Having a threesome with Swedish twins on a massive pile of money, while a midget in a tuxedo feeds you grapes.
Now that's decadent.

Re: What Single Action Defines 'Decadence'?
No single action can determine decadence, it's just a gradual process. As an example, although the Sultans from 1421-1566 were determined to rule the Ottoman Empire effectively, there were others (e.g, Selim II who ruled straight after Süleyman I) who insisted on leaving the bureaucracy and the Grand Vizier to deal with things rather than ruling properly himself. In fact, he ordered the conquest of Cyprus for their vineyards and that's about all he did.

Allowing yourself to grow fat and continue growing fat despite knowing you are. "Unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence" in a nutshell!

That's the point.Originally Posted by Poach
Ignoring rules and morals because of growing egoism.
Losing proportions and resigning from ambitions.
Constantly avoiding to motivate yourself.
Believing in "everything must fall".
You got to find your own reason to get into decadence and whole pack of reasons to explain yourself that you don't need it (decadence) anymore.
Re: What Single Action Defines 'Decadence'?
A single action cannot define a cumulative process. Decadence is a state of being totally devoted to pleasures with no concern for morals, propriety, or well-being.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude greater than
the animating contest for freedom, go
home from us in peace. We seek not
your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
down and lick the hand that feeds you,
and may posterity forget that ye were
our countrymen."

Re: What Single Action Defines 'Decadence'?
I suppose decadence could be a single action that lasts for a long long time. I mean a few years spent masterbating inbetween naps is pretty decadent, but is that technically a single action?
