My “opening point” was that feet and breasts aren’t inherently arousing from a third-person perspective

Which is why strip clubs, presumably, never do any business?

So now we’re back to sensation, not observation.

How do your eyes work?

Flat Earth nonsense also rarely comes into dispute in certain circles.

Why are you being a Titty Flat-Earther?

Which is why strip clubs, presumably, never do any business? Strip clubs prove people pay to perform arousal cues. not that tits are magic arousal buttons. Context sells, not anatomy.

How do your eyes work? By processing signals, not generating meaning. You don’t get horny from photons; you get horny from associations.

Why are you being a Titty Flat-Earther? Because I’m not dumb enough to confuse popularity with proof.

  But this won’t work, because there’s nothing inherently sexy about arousal cues. Therefore, nobody goes to them and the businesses all fail immediately.

  Omit the anatomy and see how much context you sell.
  
  You don’t get horny from photons
  
  You quite literally do. If your eyes are closed, the visual medium has no effect.

  You’re arguing against how eyeballs work, at this point

    “There’s nothing inherently sexy about arousal cues. Therefore, nobody goes to them…”
    
    You’re trying to sarcasm your way around a syllogism that doesn’t follow. Arousal cues work because of conditioned association. That’s the point. Still not “inherent.”
    
    “Omit the anatomy and see how much context you sell.”
    
    Sure. Now omit the context and see how much bare anatomy sells. Oh right, that’s why porn has genres, costumes, settings, and storylines.
    
    “You quite literally do [get horny from photons].”
    
    No. You get visual input from photons. Interpretation happens in the brain. By your logic, a baby looking at porn would pop a boner. Try again.
    
    “You’re arguing against how eyeballs work.”
    
    Nah, I’m arguing against how your brain works; specifically, its need to reduce complex psychological responses to caveman-tier hot take bullshit.

    checks the ad revenues on literally any low-rent basic bitch porn site
    
    Significantly more.

    Okay buddy. Take a walk and touch grass.
