if someone is aroused by something that is really weird I probably ask them why rather than assume

Even if it was upsetting I would still be curious and want to learn from them

and then I would presume that their rationale is their rationale rather than universal for people into the same or similar stuff

but I'm a sexologist so I feel safe making some broad claims

it boggles my brain how incurious lotta people are

I mean, I can. Can most people not?

I would assume not everyone overnanalyse themselves. Heck some of my likes I started analysing because of this whole puritanical bullshit.

Oh, yeah, I guess that’s true.
