Sensualism as a Social Strategy

& The Political Utility of Exploitation -

The Following Is An Excerpt From Chapter 2 of my book: "Kingdoms Of This World” - Which Will Be Available Later This Year.

Sensualism is not just a personal temptation—it is a governance strategy. Populations bound to the flesh are easier to rule, and pleasure becomes a method of state control.

From temple prostitution in Babylon to the sexual cults of Greece, to Rome’s glorification of orgiastic festivals, rulers discovered early on that populations bound to their flesh were easier to rule. A society that consumes without restraint does not question power—it begs for it.

Modern democracies, particularly in the West, have adopted a sanitized form of the same strategy. Gone are the temples and sacred prostitutes; in their place are streaming platforms, pharmaceutical prescriptions, and public school curriculums that sexualize children under the guise of identity formation.

In the absence of spiritual understanding, the human body becomes man’s idol—pleasure becomes his liturgy. This isn’t accidental. It’s a form of self delusional engineering. Entire industries—from pornography to pop culture—are designed not simply to gratify desire, but to mold it. The goal is not merely indulgence, but redefinition—to untether man from moral law and reconnect him to state-sanctioned appetites.

Sensualism is the preferred tool of tyrants, because it weakens moral resistance. A people trained to pursue pleasure as a right will never recognize slavery when it comes wrapped in convenience. And governments that permit, even promote, such degradation are not morally neutral—they are complicit architects in a structure of systemic sin.
