Summary
In this week's episode, we discuss the controversial topic of whether or not human sexuality actually works the way we think it does, and how it may not be as simple as we all think it is. We discuss the work of Dr. Yasmin M. Ayla, who recently published a piece on the research she conducted on human sexuality, and why we may not all be attracted to the opposite sex as we think we are.

hello simone today we are going to be talking about a very very fun topic which is does human
00:00:08.680
sexuality actually work the way we think it does ayla did a piece on this recently where she was
00:00:14.100
digging through the research and she came to a conclusion very similar to our own which is the
00:00:18.980
only reason we see sexual orientation i.e preference for specific genders as the predominant aspect of
00:00:26.320
human sexuality is because of weird political stuff that happened in the 80s and if you actually
00:00:32.020
look at the data that is a fairly bad way to divide humanity i mean i would add it's also
00:00:37.140
from mostly male researchers doing this and men do tend to have a more sex oriented sexuality so that
00:00:45.540
makes sense so we're gonna go through a lot of her research on this we're gonna go through the idea
00:00:51.680
that she's gonna promote in this which is she calls it like bdsm sexuality but it's more like
00:00:57.200
a sexuality that is more focused on which partner is the dominant or submissive partner than focused
00:01:02.380
on the gender of the partner as we pointed out historically this appears to be the primary
00:01:07.060
form of sexuality in your average woman not every woman right the same way that not every man is you
00:01:12.300
know attracted to women right but on average it's it's fair to argue per the research that malcolm
00:01:17.880
did that women exist more along the lines of dominant submission orientation than they do to
00:01:24.940
like attraction to man versus woman which is more how it is for men yeah and now other people are
00:01:31.240
pulling out this data which i love and which we're gonna go into but this is really important
00:01:35.500
especially considering that especially for women bdsm oriented sexuality or like power dynamic
00:01:42.260
oriented sexuality is this pervasive because we are seeing what ayla alluded to in this in this
00:01:50.140
sub stack piece she did sort of a rise of the sex wars which she sort of sees as being a predecessor
00:01:55.200
or the the next thing after the woke wars where and we see this on all sides of the political spectrum
00:02:02.160
there are people including women who are like this is disgusting this is you know you know
00:02:09.540
violation of women's rights this is violent this is horrible and that is for the same reason why in
00:02:15.800
the past you would see many often predominantly male leaders being like gay sex is disgusting this is
00:02:23.060
wrong and that is because as you point out in the pragmatist guide to sexuality sexuality exists on a
00:02:28.620
like the way we react to things like sources of arousal is we're either aroused or we are disgusted
00:02:35.480
and so if you if you may be aroused by something or you could be disgusted by it and it's very hard
00:02:42.080
to not equate disgust with bad morals so despite the fact that many women are aroused by being
00:02:49.080
dominated the women who are disgusted by it just can't model that this could possibly be sexy to
00:02:54.740
someone yeah and i say not many women the vast majority of women are aroused by being dominated
00:03:00.660
yeah but in the sex wars people can't they can't they can't wrap their heads around that they're
00:03:05.380
like this it's impossible it's disgusting it's immoral i love the red pill like figured this out
00:03:10.360
and it was like their free pass to sex for like half a generation what an arbitrage play i mean it still
00:03:16.040
is though dominance among men or women one of the easiest things you can do if you're looking to get
00:03:21.560
partners is to to be the dominant person well especially because males have become less
00:03:27.260
dominant over time likely due to environmental pollutants but that's neither here nor there
00:03:32.280
let's go into the data on this and i'm skipping a bit into this because at the beginning she just
00:03:36.100
had a bunch of stats that i don't think were relevant and we can hit them at the end if we
00:03:38.920
want to or we have time it was about other stuff it wasn't necessarily about yeah when it comes to
00:03:44.520
solid bdsm you start to see a similar bimodal distribution of interest the most common
00:03:49.360
relationship people have towards bdsm is either completely uninterested or extremely interested
00:03:54.260
there isn't much of a middle in fact in my data someone's bdsm interest explains more structured
00:03:59.520
variation in their sexuality than whether they're gay or straight and here is a very interesting graph
00:04:05.760
which is both gender's relative strengths factors and the variance explained by each of these so this is
00:04:12.680
looking at if you're looking at one thing that arouses somebody how explanatory is that going to be of all
00:04:18.180
the other things that arouse that person the the on a zero to ten graph bdsm is almost an eight
00:04:26.520
whereas gay to straight is only a 4.5 yeah that makes sense so it's not that bdsm is like somewhat
00:04:35.180
more indicative of somebody's actual sexual profile it is almost twice as indicative yeah and then if
00:04:42.320
you're looking at what actually comes between bdsm and gay straight is horror a horror related
00:04:47.300
horror horror h-o-r-r-o-r is more indicative of somebody's sexual profile if they are interested
00:04:55.800
in horror related content what is horror related content guru porn would be an example of that
00:05:02.560
that's super niche horror would likely be an example of that again super niche oh okay but okay yeah
00:05:07.660
because that's not as pervasive but it is very predictive murder would be an example of that which
00:05:11.700
is common in a lot of things monster related stuff would likely be an example of that okay okay okay
00:05:17.200
so yeah a lot a lot of stuff that's in a lot of form okay after gay straight the next one that's
00:05:23.160
almost the same as gay straight in terms of explanation profile is incest slash age play
00:05:29.260
after that again almost as good is gender play and then the the lowest is sensuality which is
00:05:36.500
actually a core part of like women's sexual profiles what even is that and keep in mind this
00:05:41.160
graph is not about the popularity of each of these it's about their explanatory values to the variants
00:05:47.800
of other arousal parts of the person in other words how predictive is it of or how much does it
00:05:53.560
correlate with other things almost kind of like you know going back to the episode that you did on how
00:06:00.300
political ideology sets clustered yeah but those said that anything within the cluster is a good
00:06:07.680
indication of everything else yeah you're saying this one thing is a much better indication than
00:06:12.000
anything else yeah yeah it's like if you could tell just from a person's abortion stance well no no
00:06:16.920
reverse it so what what the study did that's like this is that being a democrat in this study was
00:06:22.960
extremely predictive of this huge set of ideologies which is pretty crazy and that's what you're seeing
00:06:27.360
here is is being into bdsm is hugely predictive of a whole bunch of other ideologies meaning that you
00:06:33.580
can if you know people are into bdsm fairly accurately infer a lot of things about their
00:06:39.100
sexuality the same way where knowing someone is a democrat or sorry especially a democrat can enable
00:06:45.600
you to infer a lot of ideologies yeah but very different because we're talking about one thing versus
00:06:52.400
other things so i wouldn't go too deep on that okay yeah okay the above graph is a result of factor
00:06:58.340
analysis basically a process that finds natural clusters in the data for example the classic big
00:07:03.580
five personality test was built off of factor analysis basically they ask people a bunch of
00:07:07.440
questions and then notice the questions like are you the life of a party were really predictive of
00:07:12.740
answers to a bunch of other questions like i like adventure i enjoy chatting with strangers
00:07:17.540
that's if you know somebody is the quote-unquote life of the party you can make a bunch of better
00:07:22.060
guesses about other parts of them in a way that is less true for questions like they like cake more
00:07:27.800
than pie and and what she's saying here is the they like cake more than pie is they like males more
00:07:32.900
than females or females more than males and the i'm the life of the party is the are you into bdsm or
00:07:37.760
horror um if we explain the same process to a bunch of questions about what arouses you someone's
00:07:44.920
attitudes towards bdsm emerge as the most distinct and defining cluster people who like it people who
00:07:51.520
dislike it are distinct and different from each other more so than they are along any other axis
00:07:57.600
and here you can see just how far apart they are from this screen plot i put here the sexual interest
00:08:03.320
spectrum into men versus women is not very different from other types of sexual interests it's just more
00:08:08.760
visible the category of gender as a sexual interest is a public thing heavily ritualized by culture
00:08:15.380
this makes sense since males and females having fetishes for each other's bodies results in
00:08:20.920
reproduction and this has gotten real popular and become a wholesome cornerstone of civilization and
00:08:26.080
media and identity i love it she describes males and females have a fetish for each other's bodies
00:08:30.600
and it got popular and it's a cornerstone of civilization and identity you swap out just the
