Sex and leftism

Hmmmm makes me think. Reminder that if you don't read Houellebecq, you're a liberal
Jace Nelson
what do you recommend from schopenhauer
Andrew Taylor
Can you please elaborate. I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm genuinely interested. This dialectic is so fascinating to me.
Take for instance the growing sex doll market. Sex doll brothels are banned in Texas, and growing calls to ban them else where.
This utterly baffles me on two levels. First, the level of alienation it takes to make love to a female simulacra. It's arguable no less dehumanizing then bonding with a Movie star or watching porn, but to me it's several deviations deeper, but I'll admit I can't put my finger on it.
But why are there such strong calls to ban sex doll brothels? They would obviously weaken actual prostitution markets, and as strong as demand has been, possibly eliminate them. Isn't that what we want as a society?
I hate to say it but it seems like this and sex doll brothel banning and other dialectics is making it plain that men's behavior was being controlled by many interests with the offers of sex.

Probably because most people (even in the west) have bigger problems. Only teen boys think this is THE biggest issue out there today.
Bentley Ortiz
aren't most young people not getting laid in general though?
Jeremiah Long
Always figured it was the left drinking all the soy.
Josiah Adams
the Left is more focused on economics and can explain this with a material analysis of Capitalism as a result of the last half of last century, sexual revolution, commodification of relationships etc.
the """left""" i.e liberals ignore this because it disrupts their fragile world view
Blake Hughes
Couple of points. First the fact that this coincides with the last global crisis which we're still not out of seems like it could be a pretty significant factor, given what we know about the economic opportunities afforded to young people in this period. That seems like the biggest angle of attack from a left perspective, as always. Additionally, I'd imagine that with certain currents of internet culture and certain subcultures arising that make something like virginity more acceptable to discuss, in addition to the fact that some of said subcultures build an identity around it could explain some of the willingless with self-reporting, but I doubt it's more than a couple of percentage points. There are also a bunch of cultural factors arising from the economic ones that we could understand with regards to relations between men and women.
It's strange that they chose adults over 18 to report on, is this because of AoC laws in the US? I'd be interested in how many of these people had any sexual partners whilst they were still teenagers. I'd actually be pretty interested in the methodology for this study more generally. The fact that it has increased by 100% for women and by 180% for men clearly contradicts any possibility of a cohesive right-wing narrative from the "Manosphere" for such a phenomenon, but I'd at least hear what they have to say if there is any serious intellectual work being done on this.
Do you have a good english translation of Houllebecq? I recall the last time I looked I couldn't find one, and I also struggled to find a decent torrent of the Whatever film adaptation with subtitles. If you could help out fam that'd be great.

also, it seems like more women want to /come across/ as sexually active more than ever. just like i'm sure in the past men would also lie about getting laid more than they actually have.
