The End Of Sexual Liberation

The "Sexual-Political Organization (SexPol)" was an organization by Wilhelm Reich that tried to combine sexual liberation and generally topics of sexuality with political activism. This was long before Reich got "mad" and tried to shoot "orgone rays" with metal pipes up into the sky to dissolve thunderclouds - and to wane off UFOs that were threatening peace on earth - in his mind.
With SexPol, he was not alone. Sexual liberation was for a long time part of the radical left and Anarchism. Even in the 19th century they already championed "free love" and other issues. With the 1960s movements, sexual liberation often became the major focus of leftist and countercultural movements.
But I think we totally lost in this regard. Sexual liberation no longer seems possible. There are two reasons for this. Capitalism, especially by using its media (including its porn industry), has seized total control of human sexuality, and controls it in each and every regard. The new, "modern" sexual archetype is the 'rich and powerful (young or old) politically conservative or fascist man'. No longer the rebel, or the anarchist, or the hippie with unwashed hair. But there was also a threat from inside. Did the hippies or the Anarchists really bring sexual liberation to the people? Was there not a divide between noble talk and the real actions (talking about sex and having sex are obviously not the same)? And worse than that. There was for example a pedophile problem in both the American and European post-60s left, that the left decided to close its eyes to. Even Wilhelm Reich himself once stated he dissolved "SexPol" because of sexual misconduct that happened in these organizations.
I feel this in the end totally discredited the sexual liberation movements in the eye of the public.
So, we lost this battle - likely for quite some time. In the political struggle, it might be wiser to focus on other things (that might be more important) than sexuality in the moment. Will this ever be different? Maybe. But maybe not.