00:08:36.380
type of body that goes through the ritual marriage and so we get the concept of sexual orientation as
00:08:41.960
distinct from other types of sexual interests there's no quote-unquote marriage concept for
00:08:46.480
other fetishes and the core reason of this is john money we haven't done the episode on him yet but we
00:08:51.940
have filmed it and he is a monster and he was the one who invented this concept it is not a natural
00:08:56.880
thing to think you might say that gendered sexual orientation is distinct for reasons besides social
00:09:03.620
orientation such as it wholly defines who you can have a satisfying sexual relationship with
00:09:08.800
this is obvious from accounts of gay people who didn't know they were gay trying to make straight
00:09:13.120
relationships work quote anything physical felt forced like i was an actor playing a role i never
00:09:18.400
understood why people liked kissing or sex for me it was uncomfortable at best painful at worst i was
00:09:23.560
never attracted to men i was just with them because it was expected but you can find near identical
00:09:29.660
accounts from people with other types of sexual orientations too bdsm as a sexual orientation
00:09:34.920
i thought there was something off about my sexuality since high school because i didn't get turned on
00:09:40.660
when hooking up with my partners i thought maybe i was gay but it was the same with the girl i dated
00:09:46.480
i was attracted to her and enjoyed physical contact with her but i couldn't get turned on the way i did
00:09:51.560
when i was fantasizing about dark things alone in my bed i did get turned on in a few in-person
00:09:57.280
situations a girl holding me down and kissing me a guy fingering me on the dance floor while i
00:10:02.480
squirmed away and eventually i realized that's what i was into once i got comfortable enough
00:10:07.540
telling people what i was into it took a while i started having good sex i am not disgusted by
00:10:13.260
vanilla sex but it is a similar vibe to cuddling for me and can be awkward because i am simply not
00:10:18.340
turned on by even the hottest person imaginable gently going down on me and then another person said
00:10:23.360
i occasionally want vanilla sex with people i really love but i don't get turned on by it
00:10:28.040
this is so the rising sex wars i think is super super damaging especially to women because
00:10:35.860
already it's it's a really big problem i think that many women don't realize that they could have
00:10:42.000
incredibly satisfying sex if they were just aware of this dynamic yeah like i cannot emphasize based on
00:10:49.520
the data that you found in the practice guide to sexuality how many women are having these experiences
00:10:54.520
where they are having vanilla loving sex with their partners and they're just like i'm not into
00:10:59.740
this at all well i guess i just you know and they're like well you know women don't really they're not
00:11:04.220
into sex and they don't realize that like and you know ayla describes this in in the blog post too
00:11:09.260
she's like you know i i didn't you know i had a little bit of like sort of the vanilla experience to
00:11:13.160
begin with and then but like she she just thought she didn't have a sex drive well oh no and this is why
00:11:18.940
it's very important to educate young women about this or they can end up thinking they're gay when
00:11:24.000
they're not gay um same with young men they can end up thinking they're trans when they're not trans
00:11:28.260
when you do not explain normal sexual profiles and here i'm not defining normal by what christians
00:11:35.140
accept or what society accept by actual sexual profile by frequency at least within our current
00:11:40.220
system yeah you end up with people making really bad decisions about who they are and their life
00:11:46.320
choices yeah at worst and and at best you have people who live their entire lives with no sexual
00:11:52.500
satisfaction yeah despite maybe being you know happily married and having sex multiple times a
00:11:57.580
week can you imagine yeah yeah no it's it's honestly a really sad outcome and these god these women who
00:12:05.980
go into this like anti-porn anti-kink rants and everything well yeah because that that so like to all
00:12:11.580
the women that those women who are fully disgusted by this and who think it's morally bad like it's not
00:12:16.440
like they're they're pretending there's not like they're hiding something or they they know the truth
00:12:20.360
they don't know the truth okay maybe some are i want to think that they don't know the truth
00:12:24.560
but now this is like so the women who haven't yet discovered that their sexuality is as ayla calls it
00:12:30.140
bd bd smexuality are are thinking well i better never ever get involved with that because that is
00:12:37.820
that is me being hurt by people yeah me being victimized and hurt and traumatized and and and then
00:12:46.220
they never discover it and they live sexually i honestly believe that the women who like freak
00:12:51.380
out and go on rants about this it reminds me of how we keep fighting like you know like republican
00:12:56.580
who are like anti-sex anti-porn guys like in public bathrooms having sex was random men you know oh you
00:13:02.940
think they're secretly into it i don't know i mean like keep in mind like a lot of the men who
00:13:06.760
are super anti-gay were are like literally just from a sexual orientation standpoint very very disgusted
00:13:13.820
by male bodies i think the majority of the men who are the most anti-gay are gay like this is
00:13:19.760
something we keep seeing in the data right like the thing is is that if you're actually just like
00:13:24.920
grossed out by men or like turned off by choking or whatever um and you especially if you have a
00:13:30.060
long-term partner and it's not like an active threat to you when you're going out and hooking up
00:13:34.020
with people you just don't think about it that much if the people who are constantly thinking about
00:13:39.760
it and needing to suppress it you are the ones who constantly talk about it which is i think why
00:13:44.820
you see us where we're like oh this is curious but like we just don't have that much of a horse
00:13:48.360
in this race we're like you know don't screw up your kids but you know whatever whereas the people
00:13:52.860
who get like really passionate and go on these big tirades about like men choke us and i'm like you
00:13:58.800
are thinking a lot about men choking you i don't know of like and as we've pointed out women actually
00:14:03.900
have a your average woman like if you're looking at the percentage of women who prefer this more
00:14:09.860
women are turned on by this than turned off by this yeah and the thing and psa as you point out in
00:14:15.180
the prime which is guide to sexuality which is free to our patreon premium subscribers audiobook and ebook
00:14:20.960
it you really like as much as that might turn you on you really shouldn't like in terms of these
00:14:26.300
sexually related deaths out there auto asphyxiation is you shouldn't it's it's dangerous yeah like there
00:14:32.920
there are other ways that you can get satisfaction almost certainly so please be careful if that does
00:14:39.400
turn you on because you know danger anyway anyway to quote one of her friends who anonymously talked
00:14:45.540
to her about this she goes i occasionally have vanilla sex with people i really love but i still
00:14:49.400
don't get turned on by it either i make sex purely about connecting with eroticism or i think kinky
00:14:54.900
thoughts and get turned on that way so they're they're having vanilla sex and they're like i love it she
00:15:00.320
quotes this as a non-friend part of me wonders if this is her just writing as an anon friend
00:15:04.720
she asked for quotes yeah true no i think she really did this research if you swapped out well
00:15:12.260
obviously she did she has huge sample sets this was done on a sample but i mean in terms of the
00:15:16.240
quotes she included in there she she she really worked hard to source those if you swapped out kinky
00:15:21.960
stuff for gay stuff this would be indistinguishable from accounts of gay people trying to navigate life
00:15:26.800
before they figured out what they were yes and then she says and i like this because she talks
00:15:31.500
about it from personal experience i am one of these tales i've been into bdsm type stuff as long
00:15:36.460
as i can remember some of my earliest memories four or five years old were proto-sexual fantasies was
00:15:41.780
bondage well before i had any exposure to anything sexual whatever i was in denial about it for years and
00:15:48.280
my first relationship was vanilla after the initial novelty was my boyfriend wore off so did our sex life
00:15:54.300
entirely i thought i had simply had a low sex drive sex seemed like a chore i figured that's just the
00:16:00.640
way sex was for everyone women weren't supposed to like sex that much am i right but it turns out
00:16:05.380
actually no it wasn't that i didn't like sex it was that i didn't like vanilla sex and this is where
00:16:10.700
i'd push back against this narrative that we sometimes see on the right which is that an individual
00:16:15.820
gets corrupted by kinky stuff and formerly they were able to be turned on by normal things and now that
00:16:22.400
they've engaged in kinky stuff they no longer get turned on by normal things when if you actually
00:16:26.840
look at the data and we talk about this in the pragmatist guide to sexuality what often actually
00:16:30.700
happens is an individual is not particularly turned on by normal things and then they finally
00:16:35.680
figure out how to activate arousal in themselves through kinky stuff and without that they never
00:16:40.680
would have had an arousing sexual life and where this creates problems is around individuals who
00:16:47.360
