^ Yes and let me add few;

Hedonistic behavior commonly is taken in negative context. Not necessarily true.

It can be at individual level or 'national' or collective level.

It basically means openness to being happy. Allowing one to obtain pleasure.

It is a driving force to keep moving on.

If sex was not associated with pleasure then.....??

Nothing wrong or immoral about it as long as the vehicle used to obtain pleasure is correct.

Opposite of Hedonism is Asceticism I think.

Some people take religion (especially Islam) as something which promotes Asceticism which is not really true but on the surface it does appear so.

Extreme of both are detrimental to progress and healthy life.

The answer to first question is no, not really.
