i think i'm missing whatever disgust/horror thing people seem to have around sex. bizarre fetishes don't make me feel freaked out, just curious. i don't have any 'depraved' or 'damaging' frame around any sexual arousal, there is no inherently bad arousal in my book.

i also don't think exposure to sexuality is inherently bad either, i suspect it's mostly culturally conditioned! can u imagine a world where naked bodies weren't taboo, flashing would lose all its power, nobody would give a shit

where i grew up, exposure to the *knowledge of what sex was* or what the genitals of the other gender were like, until age like... 16, was considered too taboo, too much exposure of kids to sex when they 'weren't ready to handle it.' I think they were wrong.

anyway when i see someone wearing big prosthetic boobs i dont feel a disgust response, its mostly like 'huh cool' And the thought teens might see it im like 'well this is the way the world is and it seems reasonable not to shelter teens from that'

i do agree that public school is a tricky frame, tho if you're gonna be on board the "if the majority of parents feel uncomfortable with their kids being exposed to something in the classroom then we should not allow it" then there's a few tougher hypotheticals down the line

People just differ in their propensity for feeling the emotion of 'sexual disgust'. Probably due mostly to genetic effects. You're probably in the lowest 2% of sexual disgust sensitivity. Most folks would score way higher.

Torn between 'I, too, am sad that I can't really get into shame fetishes' and yelling 'Is there a Slaaneshi cultist on the plane?'

While I agree that much in US culture around sex is overwrought, it seems clear enough that having zero disgust etc. reaction to some things is disordered, if for no other reason than the potential for STDs, physical or psychological trauma, etc.