grew up never being exposed to anything that significantly aroused them and then they finally
00:16:52.380
find something that significantly arouses them uh you know in their teens or as an adult and they
00:16:57.640
didn't build up the resistance to those types of things and so they end up having major problems
00:17:02.560
around it um but it's not because the thing is kinky it is because they were never exposed to anything
00:17:08.360
that really aroused them in the way that other people were aroused by things all the time
00:17:12.020
once i started engaging in kinky relationships surprise i suddenly had a vicious sex drive sex
00:17:17.880
became bonding transcendent and wonderful the way everyone else had been talking about it finally
00:17:23.120
made sense nowadays i actually engage in exclusively in kinky relationships and here there's a graph she
00:17:30.560
has of a non-consent interest score by age of first interest and what you can see is the non-consent
00:17:38.140
whether it is you know cis males cis females etc non-cis way stronger and more powerful if you
00:17:46.580
first were interested in it before the age of five wow whoa man people have good memories and then
00:17:52.760
stronger still if it's like before the age of 10 and then it drops down a lot you don't see as much
00:17:58.560
you know if you get if you get to it between like 15 and 20 and and as she says here for most fetishes
00:18:04.700
in my data the earlier the age of onset of a fetish the more extreme the fetish tends to be people who
00:18:10.480
report bdsm related fetishes starting at the age of five or earlier were the most into it this is
00:18:16.320
usually well before exposure to porn or likely anything sexual at all this is good evidence i think
00:18:22.300
for bdsm and sexual orientations in general not just gender debased ones being innate or otherwise
00:18:27.820
quite early and i'll note here you know i've mentioned you know where i have non-normative
00:18:32.400
arousal patterns they started way before puberty for me like at least half a decade before puberty
00:18:40.060
for me and when i'm not five i how do you do you remember i went to puberty super late i went to
00:18:47.760
puberty at like 16 and a half um like super late but the point here being is is before that when i would
00:18:55.460
you know lay in bed and create fantasy worlds and create you know stuff like that like the the the
00:19:02.220
things that later i recognized were arousal were major features in these worlds but at the time i
00:19:10.220
didn't contextualize them that way of course not which i think shows that these are not things that
00:19:14.740
are created by you know environments when you're a kid certainly nothing happened to me when i was a
00:19:20.140
kid i think a lot of it is actually genetic and cultural yeah to be honest and like we're not
00:19:25.600
allowed to talk about that we're not and we 100 see this in like japan like they prefer phenotypically
00:19:33.040
young partners yeah and erotic materials across country yeah and like the auntie porn that we kept
00:19:38.560
having to take off that one site that i worked at early in india where they like older women who show
00:19:44.780
it was like like armpits and just sort of yeah just middle-aged women like not really that would
00:19:51.620
be no interest to me at all like yeah it was it was it was very strange but it was clearly a thing
00:19:56.140
for some people and i think it was clustered genetically yeah yeah and and that's okay like i
00:20:01.640
know that we're for whatever reason i'll talk about this but i think a lot of this is just genetic
00:20:05.420
yeah yeah you do you you know whatever now this may seem tangential or weird to talk about that
00:20:12.560
usually the things that later become fetishes become things that people get interested in long
00:20:17.840
before they go through puberty but it actually matters a lot if you are for example worried about
00:20:22.740
your kids becoming you know sexual deviants i think the perception is oh they're gonna see some weird
00:20:29.180
you know website and that's gonna turn them on to all this stuff when if you actually read forums
00:20:35.860
around people who have uh paraphilias or fetishes what it almost always is is oh yeah there was that
00:20:41.880
power rangers episode or that episode of a cartoon when i was a kid or that um you know how many
00:20:48.100
people were awakened by one of the spy girls episodes is is a major joke are you kidding me if there was a
00:21:03.520
show that truly questioned the purpose of a cartoon it was totally spies
00:21:08.940
great what are we gonna do now i mean seriously what the is this cartoon one can't help but ask if
00:21:19.280
totally spies was fetish fuel in disguise if the people who made this cartoon were subtly telegraphing
00:21:26.680
their fetishes i mean yeah that's quite the bizarre accusation but trust me there is some interesting
00:21:33.580
evidence that supports that claim really really interesting
00:21:38.680
there's bondage feet schoolgirls mummification buried in sand wigs life draining shrinking muscles
00:22:02.580
skirts sneezing bondage swimsuits cross-dressing sweating face swap covered in mud covered in gum
00:22:12.160
brainwashing wrestling bondage showering transformation furries towels head enlargement
00:22:20.840
rule 63 cheerleading entanglement ripped clothes weight gain forced feeding giant girls tattoos frozen
00:22:30.960
made outfits cat girl outfits aging bondage and shrinking clothes so do you see where i'm coming
00:22:39.080
from but also seriously like what is with the french who made that show like totally spies is very
00:22:45.240
sus for a children's show or you know the people think oh they're they're going to be turned into
00:22:49.420
furries by you know going to a furry convention or hanging out when furries when instead it's it's
00:22:55.460
watching the disney's robin hood which turns somebody into a furry this matters because
00:23:00.840
it goes against the intuition a lot of people have and it causes people to attempt to shield
00:23:07.640
their kids from things that aren't actually relevant in the development of paraphilias
00:23:11.900
although i should place a special caveat with furries here because there actually are communities of
00:23:17.280
furries that become common in schools and recruit kids that don't have this as a paraphilia
00:23:21.200
but are just normal kids and like pretending to be animals as you can see in the recent videos we've had
00:23:26.200
on ours our kids have liked wearing you know animal ears recently and pretending to be like a fox or a
00:23:31.260
cat that is a normal phase kids go through and sometimes other kids can psyops them into very
00:23:36.600
weird beliefs using urban monocultural ideas or especially if they happen to be autistic or something
00:23:41.420
um but here i'm specifically talking about paraphilias and not the predatory communities
00:23:46.780
when you can't do anything about it if you contextualize it as deviant it leads to deviant actions
00:23:51.440
and that's such an important point yeah your your arousal patterns are not an endorsement
00:23:56.260
of those things and i think for a lot of women it's also really hard to navigate
00:24:01.300
bd smexuality i'm just using ayla's coinage because it's fun because women don't condone
00:24:09.640
unauthorized surprise sex or even if they prefer it yeah even if they prefer it even if it really
00:24:17.220
turns them on like that doesn't mean it's okay that doesn't mean they want it to happen but it
00:24:21.300
does mean that in some scenarios where they may simulate it that it's really sexy for them i mean
00:24:28.020
so one thing that i'm wondering about though as i'm as i'm talking about this with you is there may
00:24:33.680
be a lot of guys like married guys who are listening to your podcast who are like well so i've only had
00:24:38.980
vanilla sex with my wife she's not very sexually adventurous at all and she has zero sex drive and
00:24:44.540
maybe they're wondering now like well crap like does my wife have a sex drive that she just doesn't
00:24:50.640
realize something you want to explore yeah i mean how do you explore it if she is like because i think
00:24:55.680
a lot of women are uncomfortable talking about their sexuality like what do you do books is she
00:25:00.860
reading how does she engage with sexuality in literature well our society has a lot of taboos
00:25:07.400
against women engaging with this publicly if your wife is reading 50 shades of gray that's that
00:25:13.200
giveaway that's a giveaway right like you might see this as innocuous it's not innocuous that is
00:25:19.180
saying something fair if she is spending a lot of time in the monster effort part of the library
00:25:23.760
you know as i mentioned before you know one unique arousal pattern i've mentioned publicly is i i find
00:25:29.480
vampires really hot like before i went everyone thinks vampires are hot no no not everyone does really
00:25:35.780
only a few i remember west virginia was like the cultural hot is this like a person yeah i remember
00:25:43.040
vampire movies are super big but i guess in like white people territory never mind so maybe yeah
00:25:47.940
maybe it's yeah no i think it's like a white person thing maybe but like i vampires and werewolves i was
00:25:53.460
like every other book and and and even though you know i hadn't gone through puberty you know these
00:25:58.660
were books i was getting from the the vampire and werewolf section of the aisle which means they
00:26:03.700
definitely had like sexual undertones right yeah and the question is is why are people doing this
00:26:09.160
like why are they engaging with this stuff even before puberty right like and i think that that's
00:26:13.360
also really important for people to contextualize yeah yeah a lot of girls especially when they're
00:26:18.500
engaging with this content it's before they actually start to feel arousal when they are reading
