Worm 1

Spoiler: ShowHide

Do you think we should $pend thousands on our pets? (and yes, that's how they asked it replacing S with $ in spend)

This Worm is more talking about overspending on outfits and fancy food, pet hotels and the like, treating our pets (that means any animal) like another member of the family, on the Current Affairs program Today Tonight on another channel like a couple of weeks ago they was talking about how pet owners want to receive carers leave if their pet is sick like how a parent would receive carers leave if their child was sick

Worm 2

Do you think the Libido is being sent back to the Dark Ages thanks to the rise of "Mummy Porn"

This one is talking about 50 Shades of Gray mind you, please for the love or what ever phantom you worship not take the question out of context

No, i'm not against treating pets like their family but i am against the reckless overspending on them, it's one thing to pay someone to watch your pet for a month while your overseas but it's another to pay for 5 star luxury for them or buying costumes for them (unless your Cosplaying as Kakashi from Naruto and you dress up your dog to look like Paku or something similar, if you google search, there is a costume that makes a dog look like Yoda).

One question that was brought up was if your pet needed a hip replacement that cost $5,000 then wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy another pet, to this i say (and i agree with the woman who answered this on the show) you should pay the $5,000 only if it improves the quality of life, if the pet will still suffer even after it then you will show more love putting the pet down to end their suffering

.................................i have no opinion cause i don't get what it's about, i know 50 Shades of Gray is Erotica targeted at women but i thought it was reverse Twilight here the woman wants to be dominated by a vampire but they said it's some rich guy so i and now completely confused and in all honestly anything to do with sex is the furtherest thing from my mind, hell, i think more about weather my dreams are an alternate reality than sex

Usually in western countries pets get treated much better than e.g. in Eastern Europe. I like animals myself, but there are boundaries. I do consider our pets as part of the family, but not as a human part. Getting a career leave for a sick pet is too much. Even though they are part of our family, they are not our children and this is an important distinction. If my pet was sick and we had to visit the vet, I'd take one day off (and only one day) from my own holidays to do that, I'm not expecting the government to provide me free days, that's absurd.

The same goes for $pending money on them. I have no problem giving a pet an ok life, but just like a human being, it's not going to be happy if I spoil it.

Our society become more and more broken as time goes on. Due to certain psychological/sociological problems (including abuse as a child), people sometimes fixate their sexuality on certain objects which is known as developing a fetish. Obviously something that turns us on doesn't have to be of sexual nature at all. IMO this is a problem if it eliminates normal sexuality or a person can't feel aroused anymore during normal intercourse. It's been shown that even "normal porn" can have negative effects on potency and arousal as the subconscious is fed an unrealistic image (LITERALLY image) of how intercourse is supposed to so when confronted with the real thing, due to the developed tolerance there can be problems with arousal. To answer the question, I have no idea where the human libido is going. All I can say is that sex is becoming omnipresent in our lives, but not in a good way as it is presented as something worthy and important and how you can't get sex unless you do something for it (just take a look at any Hip Hop music video with the half-naked women jumping around, promoting the twisted idea that women are somehow attracted to money and cars instead of men and how their worth in society seems to be based only on how sexy they are).

I just want to add that I'm not completely sure whether I understood your question.
