WHAT IS THE FATE OF SEXUALLY PROGRESSIVE SOCIETIES?





We need to hear the voice of history. In "Sex and Culture" (1934) the anthropologist J.D. Unwin found a universal correlation between monogamy and a civilization's "expansive energy." He wrote:

·       "These [sexually progressive] societies lived in different geographical environments; they belonged to different racial stocks; but the history of their marriage customs is the same. In the beginning each society had the same ideas in regard to sexual regulations. Then the same struggles took place; the same sentiments were expressed; the same changes were made; the same results ensued. Each society reduced its sexual opportunity to a minimum and displaying great social energy, flourished greatly. Then it extended its sexual opportunity; its energy decreased, and faded away. The one outstanding feature of the whole story is its unrelieved monotony."

Why isn’t there any present discussion of these possible costs? An adolescent society wants its desires filled immediately and has no ear for any consideration of the costs. It is willfully blind and condemns others who try to open its eyes.

The late author, Aldous Huxley, summarized Unwin's research:

·       "Unwin's conclusions, which are based upon an enormous wealth of carefully sifted evidence, may be summed up as follows…[Sexual permissive societies] displays the least amount of mental and social energy, the productive the most. Investigation shows that the societies exhibiting the least amount of energy are those where pre-nuptial continence is not imposed and where the opportunities for sexual indulgence after marriage are greatest. The cultural condition of a society rises in exact proportion as it imposes pre-nuptial and post-nuptial restraints upon sexual opportunity."

·       "In human records there is no instance of a society retaining its energy after a complete new generation has inherited a tradition which does not insist on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial continence." For Roman, Greek, Sumerian, Moorish, Babylonian, and Anglo-Saxon civilizations, Unwin had several hundred years of history to draw on. He found with no exceptions that these societies flourished during eras that valued sexual fidelity. Inevitably, sexual mores would loosen and the societies would subsequently decline, only to rise again when they returned to more rigid sexual standards." https://www.tremr.com/Duck-Rabbit/sexually-permissive-societies-always-fall-anthropologist-says#.WoCempog4vY.facebook

Three thousand years earlier, the Bible also sounded this warning:

·       He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself. He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away. (Proverbs 6:32-33 ESV)

·       My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. For a prostitute is a deep pit; an adulteress is a narrow well. (Proverbs 23:26-27)

Jesus warned that adultery begins in the heart and eyes:

·       “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:27-28)

Today, anything goes – transgenderism, incest, pedophilia, and polyamory – and anyone who says otherwise suffers scorn. Humanity is in a mad race for perdition.
