# Eating And Sex

In ancient Greece, these two were considered almost the same.

So while not denying the pleasure of eating since it is an applause
for life, things like binge eating were considered like sexual
promiscuity. Alexander the great blamed Persians for using a lot
of spices because of that.

This appears in Thoreau's writings too. Because he read a lot of
ancient Greek stuff.



I totally agree with this. But to add, the other way is also true.

People often justify obscure sexual things with "Nothing unethical"
arguments. Those have some points.

But eating fast foods all the time is unhealthy. While it is not
unethical. Similarly I find it totally unhealthy if a person
maniacally watches adult media depicting sex with insects. While
that's not unethical. That's simply not good for health.

I made an extreme example. But it still holds even if it gets mild.



So eating should be more an ethical subject. We should think of it
seriously.

Sex should be more a health subject. Unhealthy things are not good.
Though those are not unethical. While I'm nothing against sex
itself. Sex is not a sin and sex with love is divine.

And eating and sex should be linked again.
