In her great post at http://neoneocon.com/2015/02/05/sex-and-the-duggars-the-fundamentalist-christian-vs-the-liberals/ neo-neocon asks:
Does the opposite—engaging in uncommitted sex with perfect “freedom”—invariably make people sexually happy?Great topic. In the Duggar example, are they servants to sexdrive, or does sexdrive serve them . . . and serve their vision for cultivating family in a troubled world? I don’t think the answer is confined to measures of happiness; it needs to extend into endurance measures of marriage and of grandparent, parent, child and sibling relationships.
And the answer needs to evaluate the notion of freedom. I wonder if the compelling need to ridicule the Duggars is a mechanism to keep masking the inner truth about how manipulated and confined we are by our unlimited license for sexual indulgence.
