Comment on The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie

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

  You’re shifting the topic. You said,

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

    Would you fuck somebody who was utterly repulsive to you, unattractive, horrible personality, and you hate them? No, probably not. You fuck people you love. If the word “love” scares you then that’s your problem. Sex is the ultimate consummation of attraction and love.

      There’s a wide range of options between utterly repulsive and loved. That’s a huge excluded middle. Do you think people don’t fuck on the first date?
