When they say “don’t kink shame!” but shame normal, healthy men for being attracted to normal, healthy women.

But to your deeper point: agreed. Countercultures only exist when there’s a healthy normal culture that they can exist on the backs of. When the counterculture wins, like it did in the states back in, I don’t know, the 1970s, “rebellion” becomes cringe and gross.

Maybe Victorian England had the proper balance.

I think the problem is all digital pron being the source for the extreme sexual degeneracy around us.

No one wants to attend an orgy sponsored by Citibank - For this, I cannot NOT follow you. I feel a kindred soul in your writing.

Correct

It is inarguably healthy to be sexually attracted to traditionally beautiful women. Feel no shame. You are in the right! Thanks for the article, Dan. Looking forward to more.

Thank you, frend. I am lucky to be a very healthy man.

The democratization of kink leads to excesses among those least capable of handling them - agree the elite aspect is part of the appeal of such degen things and it's nonexistent now.

The healthy amount of degeneracy might not be zero, but it's certainly less than has been the case in your lifetime.

Internet porn is full bore whenever. It literally comes through a tube.

Your stylized "No" is amusing to me. I grew up Catholic in the deep south. My reaction was an immediate "of course" - perversion was part of what defined growing up repressed, shamed, and horny in such a society.

One scandal after another over the years would demonstrate that we were not unusual, that the adults proselytizing the lifestyle were the sickest, most perfectly distilled examples of perverts of anyone.

disgusting. You observe the sick cycle with pride. shame on you catholics, like you who would look the other way from the prolific grooming and abuse of children in your own church then just as soon turn around and baselessly accuse trans people of doing worse.

Good choice. Rebecca Romijn back in the day was glorious.

Well Dan, seems like what you had thought to be a think piece amounts basically to mundane anecdotal hogwash, the thesis of which being:“boohoo me no horny” about some swimwear model who didnt manage to make your peepee hard like that generic blonde from the 90s. Can’t help but notice that your standards of what you will accept as beautiful (quite apart from “sexy”) are incredibly confined and eurocentric. The problem with your perspective is that you cannot fathom or tolerate that other people exist and do not see things the way that you do while still participating in healthy sexuality. You’re just a racist porn addicted loser who never would be invited into either a counter culture or a popular culture in the first place spending your time whining about how the tits arent big enough anymore and calling that a return to classical ideals. i have to laugh at that. maybe you should try taling to a real woman and watch as all your immature and objectifying notions fall away if you have any capacity still for anything like love that isnt mere domination and status play. I am all for vivacious and healthy sexuality, but this was not about that, this was appalling to read. You’re an ogre of man.
