One day, we may look back at sex as a "much-loved but frivolous game," much like jousting, as digital lives increasingly replace "touchable skin". passive intimacy? Goodbye to sex: a short and heartfelt eulogy - The Guardian

The concept of a "eulogy to sexual passivity" from 2022 appears to be an evocative literary or cultural exploration of the shifting landscape of intimacy in the modern age. While a specific singular "piece" with that exact title may exist within niche philosophical or editorial circles, the theme aligns closely with contemporary critiques—most notably a famous 2016 The Guardian editorial—that mourn the "death" of traditional, unhurried sex in favor of digital efficiency and performance.
