Depravity has risen to a new high.
Psychologist Christopher Ryan, the author of Sex at Dawn proposes that human beings are sexual omnivores, designed and entitled to have sex with anyone, at any time, in any way, anywhere [1][2]. In fact, there are those who advocate sex with children and with animals [3][4].
There is no guilt, no shame associated with this. Morality is an illusion. There should be no artificial restrictions placed on human behavior.
After all, human beings are just animals, themselves, only slightly more evolved than apes. Unrealistic expectations that they exhibit loyalty, trustworthiness, and commitment are the real reason relationships fail. According to Ryan, at any rate.
Unfortunately, Ryan is not alone in his belief [5]. Well known celebrities and influencers are taking up the cause. These individuals are being hailed for their courage in “changing the conversation” [6].
A Sordid Lie
That we are sexual omnivores is a sordid lie about human nature, a rationalization for sin.
If we cannot sustain a single loving relationship successfully, we are hardly likely to sustain multiple such relationships, regardless of the sex of the individuals involved.
The men who engaged in anonymous sex with hundreds of partners in New York City’s gay bathhouses during the 1960s were no more fulfilled at the end of that terrible experiment, than they were at the start.
We were made by God, in His image. We can blind ourselves to that truth. We can wallow in the mud, give ourselves over to debasement, if we prefer. But we are not condemned to do that.
And, once we choose that course, there is a risk we may not be able to recover.
“For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another…And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting” (Rom. 1: 26-28).

ANNA WALDHERR A Voice Reclaimed, Surviving Child Abuse 
My personal belief is that every partnership rests on two pillars: respect for one’s partner and respect for one’s own boundaries. Dr. Ryan is not entirely wrong, but his theories focus largely on self-centered individuals. It is, of course, easier to pursue one’s own needs and desires while ignoring the feelings of others. In the short term, this may bring satisfaction—but in the long term, it overlooks the fact that empathy and respect are the atomic forces that hold societies and civilizations together.
History shows us this clearly: civilizations were built on respect and empathy, and they collapsed when these qualities were neglected. It is easy to indulge in debauchery when society around you is strong enough to protect you—but once that excess crosses a certain threshold, the very foundations of society begin to crumble.
As a sidenote: wolves—animals, after all—are generally monogamous and not known for debauchery. Curiously, of all creatures, Dr. Ryan chose the behavioral model of domesticated farm pigs.
Well said, Hubert.
Well said, as always, Anna. It is remarkable (in my opinion) how many”experts” on human nature spend all of their efforts attempting to deny our nature and the endless amount of evidence that contradicts their positions.
Here’s hoping you have had a pleasant week!
–Scott
You are so kind, Scott. I agree that many so called experts are deluded, themselves.
Any society that debases itself to the point of elevating bestiality and child sex to that of “normal” behavior has in fact rejected the Lord God and His word from its consciousness. Such a society is no longer free, but is in bondage to the whims of every foul demon from Hell. We in America have fallen from the pinnacle of favor and blessing, and now lie rotting at the gates of Hell, with our only hope just a repentant prayer away.
Well said, Anna. Whenever I hear the false notion that people are animals I think, but we actually teach animals, train them, control them, put radio collars on them, restrict their movement so they don’t get hurt!
I’m certainly NOT suggesting we treat people this way, it’s just that to be kind and loving towards animals is usually a whole lot of work, not just a free for all where we allow them to do anything they want.
And of course, many animals are actually far more capable and sensible than people to begin with and less inclined to, “act like animals” in the first place.
Aphorism first: liberty without self-command soon mistakes appetite for argument.
“Sexual omnivores,” says Dr Ryan, as if taxonomy could absolve conduct; yet even his plea is for tolerance, not licence, and never for harming the vulnerable. Civilisation, when it thrives, yokes desire to duty – partnership by consent, boundaries kept, promises honoured.
“Then we are beasts,” cry the partisans; but moral speech begins where instinct ends, and Romans judges our idolatries, not our neighbour’s humanity alone. Let us, then, prefer the hard courtesies – respect, restraint, steadiness – over grand theories that flatter impulse and abandon care; reform starts at home, quietly.
Oh, do we ever need your post. I get so tired of fast forwarding programs because of the sex in them. Nothing is mystery anymore when it comes to sex…nothing reeks of sin more then the desire of the flesh. Good post.
The image for this topic is all too appropriate. So many social media influencers are inviting just this sort of behavior or at least acceptance of it, a spiritual and physical degradation. May God protect the vulnerable.
Good post 👏
