1. Is the West “sexually decadent”? @TAJackson20 describes the West as a “fuck party”, and not in a good way. But Boccaccio, Juvenal, and Chaucer all featured plenty of fucking in their works. I think the West has been a “fuck party” for sometime.

2. I think there’s an idea floating about that in the Victorian and Medieval period people didn’t have sex or were very restrained. This ignores the scores of whores in London and what do you think all those Medieval peasants were up to?

There is a gigantic difference between that kind of behavior being deviant and it being enforced. I've seen people in my country lose jobs for not attending pride parades.

I think there's something to be said for the idea that as sexual deviance is upheld in principle, the actual amount of sex people are having is declining due to atomization and social breakdown.

Yeah, that's generally true outside of homosexuals. It doesn't change the fact that it's the ideal people strive towards emulating, though.

Actual sluts are less common, but everyone aspires to be one and the few who succeed are empowered (to use their own words) by our society's elites.

I wouldn't say everyone aspires to be a slut. But those of us who don't aspire feel alienated.

Yes, because in THIS society WE'RE the deviants.

It's strange. I've seen stats suggesting liberal-minded elites tend to live their own lives according to relatively bourgeois norms, while at the same time the existing power structure exalts the slut.

Not strange, it flows directly from the institutional logic of democracy. Read this:…https://thejournalofneoabsolutism.wordpress.com/2017/05/02/36/

Interestingly, encouraging deviance and the breakdown of sensible sexual norms has greatly elevated the relative position of the top 10% over the working class.
