    From the perspective of evolution having sex is a measurement of success, so I have mixed feelings about this message.

        I am not undermining potential social issues and neither have I said that you should let egocentric interests guide your life as we transcend biological goals by constantly fighting against our nature. However ignoring such goals are also a harmful, repressive idea. Saying “I’m not a prize” is different than saying “I’m not just a prize”.

    How can i tactfully say: i aggree you are a person and will treat you as such. However humam nature is such that your very pleasing apparence is currently shorting pathways from visual cortex to the brainstem. Or in short, i’m turning dumb right now, please hold while i get accustomed.

    Of course im mot going to have that conversation, its juste replying to this post.

    Sometime it feels like going from a dark room to full on sun, and the brain needs a little time adjusting.

    I think it was George rr martin in an interview was asked why he wrote women well

    “Well you know, I’ve always considered women as people.”

    Even though this is the same man who wrote the “fat pink mast scene.” Lactation and all

      Finding people sexy is fine, but treat them as people first and foremost. Degrading and objectifying people isn’t humanizing, obviously, but neither is idolizing them or projecting an idealization of a romantic partner.

        Could you also explain what you mean by “objectification” and how is it different than “finding people sexy”

          Generally, the not bothering of interacting with someone as a person beyond the sexual. It’s fine in certain contexts, namely one’s where that’s what everyone goes into the space looking for, but for contrast I typically know a few non sexual things about someone after a night of heavy flirtation and making out ar a bar
