TRANSCIENCE

“Her body had been damaged beyond repair. Her buttocks and breasts were no more than sacks of emaciated flesh, shrunken, flabby, and pendulous. She could no longer—she could never again—be considered an object of desire.” — Michel Houellebecq

Over the past generations the separation between sex and reproduction have been increased. Where it started with “sex without reproduction” we are now faced with the growing possibilities of “reproduction without sex”. Sex becomes entertainment based on seduction and erotics, pleasure is the new norm. The definition of sexuality is often being mixed up with sexiness, which reduces the focus exclusively to the appearance the body. Physical beauty became the highest good and is connected with a deep fascination for young bodies. Youth is superior to adulthood. By polishing our presence we try to evade our devolution. But life damages the human body and the sooner or later we have to face our own morality.
