Argument 2: "Sexuality is actually real and powerful and pretending it's not is ignoring the facts. Haven't you seen a dude in the subway jacking off to a girl in a short skirt? Sexual displays get sexual reactions, and removing the boundary is what oversexualizes things." (cont)

Arg.1 notices that protecting against something increases the potency of the thing we're protecting against (problem is the pushback) Arg.1 notices that failing to protect will unleash the potency of the thing we're protecting against (problem exists is regardless of pushback)

Really, both are probably true - the thing is both inherent *and* created. This feels like it has a lot of similarities to the current discussions around gender, which sometimes says the problem is the divisions we create, and sometimes says the problems are inherent.

As in: Gender isn't real (we create the division) but trans people seem very biologically driven to present as the stereotype of the other gender (reinforcing the division). Your gender is your feelings (we create division) but women need a safe space (reinforcing the division)

Related argument about whether sex should be cheap and plentiful, or whether it should be special and prized. If plentiful, does it make sexual assault more common through casualness? If special, is it made to have too much power and leads to objectifying women?

Your survey on taboos and kinks found that tabooness strongly negatively correlated with hotness. This suggests to me that argument 1 is wrong (complete inversion of the truth).

Also the cultural mores support dignity in us. Re: sexuality, from this man´s standpoint, a woman is much more desirable when she isn´t showing it all 24/7, ie it´s more of a turn on to have to open the nicely wrapped package, prior to receiving the present.

You see it as paranoia, I don´t, although I do understand that many fear sexuality and its strength. Those things you mention above result from a society that respects sexuality, a society that sees good in modesty and virtue....whether right or wrong it´s not about paranoia.
