High-ranking members of totalitarian states get plenty of access to beautiful young women (and men/boys), and those in hedonistic regimes will crush specific individuals they despise, but you can very much tell which way a fallen state is tilted.
Various secularists who haven't gone into full crazy-land will try to argue that they can have their cake and eat it too, but that's a much more involved argument.
