Everything always has to turn sexual...
Everything mostly is.
Like, much of who you are is based on sex hormones.
Yeah, because we're kind of hardwired to be sexual creatures, just as we're hardwired to be social creatures. Reproduction is the point of life, after all.
Repression and uncomfortableness with pleasure, sex, kink, all these things, is largely a cultural construct devised and pushed by those in charge, and not necessarily a natural effect.
There's a lot of freedom to be had by letting go of that cultural regression.
And sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
This actually works perfectly as a response because Freud was obviously wrong when he said it.
Disagree.
