  No, I’m pretty sure that people who use each other for solely selfish purposes is a primary symptom of sociopathy.

    Thus hiring someone to fix your plumbing or do your yard work is sociopathy?

    Also two people can have mutually enjoyable sex without “love”.

    You’ve got a weird take.

      Hiring someone to fix your plumbing is an exchange of goods and services for money. If you think that has any similarities to sex then maybe you are more familiar with prostitutes than you are with love.

      I hate to break it to you but people who like to have sex with each other on a regular basis without exchanging money or other favors, they probably love each other but they’re so scared of the word love because for some reason in recent decades the word love has been become taboo.

        You deleted your other reply I already replied to, so I’m pasting what I wrote here:

        Note this claim isn’t about sex. It’s a broad claim that any circumstances where one party uses another for selfish purpose is sociopathy.

        Since getting someone to fix a clogged toilet is using someone for selfish purposes, your claim would make that sociopathy. I think that’s absurd, and thus your claim is false.

        Citations needed. You just made this up and I see no reason to take your word for it that people are scared of the word love, nor that love has become taboo. Furthermore, many people have regular sex without feeling love.

        You’re taking your world view and beliefs and claiming they’re far more universal than they are.

    No, it isn’t. Only in online pop psychology.

    And it’s not what’s happening for the people involved either.

    This ain’t Sunday school 🤣
