Another Icon Bites It

Did you notice how the power of sex reared its head again? I am always amazed how much sex costs. The latest is that Tiger Woods sexual activities put $100 million at risk. This is what endorsers pay him annually for his "wholesome" image.

What is really going to happen in this situation? It is simple. Just look at Kobe Bryant for all your answers. Tiger, in due time, will come out of this unscathed. His pursuit of eternal greatness will put him in the place he always occupied. We are a society that forgets.

Tiger's wife might leave and take him to the cleaners. That is his only challenge. While there might be a few sponsors who jump ship in the short term, they will eventually come around. The reason I say this is because as soon as Woods is competing for the title in a Major on Sunday, everyone wants their logo on his hat and shirt. This is worth millions to them (and him).

But why did this all go down? Did it have to happen this way? In our culture it does. Since we do not embrace the power of sex, we are apt to fall victim to it. Instead of keeping it in its proper light, we rather embrace the facade of monogamy. How did that work in this instance? Obviously, Woods, being a healthy, wealthy man, followed his natural instincts and hit up all he could. That is what men have done for centuries.

The fact is that icons will continue to succumb to the same pressures from here on. There is no secret to why it happens. Yet, culture tries to portray this in a way that makes it a moral issue. It is odd that nobody questions Woods eating habits. This is a natural desire he fulfills daily like everyone else. However, when it comes to sex, we are suppose to go against what is natural. Thus, the unnatural becomes common. Of course, it also is impossible to follow.

Sexual Motivation is all about embracing and utilizing this incredible power which resides within us. Tiger Woods showed his ability on and off the golf course. Unfortunately, in this society, there is a price to pay for that. Perhaps it is time to move out of the Victorian Age.
