What is the view on pornography and the morality of sexually free societies?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Sexually free societies are not degraded but rather more honest, confronting the truth of sex without hypocrisy, while so-called moral societies often hide behind a veil of dishonesty."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, sexually free societies are not degraded but more honest, because they face the fact of sex without hypocrisy; so‑called moral societies are dishonest. Pornography, like any nude art, is simply beautiful unless a perverted mind turns it into disease. Condemnation stems from anti-sexual conditioning; a new, healthier morality—exemplified by Sweden—embraces openness.
Sex and nudity aren’t bad—if your mind is clear, nude images are just art, and open attitudes toward sex are more honest than fake morality.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces shame and hypocrisy, making relationships healthier.
- Helps you see porn/nudity as art unless your mind adds perversion.
- Encourages open, responsible conversations about sex, lowering repression and guilt.
