Our Sexually Deranged Culture

Exhibit A: The Economist does a big story on how abortion has selectively killed millions of girls in China. Conclusion: abortion should be safe and legal. Oh, and “rare” it adds a sop to their blood-stained consciences. In other news, Jack Daniels tells Alcoholics Anonymous that they should be allowed to offer unlimited free booze at their meetings, and that they trust that attendees will be able to moderate their intake and make drunkeness “rare”.

Exhibit B: Slate columnist identifies a shame cycle of casual sex but assures us scientists have proved casual sex has no negative effects. Surely, science will back up our cultural demand for cost-free sex free of commitment and the burden of children? Reality *must* conform to the insane and disordered human will!!!

Exhibit C: Problem: AIDS. Solution: Ignore the fact that chastity and marital fidelity guarantee AIDS will not be a problem and instead promote the old technocratic notion that AIDS can be stopped by a bit of latex with a sizable failure rate even form sperm cells what are thousands of times bigger than an AIDS virus. Ignore also that no doctor in the world would have sex with an infected person using a condom anymore than he would play Russian Roulette with three bullet in the gun. Our derangement about sex is something we are willing to kill and die for.

Exhibit D: Show me a culture that despises virginity, and I will show you a culture that despises children by manufacturing condoms for 12 year olds. That would be, you know, the same culture that is shocked–shocked, I tell you–about priests having sex with children. Apparently, it’s A OK to encourage those same children to have sex with each other and (if they feel it’s right for themselves) with priests.

The de rigeur response to this is: “But the priest forced himself on the child!” Note what is not being addressed: “And if the priest does not force himself? If is mutually consensual, as in the case of Mary Kay LeTourneau? What then?” The sort of mentality that shoves condoms at a twelve year old has no response. Because the sole criterion of the good for such people is consent without any conception of the common good. The problem is not, for them, that a twelve year old is having sex, but merely that he is having it without his free consent. This is why such people are ultimately going to powerless to argue with the North American Man Boy Love Association and similar perverts and degenerates.

But, since the mission of such a sick culture is ultimately concerned, not with what happens to twelve year old, but with preserving the absolute license to have whatever sexual relations we want, whenever we want, wherever we want, with whoever or whatever we want, the destruction of a few more children’s lives is a small price to pay for feeding our addiction.
