Hello,
Evola never advocated "sexual decadence" - we would rather
say "desexualisation", because that's what publications such
as 'Playboy' are basically about -, neither in 'Metaphysics of Sex'
nor anywhere else, and what he said about sexuality in modern times
in this work, he said again in this interview, without any
compromise.
You are not the first to ask these questions; they spring to mind;
they are perfectly legitimate. Only Evola would have been able to
answer them. The answer, however, may be found in part in one of his
books, and, to find it, you may not even need to read it, to go
beyond its title: 'Riding the tiger'.
In the meantime, we would be thankful to you for reminding us of
Guenon's opinion on Evola's character.
