I mean, I have a lot of theories ranging from that we just like don't know any better and we're passing on what generations before us have done.

I think we know better.

On the other end of the spectrum, I do think that there is, I think when we keep people away from pleasure and we keep people away from being empowered in this area of their life in particular, they're actually a lot easier to control.

Really?

Yeah.

And then that may be my most conspiratorial end on why sex ed is the way that it is.

And I don't know that any individual person is thinking on that level.

Like, you know, it would make them easier to manipulate if we take them away from pleasure.

But I do think that when people are like empowered in their body, they know how to like relate to themselves.

They have the discipline.

They like they understand that, you know, their sexuality is powerful and they're able to wield it as a tool of connection.

Then they move through the world a lot differently.

I mean, that's the world that I want to live in.

But those people are a lot happier.

They're a lot more satisfied.

And I don't know that like happy and satisfied people, I don't know that happy and satisfied is really like the goal for most folks.

Unfortunately.

Yes, right.

If you're happy and you're satisfied, you buy less stuff, period.

And I would say that like the happiest I've been is when I had great relationships that were very fulfilling and then less stuff.
