ABSTRACT
Masud Khan's analysis of perversion makes it plain that the origins of 'aim-inhibited' sex are in failures of creativity in life. 'Sex' exists largely in the area of 'being' and can only be approached by the 'tacit elements' in understanding. Sexual symbols like the naked couples in the magazine Man and Woman are used to arouse primitive anxieties. A good deal of enthusiasm for the sexual revolution seems to be based on a misunderstanding of the ethical implications of existentialism. That one can be sure of rightness, taking into account ethical values that exist in the world, is not the approach of some of those who are most influential today, and who are notable free-thinkers in the realm of sex. John Wilson represents the kind of logical mind which seeks to demonstrate that ethical values are 'bad grammar' and may therefore be rejected.
