>Just like unrestrained economic liberalism, and for similar reasons, sexual liberalism produces phenomena of absolute pauperization. Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never. Some make love with dozens of women, others with none. It’s what’s known as ‘the law of the market’Is this true?
Houellebecq is what happens when an ideal and romantic youth undergoes his metaphorical death and manages to make it out the other end without doing equivalent harm to the body.
This was always the case and didn’t start with sexual liberalism
>Is this true?Read Clouscard. That's where Houellebecq shamelessly ripped it off from (and got away with it because nobody knows wtf a Clouscard is). Start with Le Capitalisme de la séduction if you can read French.
