Civilization constrains Eros

The fuck n' suck is Sadean. You might call it Sade Arabia given its transvaluation of values and smashing of present bourgeois norms. But its more modern influence is late Freudian and how Freudians built on Freud.

"In Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud theorized the fundamental tensions between civilization and the individual; his theory is grounded in the notion that humans have certain characteristic instincts that are immutable.[4] The primary tension originates from an individual attempting to find instinctive freedom, and civilization's contrary demand for conformity and repression of instincts. Freud states that when any situation that is desired by the pleasure principle is prolonged, it creates a feeling of mild resentment as it clashes with the reality principle.

"Primitive instincts—for example, the desire to kill and the insatiable craving for sexual gratification—are harmful to the collective wellbeing of a human community."

Which is to say Freud saw this repression of Eros, or sexual freedom, as necessary. The difference for Freudians like Norman O. Brown, Wilhelm Reich, and to a lesser extent Marcuse, was that they saw this repression as harmful and its overthrow as likely.

Irving Kristol pretty much summed up this thinking:

"It is true that, in our time, some quite brilliant minds have come to the conclusion that a reversion to infantile sexuality is the ultimate mission and secret destiny of the human race."

AI rundowns on Sade, Brown, Marcuse, and Reich pertaining to this:
