Why do some men sexualize everything women do? God forbid I need to bend over to pick something up, or I wanna lick ice cream or eat a banana in public. Or shake my protein drink. It’s exhausting constantly being sexualized for basic things men do too

We can’t eat bananas in public or shake drinks either or it’s rainbow

This may shock you, but men get sexualized for those things too

Maybe it’s because I’m ace, but I’ve genuinely never sexualized any of these things and have forgotten that other people do 😭

Human nature

But humans can function without sex and without sexualization. Asexuals and others that avoid sex can exist and thrive so I don’t believe it’s human nature.

Humans can function without processed sugar and deep fried fats too, but people still jump through hoops to eat those, why do you think that is?

Also, sexuality is the rule and asexuality is the exception. If it were the other way around, humans would literally go extinct. It's not rocket science, it is basic evolutionary biology. The basic instincts of all living things are survive, and reproduce, because anything without those instincts dies and ceases to exist.

I absolutely get the enjoyment of sex and why it exists. I'm just trying to figure out why simple things in life need to be sexualized. It makes life harder to live for everyone. A lot of people live in fear of being sexualized and so they don't do some things that bring them joy, like having ice cream. It's disheartening.

I don’t think I am but I was convinced I was for three years so I just assumed you weren’t supposed to feel anything during sex or not finishing meant you were doing a great job
