  • Yes.

    Sex is not the value of life but this generation got it the other way around. Of course majority would disagree because they all got raised through the same circle and it's part of them. In my perspective; It's a result of the raise of the porn industry and uncontrolled sexual liberation.

    The social values and life principles got exchanged when the generation started to transform through Millennials. New generation's values started to construct around sex more and more. For people like me; it is overrated. Sex is part of life. But for this generation; life is part of sex. Sex is the center of the universe for them. They literally communicate with their genitalia not their brains. It doesn't matter who you are; what is your character or what your name is. All they want is to get sex and let go of each other. Hello = sex. First sex; then we get to know each other if you were good enough. Just a temporarily station of each other's lives. Most of people nowadays are feeling great with this lifestyle and they enjoy it. Dating leads to sex. Interactions at any sort can possibly leads to sex. People literally put sex ahead of everything else in order to determine their relationship. They live and breath sex. They value each other through physical characteristics and the body sizes whether it's butt; breast or penis. They are so drowned into these games. Everything is just sex sex sex.

    I'm out of this circle so it is overrated for me. I've been raised differently. My values and principles are different. My goals and purposes are different. For me; sex is part of life not life part of sex. Sex is not the most important thing in the world. There are far more critical subjects and priorities than sexuality. And my life does not evolves around objectifying others for their body sizes; shapes; physical characteristics and these sort of measurements. For me; it is overrated and these sort of lifestyle people are having is unacceptable and unattractive to me.

    Sex is not everything. Not even the most important thing.

    Good Luck.

  • This is impossible to answer in universal terms, because "#overrated" depends on individual expectations and experiences. Some people assume sex will be mind-blowing but wind up bored or disgusted by it; others don't get what all the fuss is about and then wind up with steam burting out of their ears; still others expect sex to be divine and find it a failure in that regard but still fun.

    Sex may feel like a mere means of pleasure and fun but there is a lot of good that it can do for your relationship.

    Sex may seem like a physical activity but it has an emotional appeal to it. It causes the body to release oxytocin which is also called the love hormone that will make you feel that you need to love and trust your partner.

    There are also ways to love without sex.

  • Sex is one of the most fundamental way of life, ensuring the existence of any species and the most primal expression of any living thing. It's simply reproduction. So how is that overrated?

    The media's portrayal of sex, in the industries respectively gives it a sense of it being overrated. However, bad publicity is still publicity no matter how you view it. Don't let the media cloud your judgement.

    Think about gender expectations too, males are usually seen as the ones to take the lead because of their masculinity and females are seen the more vulnerable gender, this perpetuates certain stereotypes amongst society. Affecting laws and policies, look the way both genders function in a society. This influence the way we view genders and sex related issues.

    Sex is subjective, to men and women alike, how do you define sex as an individual? To some it's the union of two persons in love, to some it's self exploration, to some, sex doesn't matter. Sex is about self and identity, the process is then carried out to reflect both partners. Then you have a relationship of a few kinds.

    So to me, sex is not overrated, because I know what it means to me.

  • In what context? Are you asking if the media makes too big a deal, if society places too much pressure, or if in general it just ain't that great?

    I personally love sex, couldn't be happy without it, and I love it when a man has a seemingly insatiable sex drive.

    The only reason media is showing it more is because people are finally beginning to realize that sex isn't something to fear or shame, and that women enjoy it as much as men.

    My only complaint is abstinence only education. Teaching avoidance doesn't educate individuals on safe ways to handle what is fast becoming an acceptable facet of teen romances.

    We should preach abstinence while teaching safe practice. I've never been pregnant, or had std in my life because of the classes I was required to take when I was in school.

  • No. Infact, people these days tend to see it as nothing much, especially in the westren world.

    I mean, sure, sex *is* great fun. But you are giving your body to someone who gives his bodg to you as well, these two people has to worth something to each other enough to do that.

    It should be overrated again. Because we becoming more and more accepting of casual sex partners, like sex is just like playing basketball.

    My point is, sex isn't nothing. It isn't everything either, but it is something pretty big. Not saying you should be some saint, but don't do it with just anyone just because it's "fun".

