What would be a Marxist critique of sex and human sexuality?

Sexual lust is a stain on civilization. It destroys communities, promotes selfishness and furthers the idea that human beings are worthy only insofar as they provide pleasure or “usefulness” to the other. One can clearly see the link between the normalization of sexual lust and eugenics for this reason. It also causes social instability and moral decay.

Non-sexual love is about what you give to the other person, lust is about what you mindlessly take from the other person.

So far, the only philosophers and thinkers I’ve seen who thoroughly critique human sexuality are either ancient and medieval thinkers, or modern-day right-wingers who rely on said ancient/medieval critiques. Where are all the Marxist critique of sexual lust and what a massively destructive force it is? Marxism needs to promote the idea sex is solely for the act of procreation and mutual pleasure between monogamous partners. It is because our modern society is ruled by lust that we see vast amounts of moral decay. Moral relativism is everywhere. Secularism and capitalism have destroyed any sense of virtue. Desire to take from others sexually has made these things almost impossible to fight against.

Marxism must critique sexuality and promote sexual abstinence and purity.

Show this to Paul Kengor (huge modern-day Marxism critic) and he will tell you Marxism itself promotes sexual lust.

Sorry man, these are all right wing talking points. You can't get a Marxist to say that society is degenerate without playing the card of "this is oppressive to a minority group." Otherwise, chuds will agree. If you say anything bad about lust then you are going against "if it feels good, do it." And of course, homosexuality has nothing to do with procreation and everything to do with lust.

You CAN however find feminists who are also marxists insist that the MALE sex drive exclusively is the cause of all evil, or making weird alegories like "the snake that tempted eve and caused the fall was a penis," without a sense of irony.

I agree that secularism and capitalism destroyed virtue. And I'm a chud!

Lust is not bad per se and you can see it celebrated in song of Solomon, and allegedly, the Quoran as well. Semen retention won't give you special powers. Just like anger, lust shouldn't control you. Only fools let it! But to deny your lust completely is to live a very very miserable life: it can be a wonderful blessing, (Amen) I thank God every day for thick women. My lust I can occasionally formulate into a muse to produce heart rending works of art (Deviantart abominations and bad fan fics, but thats a problem from my lack of talent).

Michel Clouscard had a critical view of sex where he argued that "sexual liberation" did not liberate the working class and instead, it created a lucrative new market for light industries (fashion, leisure, pornography, erotic gadgets). Capitalism shifted from an authoritarian/repressive model to a permissive one, using the illusion of sexual freedom to mask ongoing economic exploitation. Kind of a similar view as the feminist thinker Andrea Dworkin, who was also quite sex negative. One would also note how most marxist-leninist societies of the 20th century like the soviet union and communist china were certainly not sex positive nor concerned with sexual liberation at all like the modern day western californian "leftist" is. most modern day american leftist critiques of right wing conservatives views on sex would resemble very close to what the soviets had where sex was a means of procreation and that sex liberation politics was viewed as a perverted petit bourgouis pastime.

rainbow capitalist subversion, as usual. it was the end goal of mccarthyism to completely neuter the working class by associating strange 18-19th century elite bourgeois perversion with socialism/communism.

American leftism has always been obsessed with sex going all the way back to Ezra Heywood and Robert Owen.

Obviously access to sex and intimacy needs to be expanded so that even the sex-poor can enjoy it.

This. Pink and fag capitalism is pure cancer, and minus a giant war to coward women and queers back into their place, there is no undoing this toxic Pandoras box.

Lol. Also notice you didn’t issue preemptive defense about his friend Epstein and all the other pedos he’s so afraid would get hurt he delayed, denigrated and censored the files.

Moralistic bullshit.

Why would a Marxist care about those two particular philosophers?

Also, you can stop Epstein-like shit from happening in the future by dismantling patriarchal capitalism. You literally don't need philosophy.

The Dialectic of Sex, Shulamith Firestone
argued for the abolition of the sex distinction and replacement of pregnancy with artificial wombs
>Marxism needs to promote the idea sex is solely for the act of procreation and mutual pleasure between monogamous partners
i don't see how you get monogamy out of marxist premises, and once you're willing to allow mutual pleasure as a basis for sex without monogamy, your whole case kind of collapses.

Faggot.
