Yes I agree 100%, although I admit the reptilian response might never fully attenuate.
Which leads me to, is public nudity/display of sex something we feel is wrong based on fear or disgust? Or because there is a scientific basis of degraded life outcomes? There can be health hazards in say most indoor spaces but for say printed material those biohazard don't exist. I'm seeking to find if I'm being a reptile here.
- kerkeslager 2y agoI think it's not even reptilian--it's cultural (assuming you're from the US) based in the American history of Puritanism and related strains of Christianity. There are a ton of human cultures that don't vilify nudity. Germany, for example, has a much more relaxed attitude toward nudity.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> although I admit the reptilian response might never fully attenuate That’s fine. The problem is in the bits between your senses and the reptilian brain. When a kid screams for their iPad on a plane, the reptilian part of their brain is legitimately freaking out. You’re not going to ever shut that off. But the adults in their life should attempt to disconnect it from the stimulus.m If you’ve genuinely never overcome a fear or disgust, this could be a rewarding learning opportunity. Go to a pride event.
- ty6853 2y agoI've been to multiple pride events, a gay nightclub, drag shows, have gay friends, and been to the odd party that was 90+% gay. Had a great time, no problems, and liked the people. I've learned to look past the feeling, but it doesn't shut off.
