13. I'm not one of the smart people here, but I wonder if there's
a political connection or only a psychological one.
Sex is about control -- controlling urges, and controlling others so you can control your urges. People who are sexually insecure might be drawn to authoritarianism because it makes them feel safer. If any DUers moonlight as dominatrices/dominators they might have some insight here.
Women MUST cover their ankles so I don't LOSE CONTROL OF MYSELF!!
But the connection between preoccupation with others' sexuality and with sex as "sin" (which I just never really understood) and fascism is undeniable.
There was an interesting thread here yesterday that pointed out that there's an element of "I can't get me any, so I don't want you getting any either" going on with right-wingers, too.
