I love Taschen books. I HATE their bindings. Almost every book I have gotten, the binding has cracked and split.
proving: any potentially liberating cultural trend is eventually subsumed by the same old shit.

For most people, there can be things that they are interested in observing, but not participating in personally. It’s not a difficult concept.

Sure, particularly when such “things” are not so universal. I think this doesn’t apply to the constant commodification of sex, considering how universal sex is regarded to be. So I think it is more a symptom of power structures being used to profit from the cultivation of mass neurosis. Take something everybody needs such as social interactions, food, or reproduction and then put a parasitic “middle man” there to dictate terms to the unwary.
Excuse me, your example was “body paint and fucking in the streets.” Sex is pretty close to being a universal, those two, not so much.
