There is no better time in the history of civilization to live and that includes the freedom of sexual relationships. You can use the internet to find any type of group interested in exactly what you are, from the most wholesome religious dating to the most open, kink-positive open-relationship group-house lifestyle you can imagine. And these more-less exist in every moderately-sized city in the west, or some form of it. And at parties if people start discussing this stuff no one cares from a judgemental aspect, it’s more like “oh wow cool”. I can’t buy this article whatsoever except there exists a subset of social conservatives at elite colleges who care about abstinence and dressing like puritans. Good for them!
- alecbz 5y agoI think freedom to choose per se is generally good, but no guidance about how to choose isn't necessarily: nudges[0] can be very important. Freedom to eat whatever you want is fine, maybe good, but not having guidance on what kinds of food to eat can be bad. We don't always know what's going to make us happy in the long term, especially e.g. with things that involve trading off immediate pain for deferred benefit (exercising, dieting).
