What are the downsides of sexual liberation?

Asked by Demosthenes (15217points) September 11th, 2022

In what ways has sexual liberation harmed society? What do you think is responsible for the increase in “incel violence”? Is the ubiquity of porn irreversibly harming sexual dynamics between men and women? Do you think hookup culture harms women more than it does men (does “friends with benefits” always end up hurting at least one of the people in the arrangement)?

These are just some question ideas. I am intending for this to be a broad discussion. No need to answer all of what I posted above. But I was inspired to ask this by some essays I’ve recently read by feminists grappling with the negative aspects of sexual liberation and the inadequacy of “consent” being the only measure of healthy and acceptable sexuality.
