Beauty, sex and morality

While beauty may lie in the hands of the beholder, I also realize that all beholders subscribe to a pattern of experiencing or seeking the experience of completion through a union of the masculine and feminine, and according to nature and its perfection. This makes sex the powerful symbol it is, nay, the powerful tool and weapon, and object of obsession that it is.
Certainly justice and morality need to be beautiful. That is, our ideas of the beautiful guide our ideas of what's moral. And so do our day to day actions depict and intend to achieve beauty.
But of late I have noted that the experience of beauty has become increasingly scarce. Firstly, beauty is risky to encounter or have. Envy, and jealousy rule most of us. And this inevitably leads to war. Beauty demands wisdom; and wisdom demands lots of work and time, and time so far is a scarce commodity. Finally, beauty demands strength and strength is built up, a matter that's not for the faint hearted.
Because the demands of beauty are great, and the masses weak and ignorant then the kind of morality ascribed is prohibitive and harsh. Beauty is shunned and either the male or the female is repressed. Stories of Wangu wa Makeri, sexism in the body politic, men stripping women on the streets, pornography, all these are examples of how the unconscious, and perhaps conscious repression of the beautiful are unjust and morbid. To avoid this we need to re-educate ourselves.

The question mark is filled by the 'superconscious mind'.

They have not had congress, physical, spiritual, mental, psychological, emotional as far as I can tell. Yet they are complementary. Indeed, a paradox.

I tell myself, 'Look at that beauty! So much light! I think I can find the keys to my heart there!'

Title of this thread.
What morality is there when 2 men think the same of 1 lady?
Especially seeing that 'think' is 'mind'?
