      The cultural left and cultural right, intuitively defined, both grapple with sex badly The left's critique of the right's treatment is correct and the right's explicit critique of the left is not, but the left's sexual antithesis is also very wrong

      lets begin with caricatures that I can attribute seamlessly to right and left right: dont show your ankles before you're married left: ackshually god will not smite you for showing your ankles so sex is exactly like buying a cheese or shaving you get the idea

          framed a little more charitably, the left's critique I think should be acceptable even to most on the right: sexual mores are not cardinal values I don't think even tradcaths (but--?) would disagree that, say, wearing lipstick has varied in its moral status over time;

          extrapolate from that and it's hard to defend any particular set of temporogeographically-bound norms at least in deontological terms so settle for virtue or for consequentialism but these are quite plastic, so

          Anyway, I'm not a deontological sexual traditionalist. It's fine if you disagree I'm not proselytizing.

          The problem is that in fact sex is not like buying a cheese along a few important axes, and you can't just toss deontology and immediately start screaming no gods no masters I mean you can and I kind of respect that but it comes with some problems

          In this specific case, the issue is it seems to me that sex is an ekstatic state spelled with a k so that you know im serious about the greek etymology

          The thing that prompted this entire line of thought was that dumb patriarchy museum or whatever it was There was a class of (fourth?) graders going through and in particular one piece was an older fairly obese naked lady just standing there The kids looked really uncomfortable

          and that makes total sense to me, and I was fortunately able to make legible to myself the nature of my objection it's certainly not the exhibit in isolation; I can see it nicely riffing on Celle qui fut la belle heaulmière, frinstance

          Rather--and maybe this isn't quite as crisp as I'd like--the caricatured left position seems to end up in a place like this, in an uncomfortable aughtistic tangle "By our theory sex and nudity should be mundane human behavior, and by God we will act as if they are so"

          For most people, sex is not mundane; it is ecstatic. You can build whatever systems you like to contradict this, and I expect in the long run you will have all the fortune of King Pentheus.

          End. (I have not worked far enough down this line of thought to have anything useful to say about the proper treatment of ecstasy and other Dionysia in a postmodern world.)
