Baby boomers are a sexy generation, everyone knows that – they invented the wheel when it comes to matters of the libido and continue to interest the rest of society with their ‘gray sex revolution’ and their determination to be the oldest swingers in history. Psychological articles observe that baby boomers have turned sexual interests into something that can be freely debated; enjoyed outside of the institution of marriage; used to get what you want.
What was that?! Used to get what you want? How can that be right!? The fact is, though, that some do use sex indiscriminately to attain all kinds of things – material possessions; career advancement; emotional one-upmanship within a relationship. Is it wrong? You decide.
There is a fine line between knowing something is wrong and actually doing it. We all know that using one’s sexual allurements in exchange for money is called prostitution and all our mothers teach us that this is immoral and nice girls (and boys) don’t do it. However, when we are striving for success in our career and we know the boss has a soft spot for us, Mom is not always on hand to say; ‘Don’t you dare do that!’ Or at the very least, ‘Don’t you dare do that without a condom!’
Sexual favors are a persuasive element in just about any context, whether it is the simple act of getting your own way with the boyfriend over how to spend Sunday afternoon or using your sexual influence to turn opinion over how to spend the state security budget: it is all a matter of scale.
Baby boomers and their sexual relationships have the pebble in a pond effect – one small act changes so many events. A woman sleeping with her boss for favors can change the career path of everyone around her; some of them detrimentally: people who deserve advancement don’t get it because Flossie in accounting dropped her drawers for JP on the top floor after the last Christmas party.
Psychological articles take a dim view of the effect sexual compromise can have on the human psyche. Baby boomers indulging in this method of getting what they want all of their lives suddenly suffer emotional fallout when they realize they no longer have the sexual allure they once had and experience all kinds of loss issues when they have to come to terms with attainment through different means.
