As Darth Rader said to Luke Skywalker, “Why don’t you come over to the dark side?

In this blog, I will be taking you to the dark side of Hollywood and show how television and movies had changed. In the ’50’s and ’60’s marriage couples slept in separate bed.

According to most television romantic comedies and dramas today, an unmarried couple sleeping together is a natural step in the growth of the relationship. The story line creates a strong emotional connection between the viewers and the characters, so we’re happy for the lovers when they finally get physically intimate. In most cases, the addition of sex to the relationship is depicted as a step forward. It doesn’t create more anxiety and complications for the characters; it’s normal, expected, and problem free.

The goal of dating should be friendship first. Then, when you’ve found your soul mate, comes marriage, and then sex. But this progression is often sabotaged for a few moments of pleasures. And unlike in television shows or in the movies, there are often long term consequences that come with this short term pleasures in real life. According with to George Bernard Shaw, “Not only are our adolescents not taught the physiology of sex, but they are never warned that the strongest sexual attraction may exist between persons so incompatible in tastes and capacities that they could not endure or take things to the next level.

The art of delayed gratification, especially in the area of sexual purity is well worth learning.

Sex is powerful and the depth of such intimacy can have a negative impact on a relationship if it happens too soon and before a permanent commitment. A relationship that might otherwise grow from a friendship into romance and then into marriage is often a commitment. Sex before marriage moves an act of commitment. The result is distorted.

According to 1 Corinthians 7:2, “Because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife,and each woman should have her own husband.” Now that is not the case according to Hollywood standard and today’s standard. Most people finds compatibility is through sexual gratification.

It all came about because of the sexual revolution of the ’60’s and ’70’s. When I was born in 1965, it was almost frowned upon for having a child out of wedlock. The church, especially the Catholic would consider a child born out of wedlock as being sin infested.

Now days though, it has become the norm. When I was in school, I had 3 of my classmates who gotten pregnant as teenager. One remained single and the other 2 married.

When my mother was pregnant with me, she did what wasn’t acceptable during that time, she gave birth to me and never married my real father. At the same time, 1972, my older step brother gotten his girlfriend pregnant and ended up marrying her because of what dad told him to do.

In the ’70’s on the TV shows, “Love Boat,” when a couple would entered their room, the door was closed and the viewers were never to see them getting it on. If the “Love Boat”was made today, that wouldn’t be the case.

Things that is acceptable today was frowned upon years ago on television and the movies. I mentioned the “Love Boat.” When Elvis performed on the “Ed Sullivan Show,” they only shown his top half because it was inappropriate to show Elvis shaking his waist on television. It was considered inappropriate for Barbara Eden to show her belly button on “I Dream of Jeannie.” They called “Charlie’s Angels” jiggly TV. On “The Dukes of Hazard,” the daisy duke shorts that was worn by Catherine Bach was frown upon. Even when it came to daytime soap operas, they left more to the imagination by showing less of the characters actually having sex. Now days, you see them jumping into bed all the time on TV and the movies.

It’s more normal now days and it didn’t matter if they are single and straight or if they are gay. Years ago, if any Hollywood stars were gay, they had to keep their sexuality a secret or be done in Hollywood.

At one time sex was considered to be dirty and should be kept in the household between a marriage couple. Now days, sex is more open.

What was kept behind closed doors were kept behind closed doors; even sexual abuse was taboo and kept a secret for years. When I was molested, I didn’t have anyone I could talked about it.

Now days being sexual and talking about sex is prevalent in our everyday conversations. It’s become the norm. You see it everywhere. Like in the video for the song, “Take Me to Church,” by Hozier; the video is dark. I like that song, but according to some so-called self-righteous Christians, they would tell me that it’s inappropriate to watch.

If you listen to some conversations, you would wondered where they heard all that sexual stuff.

Hollywood had slipped into the dark side. Many Hollywood stars, producers, directors, and casting directors have been link with Jefferey Epstein and P. Diddy. I could go more into that but that is another blog, exposing Hollywood.

There is no good wholesome television shows and movies being made these days. When it comes to movies and television, it seems Hollywood had went to the dark side. And not just with sex but also with this Woke stuff. Our Christian values went out the window in Hollywood.

It’s time for a reckoning of Hollywood dark side behavior. The new Catholic Pope, Pope Leo even recommend it as well. What do you think? Is it time for Hollywood and America to come back to the light after being in the dark side all this time? Are you dabbling in the dark side? It’s time to come to the light. There’s more to a relationship than sexual gratification. Relationships is not only about sex, it’s about getting to know a person on a one-to-one basis. Even I’m guilty of going to the dark side,so forgive me. I won’t go into that detail either because I think you get the message.

It’s time to leave the dark side behind and enter the light!!
