I think many people are either NTs or try to become NT, and NTs are fussy about looks and social status.


WtF? Now a days? Uh, you mean.. forever? It's not an NT thing, it's a human thing. People see attractive people and have biological responses in their genitals. It's completely normal, not some strange modern phenomenon exclusive to a small subset of people.


It is an NT thing, and it is impossible to have biological responses in the genitals. Genitals have no neurons, and it is the brain, not the genitals, that is responsible for sex and all the "biological" responses to sexual attraction. Which also means that if a human doesn't have the NT biological responses that closely links sexual attraction to responses in genitals, then it simply won't happen. Like is the case in many NDs. And in virtually all other species too. Sex is typically an activity linked to mating periods, and unless the male feels the female is receptive, he won't get any sexual urges, and no "biological" responses. Which means the response is not biological.

Exactly. It wasn't long ago that sex was only allowed in marriage and you couldn't dress like a whore (without getting shunned). You also couldn't select between 1000s of photos of potential partners online, rather you had to pick one you had IRL contact with. I don't think the modern world is more successful than the past. After all, divorces have sky-rocketed and many more people are unwillingly single, which I see as a good sign that things worked better in the past.

Methods have changed, but this is not so different from flashing that has existed for a long time.

Good point. Which also shows that sexual attraction really isn't necessary for having a sex life, because if it was, we all would stop having sex as we aged, and this doesn't happen for many people.

The real function of sexual attraction (for NTs) is that it leads to sex when dating, which builds attachment. However, for many NDs, attachment cannot be built that way, so sexual attraction has no meaning for these people.

Can you please stop talking as if your experience were common to all neurodiverse people? I've been telling you that for years.
I do agree about the fact that thinking somone is good looking doesn't necessarily have to result in a (e)reaction of the genitals though.

Most of that stuff and more is extremely common as norms in modern day life, especially in the gay community amongst my peers. Maybe looks don't matter to YOU, but there are plenty of people who have been in relationships for 10-20+ years who both hit the gym regularly and eat healthily because they have agreements with one another to remain fit & sexually attractive. Normal is whatever it is for a particular community, relationship, or person. Your views don't apply to everyone else, only yourself and people who share them.

Allowed by who? The sex police? Government? Church? WTF? Marriage & monogamy is a very short lived experiment in human history. Who's to say it was more successful? Maybe if you're only measuring by divorce rates. How many people stayed with abusive partners? Or had sexless marriages? Or put up with cheating? Or weren't attracted to their now fat partner? Or disliked their partner's unwillingness or inability to work and provide for them? Just because marriages stayed together doesn't mean they were good marriages. IMO, people having the freedom to do w/e they want w/o so much societal pressure to get married and stay that way is a great thing. More and more people are opting for some form of non-monogamous open relationship, too, which will likely prevent a lot of divorces for those who do decide to get married.

Uh, yeah, I'm with Peacesells on this one. Wtf? I definitely have a biological response in my genitals when I see someone sexually attractive and my dick gets hard & I want to f**k them. That's certainly not all in my brain. And I'm not NT.

What can be norm is dictated by evolution (but not "the survival of the fittest" bullsh*t), everything else is just a statistical error. Human children need emotional stability to grow, that means love of their parents for many years (10+). It's impossible when one changes their partner often, so such behaviour will never be "normal". Of course attractiveness is important, but to keep the current partner happy, not to get as many sexual partners as possible. Only love is and always be normal (unless all humans will become brainless d***s).

Why are you excluding the possibility of two parents raising a child together while also each having multiple sexual partners? :?

MOST people don't have sex in front of their kids, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I had a conversation with a straight friend from the beach yesterday. He and his gf of 10 years are trying to make their first baby. He still sleeps with other women, she knows about it and is okay with it, and they have a great relationship that works for them. I'm not sure if she sleeps with other men or not - I didn't ask. Many people are finding that open relationships, with clearly agreed to ground rules, work better for them than monogamous ones. This is a lesson many are learning from the LGBT community. "Traditional marriage," works so well that ~1/2 of them end in divorce. But when people accept the fact that they're in love with their partners, but still into hooking up with other people for pleasure, then they find a balance that works for them & life goes on just fine. It's not for everyone, but for many, being monogamish is plenty better than breaking up or getting divorced.

Traditional marriage half of the times ends in divorce because people are not serious enough about it and are accustomed to a society where almost everything is disponsable and nothing is worth a fix.

Why do people need multiple sexual partners? If one needs sexual toys just for pleasure, there are dolls. Nowadays they can be more good-looking than real people, they don't complain, they don't attach. Then why not? Maybe because it's not about sex, but dominance? Maybe because it's all about their ego, not pure sexual pleasure? Why do you think divorce (when love is over) is worse than cheating your partner, just to keep something that is dead already (why it dies is completely different matter, many people mistake sexual attraction with love, and that ends any marriage very quickly).

I didn't notice ealier:

Why some people need multiple partners and others don't is entirely an individual thing. We have, however, as a species, evolved to accommodate multiple sexual partners in a short period of time. This is why there are different types of sperm cells that behave like a football team in the race for the egg.. there are blocker sperm designed to attack/block other men's sperm in order to allow the fast swimmers to break through and get to the egg first. Survival of the fittest applies even to our reproductive cells.

I never said my genitals have eyes. I said there's a response in my genitals when I see someone I'm attracted to.

No, we evolved to be monogamic for long periods of time, that's why we fall in love, and it usually lasts for at least few years.

Why do you conclude it's for other men's sperm? It's also useful for picking the best of the best from one partner.

So you need BRAIN to have any response to visual stimuli in your genitals. QED

Science has concluded that these cells attack other men's sperm who have recently fornicated with the same female in order to give one's own sperm the best chance of fertilizing the egg. It's not my conclusion. It's known biological fact.

We need our brains for everything. What's your point? :? That doesn't mean that males don't experience physical reactions in their genitals - unless, of course, you're impotent.
