Prudeness? You have no idea what you're talking about. This accusation of "prudeness" is precisely the kind of insult predatory men hurled at women during the '60s and '70s to try to coerce women into bed. "What are you, a prude? A square?" It is actually libertinism that has bred the widespread sexual dysfunction that we are seeing. Pornography is utterly deranging, and in such an insidious way, the poor schmuck doesn't even know how damaged and warped he's become, how enslaved. Its production and distribution at the very least should be criminalized, and taboos that shame and stigmatize its consumption should be revived and promoted in the media. Alas, corrupt governments back pornography because of its utility in controlling the populace.

It is actually libertinism that has bred the widespread sexual dysfunction that we are seeing. We can have a consent culture and healthy and open sex lives. For example swinger clubs and polyamory are becoming more common again despite explicit consent being totally normal these days. But the other side society of seems to frown more and more on such things. And I'm not accusing an individual of anything. Just describing society as a whole. In particular people are becoming more and more concerned about what other adults consensually do in the bedroom again. Even though it's none of their business. Like transphobia, homophobia, porn.. 10 years ago people wouldn't pass judgment on those things. > Alas, corrupt governments back pornography because of its utility in controlling the populace. So instead of this you advocate... controlling the populace using legal, media and social pressure?: > Its production and distribution at the very least should be criminalized, and taboos that shame and stigmatize its consumption should be revived and promoted in the media. I'm sure you know that telling people what to think isn't going to work.
