Reich claims White sexual neuroses derive from a lack of sexual gratification due to its suppression by the authoritarian state; characterized best by a capitalism based on the patriarchical family system.
“Conservative, sex-negative moralism” includes:
- Lifelong monogamy: “Compulsive marriage”;
- suppression of infantile sexuality - the primary cause of sexual perversions later in life;
- lack of candid sexual education or sexual freedom for adolescents;
- persecuting homosexuals;
- condemning abortion;
- legalized marriage.
The suppression/repression of White sexuality and the resulting creation or intensification of sexual neuroses is a cyclical relationship that constantly results in more power for the authoritarian state. The authoritarian state’s motive is to preserve its economic structure through the continuance of the patriarchal family as its primary social unit. The family is essential to capitalism because it preserves itself to the next generation.
Bourgeois ideology demands that White adolescents, having reached sexual maturity, be repressed by sexual abstinence. To justify this privation - the basis of pubescent unhappiness - unscientific justifications are made. Anthropological, cross-cultural studies have shown that this does not happen in many contemporary societies which do not have a marked patriarchal ideology (an ideology pushed by technologies like intensive agriculture & mechanization) which are therefore termed “primitive” by Whites. (Anthropologists who have studied such people include Bronislaw Malinowski [The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia], Ploss-Bartels, Havelock Ellis, Hans Meyer [the Wahehe & Wossangu]).
The active effort to obstruct White pubescents from starting to engage in sexual activity includes keeping them from finding the information they need to understand their sexual issues. So-called sex education is practically always a work of deception which focuses on biology while concealing excitement-arousal, which is what interests the young most; while hiding the fact that all their worries and difficulties originate from unsatisfied sexual impulses.
Because White culture is insular, Whites refuse to accept the real reason for their sexually repressed state - the same kind of evasion Reich engages in here. His Communist, anti-bourgeois family rhetoric obscures the fact that he says little about why these structures exist. In this he is like modern Feminism.
Sexuality poorly repressed unsettles some families; well repressed, it unsettles the whole world.
White culture is primarily based upon White supremacy: It is the fons et origo of White identity for lazy whites. This can only work if Whites are in the majority in any given geographic location. Thus, Whites favor majoritarian democracy when in the majority (eg, the USA & Great Britain), but not when in the minority (eg, apartheid South Africa & Hong Kong). Both practices ensure Whites retain power.
Politics is not the only area of human life Whites must treat hypocritically. White sexuality must be repressed to ensure that Whites only breed with Whites to ensure the continuation of Whites as a politically-dominant variety to compensate for their global lack of numbers. Moreover, because Whites possess recessive genes, any interbreeding with non-Whites produces offspring not white enough for Whites to consider politically acceptable - even if these offspring can be socialized as Whites into accepting Whites as superior. The latter indoctrination might not work, so it is better for Whites to avoid any and all miscegenation as a preventive of the decline of White supremacy.
The White need to continue benefiting financially and psychologically from the privileges inherent in White supremacy; while evading the guilt feelings produced by automatically benefiting from the sufferings of others; requires that Whites segregate themselves. Similarly, Roman Catholics ensure the domination of Christianity - as a religious and political force over the lives of 1.6 billion humans - by abjuring contraception to ensure many more Catholics are born than any other religious or political group.
It is important for Whites, therefore, to ensure non-Whites are considered ugly and Whites the most beautiful (eg, Loaded & FHM, but not Miss World since most women are not White and so Whites are less likely to win); that they are considered less intelligent (eg, The Bell Curve & IQ testing, generally); that they are considered dangerous (eg, immigration controls & police harassment); that they are considered in need of help from Whites (eg, foreign aid & Third-World charity); that they are considered less competitive &/or athletic (eg, Whites focus on sports Whites can win, not boxing or running, but tennis & cycling - thereby disparaging-by-omission non-White achievement).
The above is designed to make non-Whites unattractive as friends or breeding partners; forcing Whites to repress their need for friendship and sex into a need for friendship and sex with White supremacists; forcing them to be with those not necessarily of their choice, but those who are socially-acceptable to other Whites - ie, parents, friends & their wider culture.
It is hardly surprising, therefore, that Whites have political relationships rather than personal ones; having sex with those they might not actually desire and friendships with those they might not actually like - all to avoid being socially ostracized; knowing full well that no other culture will accept such White rejects. This explains the popularity of Feminsist sexual politics as a subject of study in White cultures: White women are unsatisfied with their relationships with White men because their behavior toward them is more motivated by collaboration with White supremacy than it is by either genuine love or true lust. This also explains the prevalence of pornography, STDs, divorce, spousal abuse, adultery & infideltiy among whites: A basic inner dissatisfaction born of the inability to trust those whose motives may be more political than personal. The fact that Whites cling to White supremacy as the basis of their sense of identity, despite its inherent flaws, also proves them to be masochistic - as well as paranoid and schiozophrenic (the flip side of sadism).
Whites rarely experience choosing their friends or lovers, while being embarrassed by their emotions and nervous about the difficulty of choosing whom to desire, sexually and socially, since their sexual feelings and human empathy are repressed - because they must choose White - to avoid cultural rejection and social isolation. As the homophobe lives in permanent fear that they might be gay, the White lives in permanent fear that they might be equals of non-Whites and might even like them for friendship or sex.
Yet, emotions and lusts can never truly be repressed; hence, the Whites’ countervailing myths of Black sexual prodigiousness and excessive penis size - a conflict in the White mind that can only be temporarily relieved by overt White supremacy or permanently relieved by the renunciation of White supremacy. Obviously, the latter is very unlikely since it is evaded as a solution to White sexual unhappiness because of the lifetime of work it involves.
