A major contributing factor to our difficulty in controlling sexual appetites is the influence of television and other media. Anyone who watches a few hours of television each day cannot help being sexually agitated. No only do advertisements have sexual overtones, but many programs do also. In addition, movies are preoccupied with sex. This might not be a problem if the films portrayed healthy relationships, but unfortunately they often show exploitation, abuse and perversion. People also spend amazing amounts of money for special "adult" videos, or for sexual programming via cable. And what do they think their children are watching when they turn on the television? Television puts us in an alpha state similar to hypnosis that makes us far more receptive to suggestion than usual. As we watch, images implant themselves in our minds, where they can linger for days, weeks, months or even years. Think about it. Remember the last time you saw an intensely sexual scene, and recall how long it remained with you. With such images in our consciousness, no wonder we have such great difficulty resisting the temptations of promiscuity. >From "Spiritual Warrior II: Transforming by Bhakti-tirtha Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
