Most people who are against restrictions for non-violent sexual conduct
tend to be against strong governments. This is based on their
assumption that the stronger a government, the more likely it is to interfere
with sexual liberty.
However, we must not forget that a strong government does not per se
restrict sexual freedom. It simply depends on whether the strong
government is committed to implement for a country’s population optimal
personal freedom, including sexual freedom, or whether a strong government is
reactionary in this context.
However, weak government will in the long run rather promote a sexual
restrictive lifestyle for a country’s population, even if no laws on
sexual conduct are imposed.
The reason is that in any society that is governed by a weak
government, violent individuals and groups will likely rise in influence.
Therefore, the human environment will become more and more dangerous.
However, social danger tends to force people into protective capsules,
such as families. Especially women will, in a generally dangerous
society, emphasize monogamous relationships.
On the other hand, the safer a society, the less pressure is on the
individual to form strong unions. Thus, societies with a high degree of
general safety have an intrinsic quality which favors sexual freedom.
Obviously, the strong government ought to be formed by progressive
forces, committed to allow the members of a society optimal personal, and
optimal sexual freedom.
A weak government would be preferable over a strong government by
religious reactionaries, as they would use a government’s strength to impose
anti-sexual rules.
