For the love of God can't we just make sex work legal, take the shame out of it, and STOP associating it with massage? PLEASE?!?
I've been a massage therapist for almost 20 years now and have got the point where the sex jokes hit with about the same impact as asking the cashier if something is free if the item doesn't scan at the register. I work in hospice, and not 3 weeks ago I had a patient's brother in law giggle and ask me if I gave his sister in law a happy ending. My inside voice said "no, sorry, she's still breathing so she has to keep dealing with you" while my outside voice pretended not to hear the comment.
Legalizing it won't take the shame out. There is no such thing as serious and dignified sex. We're animals that have a really fucking stupid and silly desire that we're aware of but can't just not want anyhow. Best we can do is try not to take it seriously.
You're confusing Abrahamic religious manipulation with human nature.
Bro I have no idea what you're on about, but you should smoke some shit that makes some sense.
They're talking about how religions like Christianity make sex a "shameful" act that should never be enjoyed outside of anything but institutional marriage, even though it's completely natural to desire consensual sex for myriad reasons.
The fact that humans can recognize the biological motivations of sexuality and its various purposes (pleasure, connection, procreation) doesn't make sex stupid, silly, or somehow undignified. Religious institutions try hard to make anything sexual a sin in order to shame adherents into not having sex because "only God can grant you that joy and only within marriage, anything else sends you straight to hell."
Did .. did you just say pedophilia is natural? Any and all arguments you have made are null and void. Your opinion is shit and you should feel like shit.
You don't think there's an evolutionary advantage to getting at girls first when they're young as possible before other guys do? You don't think that advantage from that behavior got passed into genes? Why do you think it happens? There's no rational sociably equitable reason for it. I'm not sitting here condoning it. It's obviously bad. Youth generally comes with all the indicators of health. I don't think you consider the word 'natural' the same way I do. You think of natural as being 'okay and healthy' and I think of it as 'wild, competitive, and not consciously regulated'. Behavior is not generally without reason. Everything is because of reasons.
this sounds like incel logic disguised as sensible evolutionary science. we have social etiquette that requires treating these topics with a delicacy that you have completely ignored which raises all sorts of red flags. if you want to be listened to about controversial topics then you are going about it in an awful way.
Against my better judgement I'm gonna try to respond to this.
To begin with, prepubescent girls can't get pregnant. After that, young girls have an increased risk of not being able to carry a pregnancy to term, dying in childbirth, and of birthing children who end up underdeveloped.
No, then it would likely be more commonplace instead of being abnormal.
I strongly disagree with this assessment when it comes to people who have not physically developed into adulthood yet.
Sometimes those reasons are because something has gone wrong. Or because of random chance. To think every behavior fulfills an intended purpose that is evolutionarily beneficial is unscientific in my view.
That first sentence made me physically recoil. What is wrong with you? Go seek help, for all of our sakes.
