My comment wasn't directed at you specifically; your comment just called up a thought I've had a lot regarding the culture in general. Our TV, books, and movies are rabidly obsessed at this point with sexual fantasy. The blending of porn and mainstream culture is beyond obvious. At the same time we have a generation entering adulthood who report way decreased interest in sex. I've commented on this before; this just brought up the thought again. I agree with the people who say this looks like the end of the Roman Empire. It appears that once a society enters the decadent phase, this hyper-sexualization is part of the program. Not really surprising, I suppose, but sad to watch. Also, please note that I point this out from my own experience. I believe what I believe only after having tried the alternative for a few years. It took being an asshole to make me see that being an asshole isn't really fun and that I prefer and find it more fun treating people as whole persons rather than as objects.
