Sexual degenerates: a ranking with no objective standard

Sensual degeneracy: a ranking that makes people uncomfortable

There is no possibility of agreement when it comes to naming the biggest sensual degenerate. The exchange of references proves it, ranging from the most infamous incivil to corrupt politicians and Dubai millionaires, a path where crimes, money and prejudices of origin and age are all mixed together.

From real crime to permanent suspicion

The most visited territory is the true crime world. The mention of the American incivil David Parker Ray and the case of a French husband who drugged his vvife so other men could use her sets the bar at conduct no ethical discussion should soften. Alongside it, political corruption appears as degeneracy of another kind: names like those of certain former PSOE (Spain's Socialist Party) officials under judicial investigation circulate as an archetype, though the criticism focuses more on their physical appearance than on the causes.

Dubai, money and nationality as a filter

Another current holds that the true degenerate is the one who can pay. The mentions include reports of young foreign women receiving 10,000 dollars for a night plus a Louis Vuitton bag, a supposed transaction to which a selection criterion based on age and ethnic origin is added. These claims, hard to verify, reveal something uncomfortable: criticism can turn into tolerated classism and racism.

A title with no clear winner

The only conclusion is that the ranking changes depending on who is speaking and who they are pointing at. Degeneracy knows no social class, but the obsession with classifying it is contaminated by the very hierarchies it claims to condemn. If this continues, the title will pass from hand to hand: what today is attributed to the corrupt politician and the tycoon will tomorrow fall to the incivil. The question will remain unanswered and open.