00:26:23.920
their first you know vampire stories or their first whatever it is that turns them on right
00:26:29.300
gosh yeah it's crazy how young kids learn about vampires i mean our kids know everything about
00:26:34.520
vampire and zombie lore and you got very mad did you know there's like a zombie movie now
00:26:40.920
that's like yeah so this i don't know it came out a few years ago but it was like a movie for people
00:26:46.200
who like want to slowly eat other people wait what yeah yeah it's about a girl and a guy and it was
00:26:53.260
clearly like about the sexual undertones it's like a thing that came out like three or four
00:26:58.840
years ago okay there were two of them it turns out it raw and bones and all but i guess i'm saying
00:27:06.040
like like like a team up whatever from bob's burger remember you let me watch night of the living dead
00:27:11.740
when i was eight so now i wake up every night standing in the middle of my room wait you still
00:27:15.860
get those yeah they're weirder now oh boy i think my subconscious fears and my butting sexuality
00:27:21.560
are getting all mixed up okay i don't want to hear so i think i'm being attacked by zombies
00:27:25.580
and i start screaming do you want to make out and i make out with it hmm i might just bunk with
00:27:32.420
gram and gramps okay enough gene louise you sleep in tina's room tina you're quarantined you sleep
00:27:38.420
alone we'll strap you down or something leave my lips free okay and i was like that's uh well hey
00:27:43.920
keep in mind it's not my fetish i i guess i just can't there's the zombie high which is a very
00:27:50.200
popular disney show yeah where you've got the zombies and then like cheerleaders and then they
00:27:56.440
added werewolves and then they added aliens i don't know what else they've added since because
00:28:00.800
why not yeah why not go for it no i mean asking why are people into this stuff when it's contextualized
00:28:07.400
in a romantic context is interesting yeah yeah for something so innate resistance to attempts to change
00:28:13.020
and for something that so radically affects the type of relationships that work it's odd that we
00:28:17.420
don't have a term for this type of sexuality so i'm going to refer to people with innate bdsm
00:28:22.660
preference as bdsm sexual pronounced bd smexuals bd smexuals oh wait sorry as people without a
00:28:31.700
tender sexual you know that's that's what she calls the other thing tender sexual versus bd smexuals
00:28:37.300
bd smexuals yeah i mean she says she apologizes for the cheesiness inventing words is her dumb stat
00:28:42.360
that i love that for ayla so we've gay straight and then we have tender sexuals and bd smexuals
00:28:49.120
but this is also important to know right like if you are entering a relationship and this is one of
00:28:54.600
the reasons why this whole like oh no women's into this no guy is into this all of this stuff
00:28:59.420
is bad like it's it's bad because it causes people to enter relationships with people they are
00:29:04.460
not sexually compatible with yeah can you imagine tender sexual marrying bd smexual that's that's it
00:29:09.660
it can't work out you you can't fake that kind of stuff it's no you can't like it does not work
00:29:16.260
and you're going to end up like you could i mean you can fake it like there's beards and stuff but
00:29:20.620
it's no different from living with a beard and i think it probably leads to a lot of divorces
00:29:24.300
in cultures that are uncomfortable talking about this i mean yeah unless you're like really happy to
00:29:29.140
have a sexless marriage which well yeah i mean i think that this is in part due to like if you look
00:29:35.240
at mormon culture or something right like i think a higher number of divorces might be due to them
00:29:39.740
just not talking about this yeah especially when bd smexuals are clearly a big not unusual was in
00:29:46.520
mormon culture yeah if you look at the books they're creating like twilight and stuff i'm like come on you
00:29:51.400
guys like i know i know what you guys see what's going on yeah what's going on but what's sad is that
00:29:56.060
there may be like you may have two bd smexuals married but because this is such a taboo thing
00:30:02.460
it's almost like two two gay people in a straight relationship but like not realizing they can just
00:30:10.520
be gay together you know it yeah sad why the porn debate is stupid in the sex wars i am increasingly
00:30:19.460
viewing as the successor of the woke wars many tender sexual feminists are very upset about how
00:30:25.540
quote-unquote degrading porn is women are spit on slapped and choked how bad and offensive this does
00:30:31.700
look pretty bad if you're tender sexual really gay people looked pretty bad and offensive to
00:30:37.060
heterosexual people for a lot of history but i think they failed to realize that a large minority of
00:30:41.920
women who are bd sexual for whom bd sm is just a deep part of their sexuality as lesbianism is to
00:30:49.200
lesbians and this is more of a female or submissive thing than a male i would note here if you go by a
00:30:56.940
list statistics on the number of women who would fall into this bd sexual category uh it would be
00:31:01.880
way higher than the proportion of men who are born same-sex attracted men's sexuality is more responsive
00:31:07.560
to general sluttiness while women are overwhelmingly at least a little into power dynamics and i noted this
00:31:12.120
before like men are not as captured by this as women are so if i'm putting a graph on screen here this
00:31:19.340
is how erotic do you find being the sub in females you see a huge extremely here in and and for men
00:31:26.140
you know even even in terms of not you just don't see like men are just not that they don't care as
00:31:30.860
much yeah how erotic do you find being the dom with males you find like so to get an idea so for women
00:31:37.040
who get really turned on by being the sub you're looking at near 50 for men who like really being
00:31:43.340
the dom you're looking at 25 it was just a way lower number and again this is why i always get
00:31:48.280
so frustrated by people who are like oh well you know you know clearly men are forcing this on women
00:31:55.500
i'm like look at the stats lady well and also it this just to to go back to stuff that you cover a lot
00:32:01.340
in the pragmatist guide to sexuality this this makes evolutionary sense that men really wouldn't need
00:32:06.420
to care that much about power dynamic because the thing that would ensure their survival was making
00:32:11.060
sure that the thing they had sex with was capable of producing offspring yes and for women you know
00:32:17.360
you the thing that ensured their survival was ensuring that the thing that they had sex with
00:32:21.340
was powerful and didn't kill them and didn't kill them yeah i mean yeah well no that's more common than
00:32:28.520
you would think you know yeah given the number of villages that were raided and stuff like that and
00:32:32.540
we talk about this anyway yeah yeah so being being kind of turned on by the raider who's coming into
00:32:37.420
your village and you know doing naughty things is probably better than you resisting to the death
00:32:42.200
right well and i and i think that this is in part why you see this instinct in women as we've seen
00:32:46.560
to welcome aggressive immigrant populations and pretend like they're a complete non-issue when they
00:32:52.700
very clearly are oh that never occurred to me but you could be onto something there that's dark
00:32:58.300
yeah no it is dark they are betraying their people and their their future and their potential children
00:33:05.260
their village being raided survival instinct kicking in yeah they're like oh yeah come on raiders i'm a
00:33:11.660
big fan of sharia law um you know so bad that's so bad the grooming games come on it's barely grooming
00:33:21.740
i'm just trying to make it by here yeah and then hayley goes on to say you don't need my grass to
00:33:27.900
know this look at the overwhelming popularity of groups like 50 shades of gray or the raunchy rough
00:33:32.960
dominance common in most popular women's erotica i always get so frustrated when feminists are like
00:33:38.080
men are disgusting have you seen the weird stuff that they have on their porn sites and i'm like
00:33:45.120
excuse me i've seen the weird stuff you women put in barnes and noble okay the the entire
00:33:51.460
monster effer aisle that is not something that you see at the same frequency even in the male
00:33:57.860
centers of debauchery what what are all these packets in here there's no room in the freezer
00:34:03.140
for this for this ice cream why is it blood for who's brad i thought you were dating a werewolf brad's
00:34:08.760
vampire brad's it's a different guy so now you're dating vampire okay um does he have a home where he can
00:34:14.680
keep his blood food does it have to be in our freezer because i want ice cream in my freezer i don't
00:34:19.240
want blood in my freezer i'm not being don't you dare accuse me of being small-minded i don't it's
00:34:24.700
my freezer does brad pay for the freezer no whose blood is this what are all these um these charges
00:34:32.060
they're all for like 70 and it's just a bunch of iron pills what for so evangeline's back with brad
00:34:41.440
the vampire and so i don't think i want to hear this but we're buying her iron tablets to make sure
00:34:47.960
she doesn't oh god can't we just say don't isn't there like a wait till i don't know never don't
00:34:54.900
ever don't ever let a vampire okay all right no i get it like be safe but also wow brad's a thousand
00:35:04.020
years old that's right yeah nope because i was talking to evangeline she was talking about history
00:35:09.680
class and she was talking about the inquisition and brad was there she's dating a thousand year old
00:35:14.920
