I broadly agree, except in so far a I think there's maybe a little too much emphasis on sex. Why neccessarily equate the liberation of pleasure with sexuality, either exclusively or primarily? Why not even, dare I say it, incidentally if at all? As I see it at the moment 9i.e., exploring a thought path), our society is incredibly sex-positive, in so far as the whole right wing is obsessed with it. This makes sense to me, in so far as Sex in general may very well be a substitute and distraction from the contemplation and pursuit of real pleasure, and instead might very well be, ultimately, deeply counter-revolutionary.
