attempting to meddle international affairs like soap operas. Humans have been around for thousands of years and it is normal for new world dominance to emerge. There will always be geopolitical shifts regardless whether there are sex crimes or not!»
I responded: «Thanks for a wonderful lesson in SOS Sex: Myth or Reality!»