i don't care if he doesn't look a thousand he's a thousand oh my god wait is chad chad's a dog is
00:35:20.400
chad three this isn't gonna work this is i'm being so cool as a dad in so many ways but if she's dating
00:35:25.860
an a thousand year old and she's also dating a three-year-old then we're gonna have to have
00:35:30.640
a sit down as a family to talk about what are we even gonna talk about i'm gonna sit down no just
00:35:39.580
right here on the floor roughly 80 percent of women in my data are sexually submissive which you
00:35:44.320
could say is the default female sexuality which by the way is higher than the number of women who
00:35:48.980
are not attracted by women um about 20 percent of women and about 15 percent of men are bdsm sex
00:35:56.700
bdsm actual bdsm actual and deeply oriented towards bdsm and i note here that this is more common for
00:36:04.340
women than for men yes by a significant margin in her data set yeah so if you're a man listening to
00:36:10.220
this and you just don't get it like yeah it's it's mostly a woman yeah because most men are tender
00:36:15.160
sexual even though men don't want to hear that this is what men mean when they're like i just want
00:36:18.740
bromance yeah and when you look at male erotic material it's slutty very enthusiastic women who just
00:36:25.760
really want it they just really want it yeah they're just like oh i just really wish instead of you
00:36:30.980
the average man being like i just really wish i could hunt people like i don't understand why all
00:36:37.360
you guys are so focused on sex i just really wish i could hunt people the ultimate sport the ultimate
00:36:43.220
sport yeah it's the most entertaining right as my data has a slightly inflated kink rates i'd estimate
00:36:49.280
something close to 15 percent of women and 10 percent of men are bdsm actual bdsm actual my tend men tend
00:36:56.460
to be slightly less polarized than women you could say they have higher rates of bdsm by sexuality or
00:37:02.560
switchiness like able to do both roles and for more on this particular topic you can look at my
00:37:08.100
raider versus homesteader sexual profile women where men may have an adaptive sexual profile because
00:37:15.580
the optimal arousal profile when you are raiding a village is very different from the optimal arousal
00:37:21.380
profile when you are caring for your wife and kids and so men and men actually have like
00:37:26.460
two local optimum with most men falling within both and because a lot of men learn about their
00:37:31.440
sexuality through pornography which their brain would see as disposable rated individuals they
00:37:36.460
think of themselves as far more bdsm actual than they really are and they're actually more tender
00:37:41.740
sexual and long-term relationships but anyway in general women perform more violent porn than most men
00:37:48.800
do and she has a citation here rougher sex than men think they'd like this holds it true in my data
00:37:54.820
whether you're measuring my own followers or an anonymous paid survey respondents and then here
00:37:59.900
she has a how much of the porn you watch is violent graph and and as you can see you know it's women
00:38:05.840
who are who are into this what's also interesting is other than women who else is really into it
00:38:10.740
trans men so women with additional stuff the people who are least into it are cis men you know after
00:38:18.560
trans women are the most into it then it's women and then after women is trans women and then
00:38:22.480
men are like not into it at all like men are just very very tender sexual and i would note here if
00:38:27.900
you happen to be a man who is you know competent and marginally attractive and not a tender sexual
00:38:33.440
that's a huge arbitrage on dating markets when you're a young man especially sexual dating marketplaces you
00:38:39.860
can just absolutely clean up and i think a lot of my success when i was younger in sleeping with lots
00:38:45.500
of people came down to just being non-tender sexual and being socially competent and normal looking
00:38:53.180
because apparently that's very rare in males and it's something that a lot of women are looking for
00:38:58.580
and and here you see a graph here where she has a hard face slapping during smex by violent porn
00:39:04.520
consumption and and here you see what men believe that what women would want like how much of the porn you
00:39:12.080
watch is violent and what women actually want which is just like way more if women watch a lot of violent
00:39:17.280
porn they're like 70 like i'm into this like hit me hard daddy and then this is something i definitely
00:39:22.740
saw when i used to sleep around a lot like this is why i've always found it to be so effing bizarre
00:39:27.940
when women are like women aren't into this and i'm like yes they are like why you mean either you're
00:39:34.320
not into it or you're pretending to not be into it and the amount you talk about it makes me think
00:39:38.240
you're pretending violent porn with distressed women is actually not that popular overall compared
00:39:44.200
to porn with slutty women i'm currently working on a porn database of the most popular porn hub videos
00:39:49.960
and i definitely have my issues with how sex is being presented to people in mass but so far
00:39:55.640
violence is rare i hope to publish this data more well violence against people who are into it is rare
00:40:02.180
is what she's saying here so i think what we're seeing is very tender sexual women hear about
00:40:07.740
videos of women getting abused they assume this is rampant most anti-porn feminists i hear talk
00:40:13.020
about this and reference how it's going to quote everywhere despite there not being any good data
00:40:17.320
supporting this claim go check the front page of porn hub and count how many videos feature women who
00:40:22.420
are showing distress and if you want something totally fictional because you're like well that's
00:40:26.480
showing real women you can go to e-hentai and you're just not going to see that many they because
00:40:30.520
that's an entirely fictionalized environment so presumably if it was that common you'd see it everywhere and
00:40:35.240
you don't they assume that it's quote-unquote teaching men to be more violent and that women
00:40:39.060
don't want this they are not aware that a substantial minority of women more so than men are actually
00:40:44.040
bds sexual bds sexual women are weirder more stigmatized and often stay quiet about their
00:40:48.940
sexual preferences especially in like group conversations which is why these women may not
00:40:52.460
know this if they haven't looked at the data while tender sexual women are more culturally dominant view
00:40:56.620
of female sexuality and enjoy a lot of uncontroversial backing when they frame their own sexual
00:41:01.160
orientation as the moral good that everyone else should follow and i'd also note here that like
00:41:06.560
if you're like well what about like the bible and whatever like the bible doesn't say that women need to
00:41:11.020
enjoy tender the closest you're gonna come is lines around you know loving your your wife's body in the
00:41:17.640
way that you love your own or providing for your wife or sacrificing for your wife but if this is something
00:41:24.020
that your wife likes and is turned on by and was coded into her without her consent and this is the
00:41:31.420
primary way that she gets turned on i don't see how that goes against this a line i found used a lot
00:41:37.480
to justify not doing anything that could be considered a form of kink within marital sex
00:41:42.280
is hebrews 13 4 because it states that a marriage should be undefiled the problem is is the context of this
00:41:49.620
word and this seems here more tied to adultery than anything else no totally agree with you on this
00:41:56.520
one thing that shocked me the first time i read especially the old testament was the amount of
00:42:01.880
both violence and sex and i don't remember there being a whole lot of people lovingly knowing each other
00:42:08.620
it it happened but i didn't hear about how tender and romantic it was so there's like one instance of
00:42:14.800
some poems about that but oh and song of solomon yeah but i mean that's it was more about romance
00:42:20.240
not so much about yeah you don't know what type of you know sex they were having you only know
00:42:26.380
they could have been really going at it in bd some actual ways who knows yeah you know i mean you see this
00:42:35.880
as as as somebody who is is is fairly on the aggressive side in their sexual profile i still date people
00:42:42.820
very romantically like you you would say that our dating process is very romantic right like
00:42:48.400
i i think that there's this misunderstanding that oh well this means that you got to be a jerk to
00:42:54.200
somebody all the time like it's what red pillars accidentally not at all yeah no yeah yeah i don't
00:43:01.720
really see a correlation there yeah anyway the tender sexual woman exposed to bds sexuality can be
00:43:10.460
jarring quote she was increasingly opening into her bdsm preferences and really wanted me to be very
00:43:17.280
dominant and forceful and as it turned out she was into knife play and wax stuff stuff that left her
00:43:23.100
was bruises she eventually sought this out outside of the relationship but it freaked me out seeing her
00:43:29.040
with bruises and burns i felt very confused and sad it was weird that this was the thing she wanted
00:43:34.840
because i was happy to give her things she wanted but i didn't want to hurt her and i'm like okay yeah
00:43:40.680
pussy just say i'm a big old pussy and i'm sorry the point here being is is what turns women on when
00:43:46.460
you're looking at a and right here she's talking about a tender sexual friend talking about their
00:43:49.840
experience dating a bb ads symmetrical and and she's like i i sympathize with this if violence power
00:43:56.540
