The social problem is that we haven't come up with any alternative models. Our culture hasn't developed an ars erotica. Think, for example, of conditions in India or in Japanese culture and of how the erotic has been cultivated there. They're not as clinical and rabbit-like as we are.

Fantasies have to remain dirty. Cleanliness, scrupulousness and rationality are poison for eroticism.

The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century. The female sex was historically sexualized and required to have orgasms for the first time. Sexual "deviants," particularly homosexuals, achieved partial emancipation.

Some 95 percent of all sexual contact still occurs in permanent relationships. That's an impressive number.

Exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.

There are pedosexuals who, even if the court forces them to go into treatment, do not pursue it or cannot pursue it.

I have the utmost respect for people who are asexual. I didn't believe that they existed at first. But they do exist, and their numbers are growing.
