This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I wonder if we will ever evolve to the point where we can talk about women online without some mad lad needing to sexualise them.
That’s awfully presumptuous of you, perhaps the comment was made by a woman who is sexualizing short men
Oh noes! They're talking about s-e-x? Gross! We're not supposed to talk about that! That's naughty - we should be reading our bibles instead!
You are telling me that a woman practically naked from waist below is not sexual? You might be gay.
I think the guy is showing more skin, so you might be heterosexual.
Do you have sisters? Do you ever go to the beach? No, it’s really not normal to find yourself reduced to base sexual impulses, and type them out on your computer just because you can see someone’s body.
Yes, I am sane enough to not have sexual urges about relatives. Everyone else is fair game.
It's athletic long legs. Chill, person, it's absolutely partnof human nature and not disrespectful in any way to appreciate that that is sexy.
Nope.
She would have to put pants on, at least.
So when you go to the beach, you are purving on every woman in a swimsuit or bikini?
Yes
Also yes.
I'd be satisfied if women got to openly sexualize men and talk about it. That would level out the playing field and, hopefully, reduce the unnecessary sexualizing of trivial things.
As a man, I'd be all about this
That is literally the opposite of evolution, we evolve to procreate that means more sex and sexualizing.
TLDR: if you don't sexualize women on the Internet you are an affront to evolution and a sin against nature.
Unfortunately for your genes, attitudes like these will mean they don't have much chance of spreading.
“When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”
Technically evolution is an emergent phenomenon from the reproduction of organisms. If you were to clone yourself with slight mutations it would still allow evolution to happen with zero inherent need for sex or sexuality whatsoever
Regardless of that, sexualizing women typically leads one to be an incel not a successfully mating male which means it would be the opposite of evolution by your reasoning.
It’s also interesting that your premise is generic but your conclusion is specific. “Sex is to be encouraged for evolution; that’s why we should sexualize women specifically” If you aren’t a misogynist, you might want to switch your TL;DR to “sexualize people” not specifically “women”
Sexualizing women does not “typically lead to being an incel”, that’s just crazy. Blaming women for failure to succeed in finding a sexual partner is what leads to that.
It’s not inherently bad to see people in a sexual light, what matters is when and how you act on those feelings, and respecting that people are also more than sexual objects.
You are confusing 'sexualizing' someone with finding them sexy. When people talk about sexualizing women they are referring to treating them as sexual objects.
The secret lies in the balance - if i don't sexualize women at least a little bit, i would probably don't have a sexual preference for women.
The important thing is being able to keep it in check - I can talk with every woman without hitting on them, even if i might have sexual thoughts about them in secret, just like women will probably sexualize their preferred gender and still be able to behave decently towards men.
There's a time and place for everything. If it were any other way, humanity would have probably died out by now - either by being primarily asexual or by being disgusted by the opposite sex and their inappropriate behavior.
P.S.: My hypothesis is that since most people are alone while posting, they are mentally in a space where such thoughts are not suppressed as much, which leads to a higher occurrence of horny remarks than in real life. A minuscule amount of people of those who can't stop themselves from expressing their adoration of those legs would be like that when meeting her. And yes, those legs are sexy as hell, and i'm pretty sure she knows it, or this photo would not exist.
It's amazing how many hoops you'll jump through to make a literal scientific fact sound bad but in any case I was obviously speaking in hyperbole to piss people off.
You do realize there is a difference between sexualizing someone and finding them sexy right?
If people stopped treating others like objects this instant, people would still be attracted to each other and still want to have sex and procreate.
Your statement is wrongheaded and ignorant. Do better.
Doesn't matter, evolution is a tendency as in we tend twords things that cause us to reproduce including finding potentially valid breading partners as literal sexual objects.
sex is also a base emotion as in has a higher priority than most other emotions so we will always view things as sexy before we take any other emotions into account or at least evolution will always tend towards sexualization.
But more importantly it is not an insult, saying someone is a potentially good mate on a subconscious level is a complement and I don't actually care what a bunch of puritanical virgins think, this is the exact reasoning that causes the birth rate to plummet in developed countries people that think they are to good for sex.
It does matter Stupid (you don't mind if I call you by your first name do you?).
Evolution is not 'a tendency'. Evolution is the change in a genome over successive generations. There are many different factors that play into evolution, such as fitness, genetic drift, and sexual selection. In human beings we are less controlled by such forces because we have consciousness and knowledge of how genetics works, so we can choose who we procreate and thus are able to direct our own evolution.
So, assuming that you live in a country that doesn't have arranged marriages- you will have to try and get a partner based on your personality, looks, intelligence etc. If you go around treating women like objects and making stupid ass remarks- you are actually less likely to procreate, not more.
Sex is not an emotion. It is an activity. One whose evolutionary purpose was to procreate, but now is used for many other purposes.
That may or may not be true, but what is true is you have the ability to control your behavior. So for example let's say you were to view a picture of a tall and beautiful woman on the internet and you find her sexually attractive, you don't have to come on to a post that really has nothing to do with sex and make it known to everyone how much you would like to bang her.
Now I know you are stupid, but are you stupid enough to think there is even a remote possibility that Anna Smrek would A) See this thread. B) See your comment and respond by DM'ing you to meet up so that she can have your baby? Because if you are not that stupid then your biological urges, evolution, procreation and whatever other lame excuse you want to say for getting on here and sexualizimg her does not matter in the slightest. It doesn't serve any purpose other than to spread your toxic and childish view of women. And that is entirely your choice. 'Evolution' didn't force you to act like a chud.
Did you ever stop to think that the other heterosexual males who don't treat women like objects are the product of evolution just like you are? We probably have similar responses to seeing beautiful women as you do, but we are able to control ourselves and not act like misogynistic assholes because we are adults and in control of our emotions.
See Stupid, this is what I'm talking about. Women have been saying for years that hey want to be treated like human beings and not JO material for man-babies, but because YOU can't comprehend why they would feel that way- you conclude that their feelings don't matter. Perhaps if you were a sexually desirable creature, and women treated "men" the way you treat them, you might understand why being treated like a piece of meat is annoying and gross. But you are not and they are not. The problem comes when you are unable to look beyond your own base instincts and put yourself in other peoples shoes.
LMFAO, you kill me son. Every time I think you can't possibly get any stupider, you type another sentence. 🤣
I started reading this but then I remembered I don't care what you think and this is definitely AI generated so I definitely don't care, goodbye.
Proud to remain ignorant. Let me guess, Trump supporter right?
