Too much sexuality in dancehall
There was a time when going to a party or dance was a great chance to dance with your girl, or any girl available. You know, the time when you and a woman would just dance to the latest tunes and you watched as she executed the latest moves and wondered why you couldn't do them as well. A time when she would snake her arms around your neck as you pulled her close for a slow dance, whispering naughty things in her ear that would make her blush and giggle.
Back then, there was a mystery and nervous excitement between couples as they danced the night away. All that mystery is now gone as dancing at parties is pretty much like engaging in sexual intercourse with your clothes on. Every picture from a party you see these days has a woman bent over and a man attached to her behind. Is this what dancing has come to? There was a time when it was only during carnival that you would see this kind of thing but now it's everywhere.
With carnival you understood why this was so. It is pretty hard to march to a soca beat and dance face-to-face at the same time. So the woman would face forward and a man would be behind her. This kind of 'dancing' has now become the norm.
It's like there is so much pent-up sexual energy these days in the schools and places of work that people can't wait to get to these parties to find release. I just figure that it would be easier and, in some instances, cheaper to rent a hotel room somewhere and let the stresses out, then come to the party.
Start jabbing
Have we become so mindless, devoid of creativity or having a real sense of what is entertainment that the minute we get to a party we turn our women around and start jabbing at them from behind? These are the same people who get all squeamish about homosexuality. I ask you, what's the difference?
Evolution is natural. Things evolve because the environment demands it, but what does it say about our environment that dancing has evolved into this. I don't want to see what people look like while they're doing the wild and nasty. If that is what I want to see, the Internet is filled with enough porn sites to sate my most carnal desires.
Sense of decency
When I go out, I want to see people dancing again, stepping with the latest dance moves. And, I don't really think I am getting old because this is what I want to see. I just think we have lost all sense of decency, all sense of mystery. Everything is now out in the open. We have lost all sense of what it means to enjoy ourselves, to truly have fun. That is why sometimes for as many couples as you have 'daggering' one another, there are as many fights and confrontations.
Those two things - sexuality and hostility - are what have come to define us. The most tragic thing about it is that I don't even think we realise how far we have fallen from the days when dancing was about what we did on the dance floor and not about imitating what we did in our bedrooms.

I had to get my husband to read this as I was convinced he'd written it. He's been saying that for years, but his sister (much younger) claims that he is just getting old and should leave "young" people to "enjoy" themselves. How could anyone defend such slackness is beyond me.
