I hope we all know this and are just doing it as a bit, but sometimes I do see shit on this website that makes me go “Oh y’all are genuinely just weird prudes”

The “gooner epidemic” is not real, gooning is an incredibly niche kink that very few people engage in.

“Porn addiction” is basically non existent and affects such a small portion of the population as to not be relevant. The idea that most people have in their heads about porn addiction is propaganda made up by evangelicals.

We do not live in an overly-sexually-liberated time. There is not an excess of sexual content or exposure to it.

Most of the time when people talk about “the gooner problem” what they’re actually talking about is a mix of two unrelated things, people living normal sexually liberated lives, and undersocialized young men that don’t know how to interact with people.

Sex is good. We should be having more of it. We should encourage healthy, safe sex featuring whatever kinks you and your partner(s) consent to. Don’t fall for puritan propaganda comrades.

Why though? Why do you prefer that?

Cause that’s kind of my point. The fact that people, including leftists, prefer spaces where sexual talk is kept to a minimum is the sign that we do not live in an era with too much exposure to sex and in fact we live in a very repressed and puritanical time.

i prefer online spaces where sexual talk is kept to a minimum because i don't enjoy being sexually harassed by men. i go to irl queer events when i want that.

rat-salute seen it way too much so I respek this

I feel like its everywhere. Like, scrolling other social media, there's just, constant thirst traps, horny ass art, conversation topics that are thirsty as hell. Photos with just, a girl doing cosplay or another hobby are full of people harassing her.

Some of the above things are 'fine', others aren't. Like, idk if people want to post and discuss their fetish art. But its all very gross to me, and I want to stay far away from it. I don't have any desire to talk about sexual content with anyone other than my partner.

Because it tends to get really weird really fast. Most people would probably be reasonable about it but you're almost certainly going to attract a few major weirdos too.

Basically a "bad apple spoils the bunch" kind of thing.

Idk honestly. For a while i thought i was ace but I'm just not that into sex or talking about it. Not for any moral reasons just cause

I mean isn't that what being ace is? Honest question tho, I'm very much very horny and have no idea how ace people work.

Asexuality is a spectrum and there are quite a lot of gradations in between completely sex-repulsed asexual and extremely active allosexual

Is the fact that people, including right-wingers, prefer spaces where race science talk is kept to a minimum, a sign that we do not live in an era with too much racism and in fact we live in a very equal and fair time?