sadism etc are all things that you've experienced in really terrible context like things villains do to
00:44:01.780
heroes in movies it can be confusing to think that some people want this and furthermore they can find
00:44:07.980
it good and fulfilling some insist that bdsm actuals cannot find it good and fulfilling and they must
00:44:13.520
necessarily be broken or traumatized in some way well it's true that in my data bdsm actuals are more
00:44:19.300
likely to have experienced rough childhoods than tender sexuals the majority of both groups still report
00:44:24.140
happy non-abusive childhoods and again we've noted in our data what happened to you in your childhood
00:44:29.280
really doesn't seem to affect your sexual profile that much it appears inborn and i would assume most
00:44:33.080
of it is pre-evolved based on cultural groups and stuff like that now i'd also note here yeah like this
00:44:39.080
idea that like oh if you're engaging with sexuality this way it must mean that your relationship is
00:44:45.140
really toxic or that you don't actually care about each other or and that's just not what i've seen
00:44:51.040
at all in my experience this is not like where i see people who are polyamorous and i'm like oh
00:44:56.680
i'm gonna look at their relationship and knock down the probability that it will stay stable i'm
00:45:01.200
like oh they're really just looking for a new partner when i see monogamous couples engaged in
00:45:05.880
more aggressive forms of sexuality i normally upgrade their their relationship in terms of
00:45:11.580
its likelihood of staying together for a lot of reasons and not all of them are positive one is
00:45:16.440
that there is a higher probability that the other partner has dirt on you that's going to lower the
00:45:23.340
chance that you leave a relationship you also are going to feel that finding a partner who is
00:45:28.000
compatible with you is less likely if you attempt to trade out for another partner thought simone
00:45:33.140
no i agree this is uncontroversial to me but i mean you must know women who are into this versus
00:45:42.480
women who aren't and their relationship profiles after they engage with it with their partners versus
00:45:48.540
the ones who are just i think the broader issue is i don't know the sexual profiles of
00:45:53.360
my female friends because they don't talk about it and i think a lot of women are not in touch with
00:45:58.160
their sexuality at all well i think a lot of women especially who have this sexual profile are very
00:46:02.800
afraid to talk about it with other women or even admit it to themselves like it's it's it's strictly
00:46:08.440
relegated to the fantasy novels that they read and it doesn't even make it into their relationships
00:46:12.740
i mean i we we have been exposed to some very sexually self-aware communities like with
00:46:20.340
rationalists and all the poly communities that we had friends within but most women like that i know
00:46:26.300
from childhood or i know just through circumstance super not in touch with their own sexuality like
00:46:31.840
at all and the only place where i see women like feeling comfortable or empowered talking about
00:46:38.640
their sexuality regardless of political affiliation is just buying vibrators and that's because like
00:46:44.460
sex toy companies are they have marketing talking getting them women talking yeah like basically the only
00:46:49.040
way that i'm seeing women on like in like general societies women in the united states at least getting
00:46:56.660
sexual satisfaction is by themselves using a vibrator no seriously that's really sad no it's a vibrator
00:47:04.740
in their teen dystopia novel i mean but but actually like and like literally that's the only
00:47:10.740
discussion of sexual satisfaction that i hear not like hey have you explored different kinks you might
00:47:15.560
have or whatever like and that happens you know i think even when it happens in the more sex positive
00:47:22.320
communities that are out there which by the way like you know i thought you know i used to think
00:47:26.340
that like okay well the rationalist community and ea are like super sex positive and like open to talk
00:47:31.600
about these things but now it's turning out that even they are now becoming fractured with these sex
00:47:37.360
wars they know they're becoming really freaked out about sex these days yeah so then there's like the
00:47:41.320
few sex positive people and i think i feel like this puts eil on a terrible position because you know
00:47:46.300
she's now tagged as being like the the gateway drug to sexual depravity when all she's doing is being
00:47:52.800
open and honest about her findings and she's open about her enjoyment of things that doesn't mean that
00:47:57.720
everyone's going to enjoy it but they're like putting it on her they're like no you're proselytizing
00:48:01.560
this you're doing like she's not but now she's getting caught up in this and so even within the
00:48:06.680
few sex positive communities that i encountered now they're even not clear now i've also noted here
00:48:15.620
that like if you're talking about like and this is one of the reasons why it's so like harmful to not
00:48:20.340
talk about the various sexual profiles that people have is well i would say you should not marry for the
00:48:25.160
quality of the sex or anything like that the probability that somebody who is it has a unique
00:48:30.880
sexual profile like a a fetish you would call it that their partner is fulfilling is going to seek
00:48:37.100
sex outside of the relationship is dramatically lower than somebody who is only securing vanilla
00:48:43.840
sex with that relationship because you can get vanilla sex from other people whereas sourcing non-vanilla
00:48:50.240
sex is dramatically harder and and the individual who's like well i wasn't willing to do this for
00:48:55.760
my partner so she just ended up being with other people this is an individual who's just like i knew
00:49:00.660
this turned my partner on they told me it turned them on i decided to superimpose my morals around
00:49:06.300
sexuality like well if it physically hurts you then you must hate it and the partner's like well
00:49:11.180
but i really want this right and this is the female partner by the way in in this right like
00:49:17.300
and they're like well i am the piragona and then their partner ends up sleeping with other people
00:49:21.880
because that's what happens and and this could be due to sexual incompatibility but it also could be
00:49:27.220
due to you know attempting to signal to a plastic bag right like i'm such a great male that i don't do x
00:49:33.580
or y you know there's still there's the other approach to this which is from you could take the
00:49:41.360
perspective that all non-procreative sex is a sin and if you're wasting your time trying to get sexual
00:49:49.280
satisfaction out of life you're wasting your life like life isn't about feeling good life is about
00:49:55.440
meaningfully maximizing that which you believe has value and if you're not just a pure-headedness
00:50:00.320
which i think is kind of dumb then you should probably not be so fixated on this so you know i mean
00:50:06.180
that's just to not be well no i mean this is our actual larger position on this which is like
00:50:12.340
and and this is actually our lifestyle like even though i know the things i could do with you that
00:50:17.080
would turn me on the most and you know the things you could do with me that would turn me on the most
00:50:20.180
it's almost never worth it like time wise right like well i mean especially because we have so many
00:50:25.740
things we're working on and there's like the opportunity cost of even a quickie which is never off the
00:50:32.180
table like still we we really have to think twice about even a quickie the whole thing for like an
00:50:38.940
orgasm and a bonding opportunity and i'm like i just don't care that much right like i just do not
00:50:45.140
care and people are shocked by this they're like oh whoa how could you and i'm just like there are
00:50:51.040
other things in life that are a better use of my time yeah if that's if that's literally the best use
00:50:55.960
of your time well okay for some people it is their biology is different from ours yeah
00:51:01.860
yeah for some people it is and their values are different than ours and maybe their opportunity
00:51:05.900
cost is way lower because they're just lower agents but i'm like if you're gonna engage with
00:51:10.440
it at least engage with it in a way that actually feels good and yes and that's yeah so that's
00:51:15.340
important like if you are going to be like indulge in hedonism either all the time or sometimes like
00:51:20.460
do it well at least please but also there is so much more to life than sexual gratification but i
00:51:28.780
note here when we say it's a sin i mean it's a sin in the same way that you know playing video
00:51:32.140
games is a sin right like it's a sin in the way in doing anything that's not productive as i said
00:51:35.800
eating more than you need to that that yeah like all all these things you know like yeah the people
00:51:41.540
who i mean there are people who orient their entire lives around their sexualities there are people
00:51:47.480
who orient their entire lives around traveling and going to fancy restaurants these are equally
00:51:52.540
debauched okay like they are they are equally sinful and we yeah we're not trying i'm not i'm no
00:51:59.640
more sex negative than i am foodie negative than i am sports obsession negative than i am etc etc
00:52:04.820
right yeah yeah i mean sports i'd see as worse because they take longer like the individual who
00:52:10.300
sits around watching a game all we have you come on poly people it's like a career oh yeah i mean
00:52:15.580
i'm not talking about poly people that's like a whole issue there right you know a lot it's huge
00:52:19.420
investment yeah i love that people are like oh your your wife would let you sleep with other
