One aspect of the destruction of civilization that is often overlooked is sexuality. We all know that society necessitates an ownership of our genitals. What we do, how we feel, and how express our desire is dictated by the culture that we live in. But is sexuality designed to be dictated by norms? More specifically, are we supposed to express our sexuality in the same way as our neighbors?
Dismantling civilzation means that we must find a way t0 exist in an equal and beautiful paradigm. We know that the way we live now lends itself to domination, patriarchy, and capitalism. We need to learn how to be explicitly free and unequivocally loving. Everyone has a different method of loving, and the problem is that no one talks about it. The whole concept of a “norm” means that there is a right way, a wrong way, and everything in between.
What would happen if there was no norm? If we decided for ourselves how we would love each other and make love to each other? Of course we do what we want now, regardless of what others think, but it is very secretive and private. Perhaps there is a medium in which we could decide that no matter what someone chooses as sexuality, it is still wonderful and perfect. We are still very far away from that now. Those who support it are labeled “liberals” while those that oppose it are labeled “conservatives.” Why does there have to be a whole theology of thought behind these two views? And more importantly, why does there have to be only two views? Why can’t there be one thousand trickling into a digestible format known as a dichotomy?
