RE: <3 Steemit community your comments makes me feel loved here! <3
That which is denied or hidden is MORE coveted and sought.
It is the indoctrination of guilt and shame that supports the entire porn industry.
Perhaps when the open expression of sexuality is allowed and naturalized
LOVE will again be the stimulus required for arousal.
Didn't you read my whole comment?
What evidence is there anywhere that removing taboos increases arousal? Because we have an incredible amount of evidence otherwise. All that happens is when we remove one taboo we move the bar higher and we find something else.
If we were to reach a point where nudity and sexuality no longer has any taboo around it at all then it would no longer be arousing. Why? Because it's normal, exactly the same reason as seeing a girls naked ankles doesn't even register as sexual. If you want sexuality to be sexual then you can't seriously wish that everyone thought nothing of it. If you wanted showing breasts to be considered no more taboo than showing a man's chest you're also saying you want breasts to be considered just as non-sexual. Now maybe you're okay with that, maybe you want that, but most people that say this sort of thing seem to think they can have both at the same time. It's like seriously thinking that if we could have sex with whoever we wanted at any time would still make sex just as exciting and interesting to us, Yes, nice fantasy maybe, but in reality just like anything else the less scarce something is the less valuable you find it. To the point where if it's so abundant, even if it's essential to you, you don't even notice it's even there. You don't notice all the breathable air around you as a "thing", it's just empty space, because it's so abundant it doesn't even register.
