Little everyday fascisms about sex

In what might be termed a kind of  malaise of civilisation, set free from the shackles of morality, sex is experienced not as the correlate of desire, but as performance, as gymnastics, as hygiene for the organs.

How does one climax, and bring one’s partner to climax?
What is the ideal size of the vagina, the correct length of the penis?
How often. How many partners in a lifetime, in a week, in a single day!?

Here we witness the the hygienisation of sex,

Perhaps it is in  kind of  hygienisation of sex we witness the most insidious expression of what Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze called ‘little everyday fascisms’,

However, athouhg through hygienisation, sex has become less spontaneous ... we don’t all have syphilis.
