Sports expose children to sexual thoughts?

Are children corrupted by the exposure to sexual thoughts and terminology in sports at a young age? The author’s opinions and observations serve as the contrarian view. Most people do not attend a sports game and analyze how every move and technique can be related to a sexual activity. It is not true that sports instigate such thoughts. In actuality, humans who degrade the unique intimacy and “unionship” of sex correlate the act to a sports game. Sex becomes the game where the “players’” goal is to bat a “homerun” or gain the highest “scores”. When children are playing their athletic games, it is highly doubted that the child is searching for the sexual connotation behind the game. For example, when first learning about how to properly hold the football, my cousin showed me how to place my fingers around the football; however, I certainly did not connect the placement of my fingers with the sexual process of fingering. One’s fingers are used to do many things, whether it is for a sport, art, cooking, writing, or even for pleasure. Furthermore, more people have sex before marriage not because of the exposure to sports, but because people are getting married at an older age. The body begins to experience strong sexual drives during the teenage years. As opposed to 50 years ago, where men and women were married and were satisfying their sexual urges before the age of 20, today majority are getting married in late twenties or thirties. Thus, one can not blame sports for the increase of premarital sex among teens. Instead of thinking that sports instigate sexual thoughts, it is better to say that humans corporate sexual thoughts into sports. Having sex is an act, just as a sport is an act. It’s funny to see how sports and sex are very similar in regards to achieving the highest “score” or climax. It can even be further compared to the point where sports aide in bonding a team and sex aides in bonding two lovers. Yet, some of the unique aspects of sex are neglected in sports, which draws the line of distinction.
