Sex Is Nature’s Boon
“Winarsih, a girl from Wonogiri is just one among perhaps thousands other victims as published in a news paper. Did you read it?” So said pak Arif to me.
A pet dog could be treated preventing its pregnancy but why is there no information to young people about how to prevent an undesired pregnancy? Is it meant to preserve their virginity, to prevent them from sin?
For married women a pregnancy would be welcomed, but for an unmarried girl it means catastrophe, hell. Then they are forced, threatened by the people to marry, while they aren’t ready to raise a family.
Abort the pregnancy, with all the dangers of an abortion, face the huge cost of it and be prosecuted? Otherwise she would give birth to a “fatherless”, unlawful child – so, people would mock - and open to shame and blame. Or, when there’s no way out, desperately commit suicide as Winarsih. Could she, or girls have access to information and free clinical assistance how to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, such a tragedy wouldn’t have happened. (Remember, this is Indonesia 1990)
Who can escape the urging force of sex, except very old decrepit people. A holy man too - they say -, even those who are married could slip, fall, moreover those that aren’t yet married.
While sex is Nature’s boon, not something to bemoan, deplore, be ashamed of. “Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for blessed are those who …” honor, respect it.
Ilona Staller, the lovely lady, an ex people’s representative of Italy has as motto: “Destroy weapons of nuclear energy. Instead, increase sexual energy.”
The Chinese philosophy has “Yin”, the female principle and “Yang”,the male principle. When “Yin” and “Yang” meet, go together, there’s heaven, harmony.
So pak Arif told me his thoughts.
