In Brazil now, but sure to spread if the Apocalypse doesn’t happen soon:
Erotic sculpture park? Check. Bumper cars designed like genitalia? Check. Snack bar serving aphrodisiac recipes? Check. Sex on the premises? Uh, better not.
Entrepreneurs in Brazil are seeking to build an adults-only theme park called ErotikaLand near the city of Piracicaba, about two hours’ drive from São Paulo, and they hope to open its doors by 2018. But the project is setting off debate over public displays of sexuality in Brazil, where Carnival celebrations feature scantily clad dancers and thousands of short-stay love motels strive to please an exacting clientele…
Parkgoers will be able to tour a museum exploring the history of sexuality, and employees will promote condom use. The park will have a “sex playground,” but it will feature a labyrinth, Ferris wheel and water slide.
What the customers cannot have, the investors say, is any actual intercourse — at least, not in the park.
No word on whether the bumpercars are shaped like penii or vaginii. Why I wondered is a sign of just how far my mind has been contaminated by this world.
The slide toward r is a process, and the present state merely a spot on a scale, somewhere between totally K and completely r. Obviously, we are presently heading in one direction.
Right now public sex, in front of random strangers who just happen to be there is frowned upon.
Yet today the federal government has decided that a man in a wig can enter a women’s restroom to watch them go to the bathroom. We have actually seen a pedophile who claimed he felt like a woman, and demanded to be let into a female locker room where young female children would undress – and the law supported him. When confronted, he actually said, “The law has changed. Now I have a right to be here.” And he was right. Our government supports him – openly.
In the fifties, that would have been as unthinkable to the people back then as we, today, would view a man and a woman just stripping down and having sex openly in a bar in front of everyone.
Mark my words, if the eggheads manage to stave off the Apocalypse for a couple of decades, or if a post-scarcity technology comes along, public sex will become just as supported by the government as transgenderism is today. Rabbits will do it in front of children just to irk us.
And don’t think it will be good looking supermodels and athletes when the time comes. It will be an endless stream of sexually unselective, morbidly obese fatties, uggos, and walking physical deformities, all of whom will decry any opposition to their repulsive nakedness and public exchange of bodily fluids as a byproduct of small minds and uptight upbringings.
You think things are bad now? Mark my words – they can get worse. By the standards of pure r, the weirdness has just begun.
Read contemporary histories of the time between 50 BC and around 300 AD in Rome and Jerusalem. We’re heading there quickly. It’s a cycle, and there is nothing new under the sun. None of what you’ve described in the “theme park” or your projections would have been out of place in 200 AD Rome.
The historians of the time, being historians, knew that what they were seeing was unprecedented in Rome and reminiscent of the fall of earlier empires like the Greek city states and Phoenicia. That’s why they chronicled it in so much detail.
This doesnt shock me at all that this would happen here in Braz. Still repulsed that they actually do it. Sexuality is loose here, all over TV and decency seems to be absent in some parts.
What confuses me is, how could such a poor country where people are just barely passing by have such an r-type behavior?
There is a genetic basis to r and K. My guess would be they are a high DRD4 long form carriers (maybe due to high Portuguese migrant history) combined with enough warmth, comfort, food, and relative safety outside of the favelas to support a sexualized culture that trickles down from the higher classes to everywhere else.
A sexualized culture is itself an r-stimulus, eliciting constant dopamine flow.
That said, I have never traveled there, so I could be off and there could be other factors.
I would expect to see lots of high DRD4 genes in the indigenous population, actually. Hunter-gatherer civilizations are actually pretty close to the (r) ideal, because they gathering gives them a baseline nutrition (usually with ridiculously low energy-costs compared to agriculture) and hunting is purely nutrition profit. Once your comfort level adjusts to the squalor, jungle life is very easy, energy-wise.
Indig tribes usually have the other (r) markers pretty strong, like matrilineal property, rampant promiscuity, tribal “wars” that are more about signaling and raiding than actually conquering, etc.
I really liked this article and others you’ve authored.
Would you be OK if I shared one of your articles with the WriterBeat.com community? I can provide more information about Writer Beat or answer any question, but better than anything I can say in words, please take a look at the site.
If yes, just give me an “OK” and I’ll handle the rest (there is no fee).

Feel free to.
You should really have a story submission page for all the deviancy, I have tons. https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/anyone-can-be-a-mermaid-the-world-of-professional-mermen This one is especially unsettling.
After the Amsterdam sex museum, I am not surprised.
History is valuable for that very reason, the trends over time appear and can tell us something. I can’t imagine public sex in theme parks. But could it happen? You may be right!
Imagination may not be able to encompass the depths to which r-selection will go to. Sex becomes less of a sacred union between man and wife set apart for each other and more of a commodity. It becomes as in Bonobo society like shaking hands.
Bonobos due to resource plenty are degenerated Chimpanzees. But K-selection will put a stop to that.
The last part of this post was very interesting. We all know God has a timetable for apocalypse. What that timetable is, is of course open to speculation. But most indications from way back say it was supposed to start in the last few years. So whats keeping it?
Whats keeping it is that this is the big story. We are the end of history. There are no repeats here. The entire purpose of creation is being met now at this time. Every soul that ever lived has to get their act together now, because after this, the best a soul can hope for is to be corrected to a minimipum state of its potential. God is not a tyrant, so He is not going to force this on us until we collectively refuse to continue.
You described a world that no man of God will tolerate. but a lot of righteous people, being righteous do not want the world to suffer either. So He holds it off. He’s leaving it until we either say “enough” or … what? Repentance? We reach a stage of spiritual enlightenment that kicks off a cascade of penitance across the world?
How much of this are the righteous souls willing to endure? There’s been talk from the more spiritually sensitive that “the Destroyer” has already been let loose to take an accounting of men, that is, who will live and who will die. But the fact is, that entity is still only being permitted to take an accounting. What if a soul could reach a high enough state of prayer and penance that he could arrest the process, hold it back so that more people could improve?
We have mass communication like never before. There are righteous people, artists, who were created with the potential ability to bring down a great deal of light into the world. Anyone who knows anything about the nature of the distribution channels of the arts realizes why those people are locked out. But nevertheless the means exist to go around all those channels.
I say that God has given us, and more importantly made us aware of those means as a message of hope to every last one us. That if He wants to, He can open up all channels and bring to us His light and heal us from all the disgusting and horrific damage we’ve done to ourselves.
I say He is not doing that just as a tease. I will not accept that He is some petty tyrant. If He makes us aware of something, it MUST BE FOR A REASON. I say that He is making us aware of these things because He wants us to know we can do soemthing about it. Yes, the degenerates have succeeded in every material way, they have us coming and going, and they have utterly corrupted even the best of us in ways no one could or would even want to inderstand.
Nevertheless, reason dictates that it doesnt matter how fucked up someone is, or how low. Compared to God the most fucked up human and the most enlightened are equally zero. If prayers are heard from one, then prayers must be heard from the other.
This is a bad situation, and no mistake about it, we are in THE endgame scenario. If we dont handle this right, even those of us who do well are not going to forgive themselves for not doing better.
Prayer, self healing, encouragement to others, more prayer.
Something I wonder about – why aren’t the bonobo chimps already long extinct from an STD?
I would suspect that it is s combination of troop isolation and that if an STD DOES appear in a troop, it infects so quickly that the troop dies before it can transmit to another troop.
