The "SEX" economy

It has been some time since I have written anything here. About 2 years to be exact. So much have happen since I written a proper post or note.

Since then, I have got married, my wife is pregnant for 3 moths now and I am on the cusp of leaving my second job since the last time.

But with new adventures, comes new perspectives. For one, I am beginning to see that I am quite different from others. I got to realise that "SEX" is such a huge thing in so many people lives.

I used to have a schoolmate that told me that the most prevalent philosophy is sex. He was a philosophy student. Back then, during my university days, I brushed it off as just to simplistic and trivial. But looking back, I could not be so wrong.

But I have gained do many perspectives this few weeks that I have changed my mind on so many things. Even for those that seem to eschew sex, does not deny it but rather attempts to control it.

People actually alternate between money/work and sex. If they do not seek work/money, they seek sex. It was just a simple dichotomy. If they seek sex, they are actually willing to risk maybe not fortune but enlightenment on many issues. They have singular tunnel vision between the two.

It is my belief that we actually have an economy centred around just sex. For my entire life, I believe that the best man should always win. Even if the best man does not win, it was down to influence,omoney or lust. And not sex. There is a pertinent difference which I will explain later. The invisible hand is not capital/labour but rather sex dividing and allocating resources.

Take for example in my office right now. It has come to attention due to my observation that it is women that are actually doing most if not all the work. It was a big revelation to me.

I have seen male office workers harrassed and taunt female colleagues into doing their work for them. They do not it in a manner which is most despicable and insidous.

Firstly they make suggestive remarks related to size, number and positions and parts of the anantomical system- only have the female colleagues respond in disgust or simply politeness as negative emotions would actually undermine all working relationships. This is in spite of them putting up a poker face when suggesting it. This is not due to innocence but rather to prevent accusations of spewing sexual innuendo when it is plain for all to see.

Another manner as I have mentioned earlier is the difference between lust and sex. Lust means an uncontrollable desire for carnal pleasure. But sex in this case is simply the manner by which we can make each other work for sex or at least the suggestion of it. The man or person who controls the other person through sex is simply the "best"man/ woman or most "talented"person. Quite a prepesterous preposition, I know. But hear me out on this.

In my office, there were two male colleagues that had managed to stay the longest in the company. One was a fellow sales staff, the other was my general manager. Each "controls"each others through sex.

According to their theory, whoever that controls others through their sexuality is by far the most "sexy"person. This means that the person who is controlling and the most "controlled" is the most sexy person and by extension the most "capable"" person. Hence therefore, this will ensure their survival in the company.

Take my fellow sales staff R for example. R is a married foreigner. He is a smooth talker and a devout Muslim. But this does not means that he is a straitjacket. R has exposure in England and based on my conversations with him, he gave me the impression that he was "bad boy"while studying and working in England.

But he married about 6-7 years ago and has a kid whom is 3-4 years old now. He has been at the company for about 7-8 years now.

He is considered "high-class" in the eyes of many. This is because of his ability to control his own sexuality. This makes hime highly desirable and prized. Why is he considered high-class you migh ask?

This is because he does not "over-sexed"himsel when women "presents"themselves. This means he is immune to their "flirtation". By "flirtation", this means that he "under-sexed"himself when the women tries to "flirt"with him. By "flirting", could simply be asking a simple innocent work-related question which can easily "sexualized"in methods earlier.

How does he do it? Being a sales staff requires one to be positive. But he throws negative words to discourage himself and others so as to prevent himself from taking any "risk". This means that by discouraging himself and others, he does not need to "work" for sex and therefore giving the impression that he is control of the situation.

Because of this situational awareness, he is highly prized for his ability to control his sexuality and that of other's. Despite his inept sales ability, he has manage to stay in his job for 7-8 years. Having work there for 1 year, I have not seen him make a single successful sales call and yet he has manage to stay in his job for so long.

Let us talk about our general manager. He is a different ball game altogether but the rules are the same. The concept remains. The idea is to never have anyone control your sexuality such that you would act on their behest. This is regardless of whether of what your job entails- this means that even this prevents you from doing their job, you should never be controlled by others. You will lose your status, once you are "controlled" by others. This is even in spite of all the facts and realities flying in your face- the "show" must carry on even if there is no money to even pitch the stage. You must maintain your status.

The moment you lose your status, you are considered "low"hence you will be "working"and"not "controlling" others.

My general manager ironically does not attempts to control other's sexuality but attempts to overload it instead. He is the most hated among all the female colleagues because he "eats" people. This is meant metaphorically of course.

This means that he will take advantage of the situation so that he does not need to work. He does this by observing the flow of the office environment. When there are activities or movement in the office, he will attempt to overload the sexuality. He does this by frustrating the female workers by being "cheap". This means that he will cut into their conversation and demand "more" work to be done so that he can be "over-sex" them. In fact he always does this to "me". Just when I am at the busiest, he will load me with the most menial or even more work. This seems like a delegation of work if you think about it. But it is not.

This is because he does not delegate the most "difficult" job to the people he considered "high"like R. He asked me to go out in the sun while R is helping to transfer phone calls or pass messages. He will never touch them with "difficult" job but have the grunt work to people who are often "over-sexed" like my female after-sales colleague, XP and myself.

Imagine if there is just an "over-sexed" individual and many "controlling" people, all the work will fall to the "over-sexed" individual and the rewards will fall to the "controlling" people. In this case, who will really "work"" in such a system or organization. And is this called "delegation"

Why am I exclusively talking about men only. This is because women are not complicit in this system. Women do not attempt to over-sexed nor attempt to control sexuality only for the purpose of doing good. If men wants to control, they will not attempt to control, if the men want to be over-sexed by them, they will let them.

This is because they are trying to do good. It is men that attempt to corrupt the mind of the women and manipulating them. This means instead that they are mere bystanders and objects to the men.

How do I know all these? Lets just say that I have a special gift. I am privy to many things that the women have to say among themselves. And I also observed the behaviour of both the women and the men.

Lastly you must be thinking how does my boss or the business owners let such blatant discrimination happen. Lets just say that they are all complicit in this as well. In fact, the whole business and the world of business is built around sex and the movement of it. I will leave this for another post.
