Let's talk for a moment about the erotic. We're adults here on AU, right?
Freedom™ is hookup apps, whores, sex parties, gender bending, kink, partner swapping, threesomes, polyfookery, etc… but in reality you end up waking up alone nearly all the time and always feel under-satiated and are "on the prowl". STDs, bad encounters, and even sexual violence abound.
Freedom is monogamy with abundance. Your search costs are zero once located. You know every hot or cold zone of your partner and they know yours. It is generous and given easily. You never have anxiety about forced abstinence. STDs are a non-issue. There's no complexity, confusion, or conflict between competing parties.
Intimate bonds are the bedrock of society. A "Great Awakening" has to touch on this area, but I see few writing about it in the geopolitical context. A lot of us have gone down the Freedom™ route offered by [them]… and got hurt in many ways. Is difficult stuff to talk about; judgemental pride abounds.
The way is to do everything with full Love.
I forget what book it was, but the story was about a future where humans had evolved to do everything with their whole hearts. There was no jealousy because everyone knew everyone else was acting with the purest real intentions. Casual or lusty sex would be as based as rape in this mindstate. People evolved so much that there were not even impulses to control anymore.
lol I can't remember. I haven't read that one so I don't think so. Its what makes the most sense to me too.
