Romans found it distasteful, and iirc it’s a thing for machismo-addled men in Italy to this day. (Berlusconi’s administration lead to spikes in DV/SA - when your president is gleefully fucking teenage girls, it tends to damage your society. One could look into how Trump has made outright expressions of misogyny acceptable again…)
A lot of these alt right weirdos subscribe to this weird Roman sexual ethics. It’s all about who’s in charge, who the sex is for. It’s okay to penetrate “lessers” - for Nick Fuentes to top his puppy femboys or for Alex Jones’s phone to be loaded with porn of trans women. The aspect of power and hate adds to the sex for them. (In a world where LGBT people don’t have employment protections, there’s a lot more “trade” too…)
They also see this as the way that everyone else understands sex too. Giving head to someone is submitting to them, and men don’t submit to women.

Unironically: the patriarchy. “Women and sex exist to serve men’s interests” thus, pleasuring a women in a manner most often associated with that of a man being pleasured by a women (oral sex aka blowjobs here) is ceding too much power to women.
My thoughts exactly.

Yes, agreed, but “thousand year prohibition” is so specific. Like that must refer to something, and I’m really curious about what.

It’s more insidious than that. They want to create a cast of men who have no sense of community or connection to anyone. Removing this connection makes it easier to radicalize these young men. You replace their sense of connection to their community and family with a connection to the patriarchy or dear leader or some other religious figure.
