SEX in Indonesia, taboo to talk but not taboo to do.

Honestly, I am normally not chatty or expressive on social media or in real life. But really, this is too hilarious to not share.

My friend is a “sexual health activist” and gives a big effort on social media and some seminar to spread awareness about sexual health. Encourage people being more comfortable with their own body. Indonesia is desperately in need for awareness about sexual health. In general, the level of ignorance is shocking in all layers of our society. Some people found her topics to be offensive and "immoral". So much so that they are currently trying to report her to the police for whatever reason they can make up.

So far, the best they have come up with is "uuuh she lives with her boy friend, but they are not yet married! arrest them! they do "free sex, and influence people to do it, she is poison. sorry but i find it really funny, amusing and sad at the same time.

Well, to clear things up, premarital sex isn't the same as free sex. premarital sex is sexual activity practiced by people before they are married; free sex or promiscuity is the practice of having casual sex frequently with different partners or being indiscriminate in the choice of sexual partners.

Neither is right or wrong, it all depends on your values and we can't force people to accept our values.

Not only that, they are also trying to get the support of other influencers to get them to rile up their followers against her. Even try to censor her articles.

They've never heard of the Streisand effect.

"The Streisand effect is a phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware that some information is being kept from them, their motivation to access and spread it is increased." Wikipedia

The point here is, don’t follow her if you don't like her content, as simple as that. Just like how I don't follow some content creators because I prefer thoughts-provoking, taboo and misconception-busting content and discussions.

PLEASE, BE SMART! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE HER.
