The Swedish parliament passed a law securing its citizens universal basic sex earlier this week. The law secures each citizen’s right to at least 5 intercourses every month.
After recent studies showed that 90 % of all sexual intercourses in Sweden are had by less than 1 % of the males, influential Swedish academics have been pushing hard for the parliament to take responsibility and create more equality on the sexual market.
Education Minister in Sweden Gustav Fridolin says universal basic sex will work as a sexual safety net for people who fall off the sexual market, and protect the unfortunate from being outcompeted by big actors. He points out that, without government intervention, the automation of sex through applications such as Tinder and extremely effective advice from pick-up artists would eventually make all the sex end up in the hands of the few.
Fridolin has long been known for his dedication to equality, but regrets that "the sexual market has been left unregulated and outright neglected by socialists for decades". The Green Party leader thinks what is needed to bring ultimate equality to Western society is more sexual socialism and the very progressive “intercourse tax”.
“No individual should have to survive on less than 5 intercourses a month, let alone experience virginity”, the minister stated. “Therefore, it is our duty to make sure every citizen is guaranteed that minimum amount of sex. In Sweden, 90 % of the sex is had by less than 1 % of the males. In a country built on equality this is unacceptable”, Fridolin concluded.
It is not yet fully decided exactly how the law will be implemented, but the suggestion most likely to go through is a voucher system through which a male without access to a sexual partner will be able to choose 5 women of his choosing. However, a woman cannot be forced into an intercourse with more than 5 males per month, since any number above 5 “would be an unreasonable requirement towards someone who may not find every single intercourse enjoyable and possibly rebel as a consequence” the bill stated.
Some people have been voicing concerns that the government is perhaps overreaching, and that forcing people to give away sex is an abuse of power. However, the Swedish government has clearly promised that the intercourse tax will not be raised to more than 5 per month. They also emphasize that setting the right intercourse rate is a tough balancing act: “In a social democratic society it is the politicians’ job to strike the right balance between protecting intimacy rights, and securing the sexual well-being of the less fortunate”, prime minister Stefan Löfven stated.
