The picture I was trying to paint is much more radical than that. There are emergent phenomenon that come from less judgement and more openness that I would argue can subvert the paradigm you're describing. But yeah, part of the idea is that if we remove the endless barriers we have embraced that deny us sex and intimacy, we will all have access to more sex and intimacy. We may also find that we want more and different kinds of sex and intimacy, which may in many cases lead to a reduced demand for straight sex.
- AmericanChopper 5y agoThe radical-ness of this doesn’t stem from the moral implications, it stems from how reality-denying it is. Young people have discarded the taboo of sexual promiscuity for at least a few generations already. But you need more from relationships than just sex, which is why we have the concept of “settling down” eventually to have a long-term, committed partnership. Sexual compulsions are very influential, but people almost universally find relationships revolving primarily around sex to be completely unfulfilling (eventually).
