> I told my friend about an erotic encounter I’d just experienced and very much delighted in, in which I had my hair brushed at the same time by two very beautiful women at the hair salon — one was teaching the other how to do it a certain way. When I finished my story, my friend looked at me, horrified. I would look at her in horror too. My aversion to touching, being touched by, or even being in a close space with other people comes from exactly this sort of worry, that my presence is being used for some sort of sexual experience unbeknownst to me. Some lines from the article gave me the ick. > It is beautiful, unplanned and does not judge itself because it is an inert sensation, unimbued with premeditated meaning. This should liberate rather than frighten us. I don't need to be told to free my mind just because I don't conform to your gooner sh*t. > Only when we are unafraid can we begin to let desire flourish. Oh okay, if I disagree with the author then I am just ~afraid~ It really seems to me that the author is internally dealing with sexual feelings and rationalizing them as social commentary, transforming her views into a critique of society and cancel culture, while simultaneously backing out and promising that MeToo was valid and that she was definitely not trying to say that MeToo was an overreaction (nice save author!) | ||

>... that my presence is being used for some sort of sexual experience unbeknownst to me. To me this sounds like you are afraid of that? Can you elaborate where that worry is rooted from? What is the problem of sexual experiences happening (automatically, it is literally in our DNA) inside their thoughts? | ||

I don't see the author placing any judgement on people who are averse to their own erotic arousal. Rather, she is criticising people who are judgemental of other people who do experience and enjoy erotic arousal. | ||

> Oh okay, if I disagree with the author then I am just ~afraid~ You opened your comment with expressing fear and finding the event she described as horrific. That is you being afraid. | ||