00:52:24.380
people if you wanted to and i'm like i do why would i want to like what's the time investment
00:52:28.200
in that right yeah like it's such a waste of time it is and and people just don't get it like they
00:52:34.740
think that humans have this voracious sexual profile that i i do not think that humans actually
00:52:41.820
have especially when they're adults and have a lot of kids well one i think historically there was a
00:52:45.760
lot more poly stuff going on but i think it's because people lived in very persistent tight-knit
00:52:50.220
communities and those other people were available like it was this other couple that you knew it's
00:52:55.100
this other woman that you was in all your social circles and you you constantly had opportunities
00:52:59.100
and the time so i actually think that before it was a lot easier to be poly or to be a swinger
00:53:05.120
than it is now like now it's hard now you have to schedule it now it's you don't always have this
00:53:09.900
passive social time you're spending so yeah that's true anyway to continue here so a tinder sexual
00:53:16.120
might ask why are some people bds sexual if they're not traumatized as one of my tinder sexual
00:53:21.400
friends said call me weird but i like sex where people act like they like each other you're you're
00:53:27.420
weird um it's not that you know i can't enjoy that but like you know there's other profiles which
00:53:34.820
are interesting as well vampires like the people they victimize in a way just like but i like a
00:53:42.160
burger you know you know this is a whole other set of blog posts maybe even a book's worth of material
00:53:47.720
but basically if you look at the evolution of apes and a whole lot of history it's actually kind of
00:53:52.640
weird that bds sexuality isn't the default power ownership dominant jealousy harassment and yes
00:53:58.600
even full out grape are integral parts of our closest relatives minus the bonobos mostly that
00:54:04.880
not true with the bonobos bonobos are the worst like a lot of people think that the bonobos are not like
00:54:09.340
that violent and and one of the they're like oh they're into more like gay stuff yeah and i talk
00:54:15.500
about like the well we have instances where a female bonobo took another bonobo's infant threatened
00:54:21.340
to rip its head off if the other woman didn't go down on her yeah that is worse than like the worst
00:54:27.780
male chimp stuff i'm not into that like it turns out when you give women power in human relatives
00:54:34.940
they become complete monsters which is what we regularly see in bonobos you can read our book on
00:54:40.360
this sexual violence has been among the biggest factors that shaped which of our ancestors got to
00:54:46.120
reproduce and which didn't for example one theory is that females that were attracted to sexually
00:54:50.600
aggressive males were more likely to have sexually aggressive and thus sexually successful sons the big
00:54:55.800
puzzle to me is why it's bimodal is this a cultural artifact iege why is it high on the tender sexual end
00:55:02.720
and high on the you know bdsm spectral end if bdsm actuality is linked to sexual success in our histories
00:55:09.960
why do we have a substantial fraction of women who are tender sexual why is there such a huge variance in the
00:55:15.560
type of power dynamics that bdsm actuals prefer this is one of the big questions on my research i hope to explore
00:55:21.680
more in upcoming posts and again for me because i think that part of this is genetic like that also
00:55:26.200
means that with my kids i'm definitely not going to teach them to expect to be tender sexuals because
00:55:31.520
if my wife isn't and i'm not i'll teach i mean we'll teach them that some people are though because i think
00:55:36.120
it's really important for a bdsm actual to understand that some people like because for for tender
00:55:42.800
sexuals this is a really really bad experience if someone just goes in hard and like expects that
00:55:49.620
they're going to enjoy this that is a traumatic experience so i think it's very important for us
00:55:54.100
to teach them about tender sexuality but to perhaps well i'll also have noted you know even on sexual
00:56:01.540
marketplaces and maybe this extends to marriage police marketplaces but when i was a kid you know
00:56:06.220
in high school and college and sleeping around like a common experience i had
00:56:10.800
was women would just be sent to me by their friends like oh you need to try this guy you know
00:56:16.700
and i think part of it was understanding the difference between this as a sexual profile and
00:56:23.580
it as a dating profile and the way people want to be treated when they're dating which might have been
00:56:28.520
just enough of an arbitrage opportunity that a lot of people were like oh he's really nice but he also
00:56:32.960
knows you know how to be aggressive within this context which you know maybe maybe rare enough but
00:56:38.900
we're just going to go over a few graphs to end here because she she had a ton of grass at the
00:56:42.880
beginning which are pretty interesting and i gotta make your what is it called bon me on chow so we've
00:56:48.120
got blowjobs here how erotic do you find it males high on the extreme side females less so how erotic do
00:56:55.220
you find anal interestingly here women high on the not side men prefer it more how erotic do you find
00:57:01.740
skirts again males prefer this where do you find females preferring it frustration women are much
00:57:08.100
more interested in frustration bimbos again this is mostly a male thing tickling equal in both
00:57:14.540
sensuality preference for females teens i found interesting because it was mostly equal between
00:57:20.920
males and females then i'm a little surprised yeah erotica huge preference for females females really
00:57:29.900
like erotica when contrasts with males again porn is the the the amount of females that pursue this
00:57:37.380
when it's got a different name public sex about equal for both and then femininity a huge reference for
00:57:42.680
males here if you look at non-consent here you get you know about equal for both great play about equal
00:57:50.340
for both i find that pretty interesting obedience female preference master slave about equal for both
00:57:56.620
choking huge female preference and bondage heavy about equal for both there you go anyway love you
00:58:03.900
i'm very excited for our dinner tonight and here we might note the you know i've been very disappointed
00:58:08.860
that you know lotus eaters who has the highest overlap of viewership that we have did a whole episode
00:58:14.400
banging on ayla and how terrible she is and how not normal it is i couldn't even bring myself to watch it
00:58:20.040
you know this is benjamin whatever his name is you know who's also sargon of akkad and i've just been
00:58:27.100
i was really disappointed about his you know unironic pro-iran take like oh israel shouldn't be attacking
00:58:34.140
iran and i was like what i don't get it i don't i don't i don't like i want to like him i tried to reach
00:58:41.980
out to him i tried to make friends with him i tried to he's never gotten back to me despite our huge
00:58:47.600
overlap despite him frequently talking at conferences i'm talking to et and you know i i guess
00:58:54.260
and that was all okay but now it comes for ayla hey and the door's open we're happy to talk but like
00:59:00.520
i think that anyone who dunks on ayla has not met her has not seriously looked at what she she stands
00:59:07.680
for and who she is some people are just like she's a slut which she is okay she sleeps around a lot
00:59:13.360
therefore you know it is bad that she has a public profile and and i see that and i i can understand
00:59:21.040
that except historically if you're talking about like conservative cultural institutions it was
00:59:25.680
actually very common for the top female intellectual to be what today we would call a prostitute yeah all
00:59:32.420
these famous courtesans going back to to greek and roman times like aphasia there was the one in
00:59:39.280
france what was that one well there were tons in france madame pompadour you're probably thinking
00:59:43.500
but there were tons who had the salons who hosted the major intellectual lines of their time yeah no
00:59:49.860
this is like oh the lack of respect anyway well no i think that there is a difference between
00:59:55.600
normalizing something and understand that women who are top tier intellectuals of their age are going
01:00:01.060
to have sexual profiles that may look more male yeah yeah that's a great way of putting it and
01:00:06.140
yeah i mean yes i think it's it's fair to say and i understand concerns that that people have because
01:00:12.180
this is really really not appropriate for the vast majority of women but ayla is not proselytizing
01:00:18.120
this way of life and those other women most of like the famous women end up following her i understand
01:00:23.680
this accusation right but that's that's on them like and i i think it's it's more on the community
01:00:28.360
that they have joined that didn't give them warning signs around it and and not not so much on
01:00:35.080
it's not ayla's job to be like i don't know i can understand the accusations here i i just i don't
01:00:41.640
like the the constantly normalist takes here's a great picture of me and ayla at a party that i saw
01:00:46.060
recently on her facebook but it's me clearly very excited about a controversial idea ayla like she
01:00:51.700
doesn't agree but she's like i'm really interested to respond and then you see the guy who's like
01:00:56.580
and then you see the woman who's like this progressive woman who's like
01:01:00.480
then there's the classic bay area progressive woman who looked completely disgusted by you
01:01:11.600
standing in the corner yeah no but but what i like about this is i think that this is where like
