Sex and the Modern Man

Let’s deal with some societal archetypes in our world today. While women-chasing predators are labeled as players and sexually irresponsible, the modern man who is worth his salt is meant to engage in sex only several times a year with a woman to whom he is almost subservient.

Well, that is a far cry from the sexual archetypes of the past.

Men were once encouraged to channel, not suppress, their naturally sexual and aggressive strengths into acts of fighting, bravery, protection, production, and many other types of physically enduring and emotionally stabilizing activities. While we have the modern conveniences of today, these things are not necessary. Creativity and nurturing and traditional female archetypes are pushed onto the modern man, attempting to redefine the masculine nature. Of course, manipulation of any sort is ineffective against raw, primal energy, and both men and women have suffered from the current archetype of the modern man. When employees in a firm or business attempt to reestablish their own primal energy in various ways, the attempts themselves can be destructive when they do not fulfill their purpose. For example, when an employee feels TOO subservient to their boss, they may try to regain control over their environment by lashing out. Of course, this is inappropriate professional behavior, and there must be a system in place which prevents the next step in aggression or in self denial, which in many cases entails drugs abuse or alcohol abuse while on the jobsite.

Workplace drug testing is perfect for this occasion. Employees feel more in control of their workplace, managers and executives are able to keep a discerning eye on things without being too controlling, and order is established through actual performance and reputation, rather than perceived workplace politics.

Onsite drug and alcohol screening enables businesses to retain some of this primal energy. This helps their employees without demoralizing them through a series of verbal control mechanisms. The idea that control is the most important thing is ludicrous. Management must help people to work together and to form cohesive teams. Using drug & alcohol testing as a tool can help this to be accomplished.
