[lbo-talk] Clash of Sexual Civilizations

[BklynMagus]

> Sexual happiness is essential to human liberation.  
Personal rights and freedoms concerning sexuality, 
however, may be achieved in other ways than one based 
on the idea of sexual orientations, though certainly 
the one based on that idea is the hegemonic one, 
especially in the global North, and I believe our sexual 
future is still open.

What I have always found interesting is that the creation 
of sexual orientations often results from the criminalizing 
of specific sexual acts.

If a person find sexual hapiness through the adoption of the 
idea of sexual orientation -- great.  It is one way, but not 
the only way.  Problems arise when this or any other way is 
interfered with by the state or other societal powers.