01:01:16.440
our respect for people lie right like are you like i don't care how much i disagree with you
01:01:21.080
are you willing to have like are you game are you gonna yeah yeah or are you just gonna sit there
01:01:26.460
in pearl clutch and tell me that i'm thinking outside the bounds of what i'm allowed to think
01:01:31.300
and i find that to be really frustrating and i find the oh you know the the not crazy takes like
01:01:39.780
the individuals who repeatedly have like normalist takes for their community over time it's begun to
01:01:46.880
gross me out more i've seen this was in the conservative space where individuals who i used to
01:01:51.600
have respect for and i'm like okay well like where's your weird take where's your crazy take where's
01:01:56.180
your especially the ones who decide that they're just going to poo poo everything oh you've made
01:02:02.540
such a bad choice this person's so bad this was so dumb like stop like people who cannot who don't
01:02:08.380
have the balls to stand stuff i lose my respect for them you know i know this has been an increasing
01:02:13.740
by just by just shitting on everyone else for their takes even if they're dumb takes and you can make
01:02:19.380
fun of a dumb take i'm all for that but if all you do is make fun of dumb takes and you don't put
01:02:24.080
yourself on the line at any point when there's a chance that you might be wrong no you're not an
01:02:30.040
intellectual yeah we we do episodes all the time that i know our fans are gonna hate right like our
01:02:33.900
take on iran i know a lot of our fans don't like our take on iran but like f them right like i i don't
01:02:40.360
i i don't think our fans who disagree with us on this have honestly thought through like the larger
01:02:46.620
geopolitical consequences well and our best fans often disagree with us and they enjoy the discourse
01:02:51.500
they enjoy hearing from people with whom they disagree and that's awesome and they don't fault
01:02:55.820
us for being wrong sometimes if if we're wrong on a thing and we we admit we're wrong on things
01:03:01.160
so anyway which we have multiple times in the past on this show it's been like hey we had like h1bd
01:03:06.600
since we're like we had this stance now we have this stance right like anyway love you to
01:03:11.300
you are amazing and thank you for not being a prostitute
01:03:15.380
you're welcome you could be you'd be great at it i think the larger probably not the larger thing
01:03:27.900
is i think everyone's a prostitute if they work you know it's just question is who are you selling
01:03:33.680
your body to yeah who are you selling your body to it's it's it's it's real so just are you selling
01:03:39.080
your body to our fans so do i need to have a conversation with you
01:03:42.560
wait for the black jaw when you do it look up like a video on how to make the meat i don't know
01:03:49.620
if i'm gonna have time now because the kids are gonna descend all right bye whatever do whatever
01:03:53.540
you want love you love you too loading oh good so a little worried that string yard would be down
01:04:01.860
again so scared about outages now donald trump railing on mendevev from russia talking about
01:04:09.500
giving iran nukes because you know he was like oh well now some other country might give iran nukes
01:04:15.900
and yeah what even first off no one's gonna do that because that's dumb that's like oh someone stole
01:04:24.080
the gun from my unstable schizophrenic friend don't worry i'll give them one of my guns
01:04:29.920
well by the way it's like my house is deeply unstable and i live in a bad neighborhood
01:04:35.960
i mean it shows people who understand i mean i think russia is really overplaying their hand
01:04:40.980
with this and they just need to step back because nobody cares i've been really surprised by the sort
01:04:46.420
of gaze for gaza trump crowd that's like what is this yeah this oh dare we get involved in a war
01:04:52.420
yeah it's not like we're putting boots on the ground or something look i i will agree with you
01:04:56.460
guys if it turns out that trump you know bombing these facilities draws american into a wire conflict
01:05:03.660
then i was wrong and trump was wrong in this gambit and everything like that right um if it does not
01:05:09.500
then you've like like you've been seriously wrong about everything and this is one of the better
01:05:15.760
political plays in the past century in terms of quickly dealing with a persistent
01:05:22.060
long-term foe's primary gambling chip yeah yeah and and this isn't the way that they're talking
01:05:28.620
about it they're just like oh he shouldn't be doing i i saw a freaking idiot what's his name the
01:05:33.800
the the one who carl oh that's what they call him cucker now if you so quickly flipped up with with
01:05:40.580
trump his sonus trump was like hey why are you saying this but he was like all the bric countries will
01:05:44.860
go to war with us and i was like are you like actually retarded the bric you think india is going
01:05:50.140
to go to war with us over us attacking iran do you know what india thinks of like muslim majority
01:05:55.860
countries like pakistan you think that that brazil is going to go to war with us over iran like how do
01:06:02.360
you have so little understanding of how the world works and yet are in a position of like talking on
01:06:08.840
air that that like really got i was like what i'm you know i i imagine he has some some people
01:06:19.260
talking into his ear who have caused some well no it's clear that i mean and and this isn't like a
01:06:25.800
conspiracy everyone knows he has a lot of contacts within the russian government sure iran's russia's
01:06:29.740
ally of course he's going to try to defend them you know reflexively because that's like where his
01:06:34.280
bread's butter a lot of people are also really colored by the people they're hanging out with
01:06:38.420
and talking to so yeah yeah i don't know those people he's gonna have a really dysmorphic
01:06:42.340
understanding yeah i don't think this is like his personality or anything i just think that
01:06:47.400
and this is why i call it like the gaze for gaza thing because like it is one thing to say we
01:06:52.060
shouldn't put boots on the ground which i could not agree with more totally it is another thing to
01:06:56.260
say that we should do nothing to disarm them which is like we were pretty much the if i understand the
01:07:03.040
only country that had the we were the only country that had the b2 bombers that could drop this type
01:07:09.360
of bomb well and and we you know we that that kind of what are they called massive ordinance something
01:07:13.340
something mobs the bunker busters yeah i just also we were wasting the pretty we we had we've had
01:07:20.160
those since 2004 we had never used them before you were rotting in a bunker right i know just yeah
01:07:27.280
wasting the pretty like i said you know it's like you know a beautiful girl in her 20s just sitting
01:07:31.420
there waiting for for the right day okay and keep in mind that we even i don't know if you heard this
01:07:37.700
but we even called iran and told them we were going to do this beforehand so that they could
01:07:40.860
that's so sweet well that's good yeah i was really wondering about that i was like i really hope no
01:07:45.420
one was well they actually brought like a chain of cars and they might have evacuated some of the
01:07:48.880
centrifuge materials so people are really like pissed at them for this right yeah because they're like
01:07:53.080
hey you you didn't really play game and we tried to be nice to you about this
01:07:56.940
and i note here that iran actually did the same favor for us when they did the retaliatory strike
01:08:03.040
against our base in qatar letting us know before they did the strike so that we could evacuate the
01:08:08.760
parts of the facility that were going to be hit pretend we're having an argument
01:08:13.220
you want to tell me why i want this street to think that you and i are on the out what do you want
01:08:23.540
me to do i'm gonna poke you poke me back i'll poke you all day but the point largely being is like
01:08:32.280
look if they actually do strike back in meaningful ways to draw us into the conflict we were wrong
01:08:38.000
if they don't then trump was right but don't pretend like i want to protect iran why is trump
01:08:44.200
attacking iran why is israel attacking iran like we don't care that israel is paying to attack iran
01:08:48.260
iran's a terrible place the the and not to say like the u.s screwed up with iran in the past
01:08:54.740
100 like there's no doubts there i get why iran well the thing that i really don't get is when
01:09:01.720
people are like oh we've been through this before like they might have weapons of mass destruction
01:09:06.120
some middle eastern country as an excuse for war so one this is not an excuse for putting boots on
01:09:11.100
the ground and two this isn't the united states saying they might have weapons of mass destruction
01:09:16.580
this is every single european power saying they might have weapons
01:09:20.460
refined to what like 80 88 percent 90 percent is weapons grade like they were right there
01:09:28.000
independently saying no but the point i'm making is this isn't like one intelligence agency saying
01:09:33.880
this this is every intelligence agency on saying this yeah this is despite how much france and the
01:09:40.120
uk and and germany hate israel all of them saying that they approve of this like
01:09:46.000
wild to get those three guys to agree that attacking somebody is a good thing um so like a lot of this
01:09:52.720
is just like really false equivalencies the as i'm gonna go put it the point that somebody made a
01:09:58.480
mistake like this once doesn't mean that every time in the future somebody says something like this
01:10:02.780
it's a mistake yeah but anyway let's get to today's episode yeah
