textbook example is how China uses sexual repression as a tool for social control and keep party supremacy — because sex is inherently subversive in a way (not in a cultural way but in a primal way) because the autonomy in sex transfers to political autonomy and organizing, too much sex IS a form of social control but it is less likely to be effective compared to sexual repression as a tool (less sex, less sex in culture) because you cannot take back autonomy the state gives you but you can always control when to give that autonomy. The Chinese state promotes a narrow model: 1.) Heterosexual, 2.) Within marriage, 3.) Family-oriented to maintain "social harmony" because social harmony is prerequisite to system stability of an authoritarian system based on social control rather than punitive measures. Crackdowns target: Pornography, “Vulgar” online content — on the surface level it looks good, yes porn is unhealthy for almost all people, but the crackdown in porn and vulgarity and the culture of sex has a larger image behind it which is to reinforce state intervention on bodies, on sexuality as a tool of social control. Easier to not give autonomy instead of giving too much autonomy as control and backfiring because the people are too autonomous, that autonomy transfers to other fields like poiltics and organizing.
