Louise Perry makes me feel like I'm getting a rash.
I agree with this part:
the amoral libertinism and callous disenchantment of liberal feminism and our contemporary hypersexualised culture represent more loss than gain.
And most of this:
The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-up culture and ubiquitous porn – where anything goes and only consent matters – are ... men,
But where's she getting forced from?
not the women forced to accommodate the excesses of male lust.
Her observations of changes in our cultural environment are correct: the increasingly gross, misogynistic and illegal activities marketed as 'sex' and freely available to a mass market that includes children & young adults; the shocking re-interpretation of 'rough sex' to mean life-threatening, which has already led to the acquittal of murderers; so-called liberal feminism's eagerness to sacrifice women to an illusion of consent.
Perry then goes on to conflate all this with sexual amorality, painting women as dozy victims who are repeatedly forced to endure rape & sexual coercion by amoral men who've been brainwashed into becoming sexual abusers.
If we're talking about schoolchildren and school leavers, she's got a point but that point is not about morals. It's about useless sex education and incompetent authorities failing to regulate online porn. Perry's plugging a religious approach (Christianity in her case, but they're all the same). That morality means girls withhold sex as a reward for commitment, and boys are desperate to get their ends away but can't because of respect for the gatekeeping.
There is no evidence that two virgins will make a better marriage than an experienced couple. And that isn't morality - good morals mean you won't willingly harm another person. Young people of both sexes are horrified and visibly upset when they're told that what they see in porn is unrealistic and harmful.
They need to be told they all - girls and boys - deserve joyful, safe, shared sex with partners they have chosen. They need to be told the choice is mutual; that they are equally entitled to pleasure; that this comes with mutual respect. They probably need to be shown what this looks like.
They don't need a dishonest trade of sex for a gold ring. They don't need to believe a woman's value is between her legs, that unmarried sex is dirty, or that sexual abuse doesn't matter if the girl sleeps around. In pursuit of her religious message, this is what Perry implies.
