Hello, I am currently dabbling with cyberpunk worldbuilding. I am considering what sexuality would be like. I rarely hear others talk about the idea of a society loosing the actual concept of decency and taboo. However, I don't want it to be "porn for the sake of porn," but I would want it to be percieved as pornographic.
I have always had an interest in adult subjects, but I don't want my writing to be... offensive in a way which intends to shock or harm. I want the sex to both be important to aesthetic, AND be something that impacts the story beyond a "sex scene". It's a society where many norms are worn away and forgotten, everything is hypersexualized, and there is often little concept of "decency". Lots of concepts of privacy don't exist anymore. Like if you saw sex on the sidewalk, there'd be little or no concept of "covering up" or "looking away".
I am less interested in that fancy, neon future ultra advanced mostly clean Cyberpunk, and more into the ultra high disparity, late-stage capitalism cyberpunk. I'm less about transhumanism in the sense of "what does it mean to be human when you're a brain in a jar", and more about the concept of people losing their senses of value and respect.
So, your thoughts? Worth pursuing, or too likely to be percieved as tasteless and lacking respect and sensitivity? I've seen the most renowned book writers write the most abhorrent and bizzare sex scenes... and they often are able to make it work.
