Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman
gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 4 days agothere’s definitely a gender dichotomy that goes far back to england and the puritans who believed that basically women are inferior beings for having a sex drive (because that’s devilish), meanwhile men got a semi-pass possibly because they’re more difficult to say “no” to.
anyways, the english church is single-handedly responsible for the divide of human culture from human nature. nowhere else in the world (and i’ve studied a lot of philosophy!) have i seen such a great divide. it’s all about the asymmetry of good and bad.

just as a follow-up, the sad thing is, nobody could explain to me why the puritans have such a strong aversion to sex. it’s just postulated but without any proof or at least hint that would make it plausible.

I think if you has asked “Why do puritans and others have such a strong aversion to sex?” you would have gotten better answers than asking your question “Prudish people, why do you hate sex?”

yeah i guess so.

It’s because well, sex is pleasurable (and kind of dirty), but mostly, they obviously tend towards suffering, like believing in hard work and denial, and sex is very much the opposite of that.
