This is the society that Indian “progressives” and McDesis want us to copy.
They see some Hollywood dramas and think that’s what life in America is and it’d be so cool to copy.

The attack on and devaluing of men as an important part of the family unit also has real implications.
“Free sex” means the father has less incentive to stick around. Children from fatherless households are the most at risk.

I don’t think we can reverse the sexual revolution happening in India; the important thing is to be aware that the “progressive” pipe-dream often leads to a nightmare society and personal situations.
This way one can be balanced and sensible about one’s own life choices.

India has traditionally been a sexually open society.
We were producing well-regarded erotic poetry and sex guides up until the 16th century.
The repression is Victorian/Christian.
But in India also, kama was balanced by dharma and the importance of family. The West is lost.

This is not true. “Convent-educated” researchers found village women far more open talking about sexuality than urban women were 25 years ago.
For urban India it’s a copycat graft from the West.
We’ll experiment and find our own way as long as we don’t hold the West as a model.

Have you read the Kamasutra? Or Ratimanjari? Ratirahasya? Were we lacking in conversation about sexual pleasure?
Ever seen Hindu temple sculptures?
You push Victorian morality as “Hindu culture.” And you don’t even understand the degree of Christian sexual repression.

Lol. Adi Shankracharya himself gets challenged for his knowledge of Kama in the greatest scholarly debate and you call it not important?
@GarudaPrakashan is bringing out a book on Shankara's treatise on Kama.
All 4 purusharthas have been important.

Sexual "openness" does not mean promiscuity.
It means sex was not something to be ashamed of or "vulgar." It was normal and natural, something that was a subject of study, science and skill.
Sexuality was not shameful or unnatural unlike how Christianity viewed it as "sinful."
