The other day, someone decided to do a vox populi asking whether anyone wanted a sexual revolution to happen in Azerbaijan. Most of the respondents, puzzled, asked what was meant by a sexual revolution. And the guy holding the microphone was telling them, \u201cfree sex, free sex!\u201d Immediately the respondents became reticent and standoffish \u2013 how can we talk about such things with our cultural and social mentality?! There is nothing surprising about that reaction; it is to be expected if the whole notion of a sexual revolution is an unfamiliar and uncomfortable concept.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  There was another group of people as well; those who said that although they understood the question perfectly well, the community at large is not ready, that it would be misinterpreted and so on. And these were the educated ones. Whatever\u2026\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  First of all, it is not a sexual revolution but a sex revolution;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  1. One must know what the sex revolution is about. It is not just about free sex, but something far beyond that. It stands for the inviolability of intimate life. No one can intrude in your intimate life, just like no one can question your loss of virginity prior to marriage, no one can disseminate videos of intimate nature of you and most importantly no one has a right to punish you for any of these. This is what the sex revolution is about.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The sex revolution isn\u2019t just about having sex anywhere or everywhere. It is a long process that involves using the \u201cf\u201d word in Azerbaijani freely, being able to independently develop sex marketing, and protect all of the freedoms mentioned above. I would like to provide an additional explanation here. My inclusion of marketing here is because conservatism is the main reason behind the massive gap in creativity of the \u201chalal\u201d chicken or \u201chalal\u201d sausage advertisements that permeate our daily lives. But none of these can explain what I mean unless you watch \u201cGeneration P\u201d.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  2. One group claims that the sex revolution will lead to HIV\/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. But this is wrong, because the sex revolution is also about not feeling ashamed when going to buy condoms at the local pharmacy. Two years ago, police detained one of our activists, Araz. When they found a condom in his pocket they asked what it was for. Araz naturally said it was for sex. Police told him to be ashamed of himself! Yes, the sex revolution is also to prevent incidents like that.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  3. What about the question of what would happen to the dudes in \u201cblack jackets\u201d if the sex revolution were to happen? There is only one answer to that; they too are going to become normal human beings. There is no other way. Take for instance Diyarbakir, a conservative town in Turkey. If you try walking there in a mini skirt, you risk being killed. But if you take men from Diyarbakir and bring them to Bodrum (one of the holiday resorts in Turkey on the Aegean coast) they will see so many of girls in bikinis or naked that they would finally change. The longer they stay there, the more human they will become. They won\u2019t attack anyone.\u00a0 In addition to this, and as I mentioned earlier, at the basis of every culture there is political culture. Political culture influences people\u2019s views on the culture of personal life. If there is one thing in this country that is holding back the sex revolution, it is the poverty of political culture.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  4. You shouldn\u2019t imagine thousands of people having sex on the streets just simply because the word \u201crevolution\u201d features in \u201csex revolution\u201d. 99% of the time, the sex revolution actually takes place inside the people\u2019s heads. You don\u2019t have to go on the streets and yell, \u201cSex, oh yeah!\u201d for this to happen.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  And lastly: this is not something we can prevent. Some 30% of sexual revolution has already taken place in this country. Even if you cannot see this change, it is what it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sex revolution isn\u2019t just about having sex&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":19280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-167109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-op-ed","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is the point of the sex revolution?!
