It's a term rooted in the conditions that make sex a reproductive act and not just something that feels good
- marcus_holmes 3y agoWhich is getting back to the religious crap of "sex is only for reproduction, between a married couple". Yes sex can result in reproduction, but I think making that its primary purpose misses the point. We experience a desire to fuck, separate from our desire to reproduce. They're two different things that are only related in a tiny minority of circumstances. Classifying someone's sexuality by its possible reproductive outcome is like classifying their tongues by the ability to curl into a tube: kinda valid, but not that useful.
- pdntspa 3y agoNo, it's not. You are reading into things. There is no elevating one modality above the other, they are related but different. Why are you projecting your own biases into my statement? Call a spade a spade. What you take away beyond that is on you.
- marcus_holmes 3y ago> There is no elevating one modality above the other, they are related but different. You grouped all sexual activity into two groups: "normal" and "not normal". I think if anyone is projecting bias, it's that.
- pdntspa 3y agoNo, I used the word 'heteronormative', which has a specific, clinical meaning.
