the flaws of attraction

i believe that given the right circumstances, we could very possibly be attracted to, and develop feelings for anyone. human attraction has always been a very abstract and volatile thing, that's why we see people going for kids, animals, their own family members, inanimate objects and such.

the thing is that historically, all these have been governed by society, be it through laws, religion, or your mother spanking your ass. however, societal norms are so lax these days that it's come to a stage where almost everything is free-for-all, and soon we too start taking to the new parameters.

now that we're entering the free-for-all era, there's much lesser control, so what's gonna stop you from forging and intimate relationship with your pet dog?

that's why i think now more than ever, the impetus of control should come from the individual. set your limits and stick to them. too young? too inhuman? strike he/she/it off your list of potential partners. start now before it's too late.
