You’re putting a lot of words in my mouth, there. Doing a lot of reworking what NFT Avatar and Other Dude actually said, too.
While the misogynist comment was uncalled for, I'm simply extending the same good faith that we'd extend to a woman in a similar situation.
Deeper mental health problems can - and in this specific case do - have an ideological component. I don’t know what to tell you besides, “mainstream western culture is is at best permissive of hardcore misogyny and at worst overtly supportive of it, so of fucking course it’s a load-bearing part of the most common ideologies that capitalize on men’s loneliness.”
Right, western culture of misogyny fuels mental health problems. So we should unpack those and realize that both men and women having sexual hangups is not a moral failing on their part.
A study on women found that PCD is not correlated with intimacy but occurs regardless. Your statement that this is ideological and rooted in men's loneliness is incomplete because PCD occurs at similar rates in both men and women. It also doesn't account for the many non-ideological correlations for PCD as mentioned in my previous comment.
It's amazing we can understand that a woman feeling uncomfortable after sex might be due to deeper mental health problems but a man must be a misogynist.
PCD is associated with current psychological distress, sexual abuse, and other sexual dysfunctions in both men and women. Men aren't raging sex machines and in fact have hangups and anxiety over sex too.
A lot of these responses say to me y'all aren't even a little bit self aware.
If I read out some of the shit you say when you're horny or lovey-dovey then you'd cringe yourselves to death. If you talked to anyone else but your lover in this way you'd look like the biggest goofball goober in the world. Realizing that horniness changes your brain state to do some embarrassing things in retrospect does not make someone a serial killer lol.
