Hedonism is “the belief that the indulgence in sensual pleasure will bring true satisfaction or happiness."

"Life is an element distinct from matter. Life is your essence. You are a life particle, temporarily living in a material body. If you don´t know this – if you are ignorant of your actual nonmaterial nature – then you will identify yourself with your material body. You will consider your body to be you. And this will automatically lead you to hedonism." (page 201)

"Our attempt to satisfy the sexual urge or itch has lead us into all sorts of sexual behavior. But no matter how many beauty queens, beach boys, children, donkeys, dogs, dead bodies, plastic vaginas, electric vibrators, or fire hydrants we screw, we still aren´t satisfied." (page 221)

"The desire for the pleasurable sensation at the tip of your genitals may drive you to strip clubs. If you have a male body, you may go to the strip joints to see naked women dancing erotically on stage, or to watch a man and woman or a group of men and women having sexual intercourse. And if you have a female body, there are now clubs that cater to you which feature male strippers."

"If you go to such a club, the men will dance, strip, and in general try to tease you into a frenzy. Along with the other women in the audience, you may clap, whistle, throw money, claw off the stripper´s clothes, and in general go completely beserk." (page 208)

"As a hedonist, you no doubt revere and feel gratitude toward the father of modern hedonism, Hugh Hefner. And you probably like his Playboy magazine more than ever before. No more do you have to imagine what the cute college coed´s vagina looks like. You can now see it in full color. But Playboy is not your only choice in pornographic magazines. You can now drool over the countless dripping vaginas that appear in such magazines as Penthouse, Hustler, and more."

"However, because of the static nature of still photography, pornographic magazines still leave something to be desired. So you may like to add to your monthly, weekly, or even daily schedule a visit to one of the many pornographic movie houses that dot our landscape. There you can see everything in motion and with sound. Instead of just seeing a still photo of a woman´s breasts, you can now see them jiggle and bounce! Instead of just seeing still photos of vaginas, you can see people licking them. Of course, movie houses can have a confining effect upon a free man´s spirit, so you may prefer to spend your money on pornographic video cassettes (a billion-dollar industry). Or you can subscribe to one of the growing number of cable stations that show or even specialize in pornographic movies." (page 209)

"Increasingly, men are being treated as sex machines. If you are a hedonist with a female body, you desire, expect, and may even demand from your male partner a particular quota of orgasms per week, per day, or even per sexual encounter.....And of course, he feels the pressure of having to compete not only with your previous or concurrent lovers, but also with electric vibrators." (page 210)

"For hedonists, marriage is nothing more than legalized prostitution. If you are a woman, you sell your body. You get paid in food, shelter, sexual enjoyment, and other material rewards. If you are a man, you likewise prostitute yourself: You work very hard so that you can always have a woman serving your tongue, genitals, and other senses." (page 211)

"If your spouse is also a dedicated hedonist, you may jointly decide that you should both enjoy sex with other people. You may even get into orgies with your neighbors or friends – a sort of “New Age” bridge club. Or you may opt to join the orgy clubs already in existence." (page 212)

"If you are a teenager, it´s highly likely that you are well an your way to becoming a full-fledged member of our hedonistic culture. You´ve witnessed the social acceptability of illicit sex among adults, and you´ve been well versed by the mass media in the “enjoy-yourself” philosophy of life. What reason could you possibly have for not engaging in premarital sex?" (page 213)

"You may, of course, have second thoughts about your lifestyle if you run into the “pregnancy problem.” Despite your sex-education classes, if you are male, you may have already gotten a girl pregnant; if you´re female, you may be one of the approximately one million teenagers who becomes pregnant every year." (page 213)

"If you haven´t been sexually satisfied – whatever that´s supposed to mean – by liaisons with members of the opposite sex, you may have turned to homosexuality or bisexuality." (page 214)

"Like many hedonists, you may long to enjoy a fresh, innocent, unsophisticated sexual partner. If so, then you may be involved in sexual relationships with children. It´s becoming quite the “in” thing nowadays among the “truly liberated.”" (page 214)

