Description
The topic "When Sex Lost Its Soul: How the Enlightenment, Freud, and Tinder Gutted Eros" explores theprofound shift in how society perceives and experiences intimacy, tracing the erosion of sex's deeper emotionaland spiritual dimensions. The Enlightenment's emphasis on reason over passion began to strip eros of itsmystical allure, reducing it to a mechanical act. Freud's psychoanalytic theories further framed sex as a primalurge, often detached from love or transcendence. In the modern era, apps like Tinder have accelerated thistrend, prioritizing instant gratification and transactional encounters over soulful connection. This narrative reflectsa cultural loss, yet it also invites reflection on how we might reclaim the sacred, transformative power of eros in aworld dominated by logic, instinct, and swipes.
