You are wrong, in suggesting that there is no solution. It's actually easy, when you see how others have done it, are doing it !
We have to be more transparent, balanced and true to oneself. But not, as you might believe, just about sex. We do not have to reduce the value of sex, nor is sex in commerce any deterrent to a solution. That others have failed, as have the priests, does not mean that there is no solution, either. The Victorian world no longer exists, except in our minds and attitudes. The frogs in the well have only to come out and see it as it is.