"In the United States alone, you can chose from hundreds of magazines that deal exclusively in child pornography. In these magazines, you´ll be able to see children showing off their genitals just like their adult counterparts do in porno magazines like Playboy and Playgirl. You´ll also be able to “enjoy” seeing these children having sex with other children as well as with adults. Such magazines sell millions of copies every month. The films might turn you on even more." (page 215)

"After a while, mastubating over “kiddie porn” magazines and films may not be enough for you. If you´re like a legion of other hedonists, you´ll eventually graduate to the real thing – you´ll want to have direct personal sexual relations with a child. And it won´t be too hard to find what you´re looking for. In New York City alone there are at least 30,000 child prostitutes – boys and girls. The situation is quite similar in other large cities throughout the United States and other industrialized countries. If you live in the Los Angeles area, you probably already know that on any given evening on certain boulevards you can pick up a young boy or girl – whatever your “sexual preference” – with no effort at all. Or, if you live in Sydney, Australia, you can take your pick of the estimated 3,000 to 5,000 child prostitutes." (page 215)

"You may consider yourself a good, upstanding hedonist, and you may want to get into kiddie sex, but you might be hesitating out of fear that you´ll be running with the “low-life” crowd. Don´t worry, in the United States, for example, the average customer for a child prostitute or child pornographic material has been described by authorities as “white, male, middle-aged, middle class, and usually married.”" (page 216)

"If you want to feel better about yourself after having set upon the path of kiddie sexploitation, you may even want to join with those in our society who promote such activities as beneficial to the children. You may, for example, want to join the Chicago.based Pedophiliacs Anonymous society (PAN), which actively promotes the idea that “sensitive, loving adults are the only reasonable agents for the futherance of childhood sexuality.”" (page 217)

"Sexual violence is not only an outlet for anger and frustration – it is also a way that you can continue to delude yourself into believing that you are indeed the lord, controller, and owner of all that you survey. It is a means to reinforce your illusory concept of yourself as the supreme dominator and enjoyer." (page 221)

"For instance, you may have come to the point where you feel the need to “spice up” your sex life with sadomasochism (or “SM,” as those in the know call it). As a sadomasochist, you try to heighten your sexual pleasure by intorducing the element of pain and fear into your sexual encounters. You may use torture or simulated torture; or you may be into “bondage” – tying or handcuffing your partner in various positions, etc. Or you might really enjoy whipping or being whipped by your mate. Of course, you may be a novice in sadomasochism and thus need the advice of experts. If so, you would be interested in the better porno shops. There you can buy not only the handcuffs, whips, chains, and everything else you might need to express your “love” to your mate, but also the books and magazines you will need for guidance." (page 222)

"If you can´t find a mate to play sex-violence games with, or if you are not satisfied with simulated torture, or if you don´t want to be restrained in your behavior by your partner´s “hangups” against being severely tortured, maimed, or killed, you can always resort to that most common of hedonistic sports – rape and/or rapemurder." (page 222)

"If you are afraid to take up rape as a way of life (if you´re afraid of jail), then you may choose to stimulate your genitals by watching someone else raping and murdering people. You may choose to patronize the increasingly violent pornographic movies." (page 224)

"The first reel shows five eight-year-old girls receiving their communion, perfect innocents in the perfect ceremony of innocence. Suddenly, a motorcycle gang breaks into the church. Right then, you know what is going to happen ... And here there is a surprise. For, instead on immediately commencing to rape the girls, the gang pauses to beat up the priest with chains. Then they crucify him to the cross above the altar. Finally, by reel four, the sex begins. You can actually see the little gils bleeding. All of them are screaming."

"Pornographic movies now dish out a regular fare of rapes, beatings, whippings, tortures, murders, and more. In fact, there are some pornographic movies which show women actually geing raped, murdered, and even eaten. Appropriately, such films are called “snuff" movies." (page 224)

"Snuff movies usually end with the victim being eaten – consumed." (page 226)

"An increasing number of women in the United States keep dogs for sexual reasons. There are even kennels that specialize in the breeding of such sex dogs – big ones like German shepherds are evidently the most popular." (page 235)
