Much has been said about the recent trend of
libertarians turning into (neo-)conservatives as a result of (the collapse of socialism/the collapse of libertarianism/September 11/the aging process in general). I was wondering whether there was a sexual dimension to this trend, with libertarian/progressive kinks giving way to more conservative/reactionary alternative lifestyles without passing through the mainstream.
I.e., are we likely to see Heinleinian polyamorists and hot-tubbers becoming
Goreans or old-sk00l-Mormon-style polygamists en masse?