    The answer is shortly, no. Sex is not overrated. We are seeing it more as nothing than everything these days in the westren world.

    • Thanks for MHO

  • Overrated in the sense many people make it the best thing of their lives and something they cannot live without - as breathing - definitely overrated.
    NO one needs intercourse to survive and, as with everything pleasurable, overindulgence is probably not a good thing.

    Some people think about sex ALL the time since they wake up until they go to sleep, catcall people they don't know in the street and so on.
    There's always this pressure for women to look sexy all the time and wear revealing clothes, like we are always on or something. Many times I think it's too much.
    Sorry, but I've also never noticed a correlation between very horny people and intelligence and progress - quite the opposite.

    • very true

  • The first few times I had sex, I could not figure out what was the big deal about it. Let alone figure out why people would risk their marriage or careers over it. I just did not get it.

    So I stopped having sex for a few years since I realized I must be missing something about it.

    And then I tried sex again and realized that I could understand it now.

    Maybe you are just not ready for sex? That is OK, if that is true.

  • No I don't think sex is overrated I think that is overused I think that it's oversaturated in our media and I also think that it's not worth as much as it used to be worth in terms of a relationship base but no it is not overrated

  • Yes, I do.

  • Depends on who it's with really. In my younger years sex was just kinda like eh that was nice. But when you meet the person who pushes every single one of your buttons in just the right way, it's never the same again.

  • Vastly. Been about 3 years for me now. I don't miss it.

  • Not really

  • Not really no. I wanna have sex with the guy I love. It's essentially a physical connection

  • No not at all, I think it's obsessed over too much in the culture, and I believe it's taken to unhealthy levels and expectations. But sex itself is beautiful

  • I don't think sex in itself is overrated, however I do think sexualizing everything under the sun is overrated and over played

  • Its a necessary part of assuring our survival as humans. The problem is human have become the greatest predator on earth and after globalization there's no longer a need for reproduction like there was 200-300 years ago. The worlds populace has sky rocketed and sex is primarily a rite of passage into adulthood and a social interaction. It used to be valued and appreciated by couples who wanted to start a family and spend the rest of their lives together, but those days have passed. Sex is casual, flippant and selfish each person taking temporary pleasure and satisfaction (a rush of dopamine) then nothing else, hence one night stands, Tinder and ghosting. Everyone wants pleasure, but no one wants lasting love, commitment and the values of old. Those are prudent and worthless now.

  • I don't find it to be as important to a relationship as others. I recognize that that's a personal thing, but yes, I do think it is over hyped in general, even for those who do find it important.

  • No its amazing what the human body does to show us we love each other I feel sex is underrated. The less you understand of sex the worse y'all be at and higher chances of pregnancy or a STD😱.

  • No it's not overrated.

  • It's not overrated, no, but it is given way too much importance by some people.

  • Yeah, I never understood why is there always such a fuss about sex. I mean, it can be good, sometimes it can be great, but honestly I can find heaps of other things that I enjoy doing more. Sex is promoted like it's the best damn thing in the world, when in fact it's not. At least not for me. Or maybe I just haven't had THE sex yet.

  • No Sex is not overrated. Regardless of some of the crazy opinions I have read on here that it is.. Sex is actualy underrated and is the key component and foundation of any relationship. Women have been thought to use sex as a control tool over men to get what they want in relationships. They will stop having sex with a man to push a man to act, whether it's getting engaged , going on trip, getting the man to buy them something etc.. A man should never ever stay in a relationship with this type of woman when this happens. Run and run as fast as you can.. I mean , I am talking about real men not the men that posted on here that sex is overrated. Some men like their smart phones and game apps over sex but real men need sex. So again, a woman needs to know how to have sex and enjoy sex with her man. If that is not the case , then you better run.

  • If you think sex is over-rated, you're doing it wrong.

    • Or you doing it with the wrong person.

    • @helva sooooo true!

  • No, I don’t think sex is overrated, at least not with the right person is it overrated.

  • Nope.

  • I wouldn't say that it's overrated, just that its a little overexposed in the media
