interesting angle, obvious in hindsight. i wonder if a medicinal approach to sex can help relax the US's puritanical views, similar to marijuana, and help open the doorway to recreational use.
this feels very dangerous though. people are fundamentally animals and sex is tightly interwoven with evolutionary biology in a way that drugs are not. decoupling sex from social interaction may be axiomatically wrong in the same way that removing rewards for performance is axiomatically wrong - people are just wired that way. no one wants to be CEO of an international company and get paid the same amount as an 18 year old data entry assistant. i think there is a similar pressure regarding mate selection and sex that exists regardless of culture.
- ClumsyPilot 6y ago"rewards for performance is axiomatically wrong" I do not find that self evident, our society does not resemble a meritocracy. But lets accept the premice - what plausible way is there for this "very dangerous' to manifest? We've had arranged marriages too, do they cause disaster?
