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.
If i may Martin...Intimate bonds are the bedrock of humanity in a procreative sense...but society is a far different animal from a human. And our understanding of ourselves and eachother is muted by not knowing Truth regarding soo much else. Its complicated because we judge or condemn or feel shame or explore or refrain or confused or scared or rejected. Maybe the many miles of books, maps, ancient writings, missing books of the bible etc under the vatican are gonna clear alot of that up regarding sexuality. And without intimate bonds humanity dies. Discussing human needs is what we're doing. Another thing: Many would say being gay is a choice, yet they didnt choose to be straight. So its like God made one straight and the other chose to be gay. Rediculous. Judgement doesnt help either one get along in life. Did God make mistakes?
If Truth sets us free, then why would we care what another human is or isnt. Truth is coming. Those who judge are internally unhappy.
No raping kids!
