Dennis Prager asked this question on his Happiness Hour (Friday at 10 am PST) this week. Does hedonism bring happiness? I didn’t hear the whole hour, but he basically proved it does not.
Religions welcome sex. But sex is between the right people at the right times. And that makes it deeper and more meaningful, and more joyful. I’m sure Hefner felt that if sex wasn’t nasty, disgusting, and made you both embarrassed and lie about it, you’re doing it wrong.
” Does hedonism bring happiness?”
Like anything else...yes, in moderation.
