PHIL 2170 Lecture Notes - Zoophilia, Interpersonal Communication, Platitude
Document Summary
Problems with nagle because nagle has wrapped himself in liberal sexual mythology. Liberal sexual mythology: the aim of sex is enjoyment this is a reaction against former doctrines (i. e. christian doctrine); against constraints of what we"re able to do. Thinking of sex as pleasure is opening up the doors" adopted new mythology to pass off old mythology. Orgasm has taken over sex becomes the goal/aim. Anti-personal": sex is a private activity holdover from traditional beliefs. Comes out from attitude of sex as enjoyment: any sex will do platitudes; mistakes that nagle doesn"t get around to explaining where the arousal goes. Solomon: lack of content in theory of sexuality; no sex". You can"t have a theory of sex without talking what romeo and juliet do after the bar. We enjoy being sexually satisfied; we are not satisfied by our enjoyment: enjoyment is not satisfaction; conflated satisfaction with enjoyment, pleasure is not the end of sexual desire; not distinctly human end (solomon)
