The thing is that humanity is such a very creative community that brings almost everything to such a pleasant absurdity, which then in a completely unnatural way becomes socially prestigious and socially significant. A significant part of what belongs to the sphere of the spiritual life of mankind, there is precisely the names of such a situation that was brilliantly described in Andersen’s children’s fairy tale «The Naked King». And its essence lies in the fact that a certain group of people (writers, screenwriters, directors, etc.) first create a certain artificial image (little connected with real life), then actively promote it to the masses, make it socially prestigious, convince the whole the world that follows this image is “cool”, turn it into a part of mass culture and after some time no one in society can muster up the courage to shout: “And the king is naked!!! What everyone worships and admires is fictional nonsense!!! Let’s think about what we are trying to build our lives and personal happiness on — on a myth!!!

Sex for the sake of pure sex is a kind of pleasant pastime primarily for the elite of human society, that special group of people who do not need to work hard from morning to evening, who have a lot of free time, a lot of excess energy (due to doing nothing and good nutrition) and can easily find such those who want to engage in intimate games with them, for whom sex with these elite people was either a way to earn a living (wives, hetaeras, slaves, concubines) or a way to establish good personal relationships and using this as a kind of social lever, then improve their social position (lovers, favorites, women who want to get married or male gigolos). But those who did not have free time, did not have unspent energy at work and did not have good nutrition, instead of sex as a means of obtaining pleasure, at all times, right up to the beginning of the 20th century, there were simply intimate relationships; as a means of reproduction of their own kind, the birth of those children who also had to work, work and work again. Accordingly, sex was already initially not just some kind of pleasant pastime, but an occupation primarily socially prestigious, causing universal envy and respect. Throughout almost all of human history, sex has been a right and an option only for the ruling class. And precisely for this reason, those people who did not belong to the elite of society, just sought to increase their prestige, as if coming from the other side — striving for sex the shortest way, striving to have sex just for the sake of sex, thereby achieving respect and envy those who, for one reason or another, could not afford it. and what now: Due to the fact that “just sex” as an opportunity for an ordinary person to receive intimate pleasures at any time has become a truly public occupation, its value in modern society has noticeably decreased. But the desire of men and women is no longer just for sex, but for modern sophisticated «cool» sex has increased enormously. If earlier it was just sex as it was prestigious, now it is not just sex that is prestigious, but all the variety of its varieties, what we now mean by the concept of “modern sex”. And millions of people around the world are now making money not just on sex (it’s pointless, it’s just that sex is now publicly available and therefore not interesting!), but on that extremely frank and varied sex, which, again, many cannot afford. So at the end of the 20th century — the beginning of the 21st century, due to the fact that one of the features of human psychology is a low assessment of what is publicly available and a heightened desire for what is elitist, which is scarce and definitely not enough for everyone, a fairly large number of modern men and women began to strive no longer for actual sex, but for some special sex, sex beyond the usual heterosexual sexual contact, sex that evokes a sweet feeling of touching something forbidden: oral, anal, group sex, sex in front of other people, sadism, masochism, role-playing sex etc. This new aspiration for mankind, as I already said at the beginning of the chapter, was immediately caught by mass media professionals (writers, journalists, directors, screenwriters, producers, showmen), as well as all those who are used to earning precisely on certain human weaknesses and addictions. Thanks to their collective creative efforts, the biological act of simple copulation for the purpose of fertilization has now become an art. As befits the “real” art that I have already mentioned, it has long been cut off not only from its roots, but also from the demands, needs and capabilities of people in general. And the whole problem of modern men and women now lies in the fact that people still do not understand this!
