The Concept of Sexual Disenchantment

The podcast episode explores the concept of sexual disenchantment, which refers to the shift from an enchanted view of sexuality to a more rational and materialistic perspective. It draws on the ideas of Max Weber and Charles Taylor to argue that reducing sex to a purely physical act neglects the emotional and meaningful aspects of human sexuality. The episode discusses how rejecting traditional sexual morality and pursuing complete freedom can lead to problems and difficulties in establishing meaningful relationships.
