It does seem to be something about male sexuality, the male brain, the male capacity, the male brain's capacity. And you know, making generalizations here, about 4 billion people, 4 billion people, there'll be hundreds of millions of exceptions. But the way the male brain, its capacity for abstract thought, abstract associations, is
and I am way out on a limb here, and this shit is way above my pay grade, but it just is a common and observable fact that most people with paraphilias, most people with these kinds of kinks are male people. And sometimes I have conversations with female fetishists who have told me that they think it's all about socialization. Men are encouraged to

ask for what they want, demand what they want, and being encouraged to ask for what you want or demand what you want can help you realize or articulate what it is that you want.

But what you often see is this difference between male and female sexuality where men are kind of males, sign male at birth persons, hyper aware of their kinks and fetishes at a very early age, and women sort of grow into their sense of their kinks. in their late twenties and thirties.

It's why 50 shades of gray was a phenomenon, not among 18 year old women who just got to college, but among 40 year old women whose kid just went to college. Is that socialization? Is there something natural about that? Well, we can point to the slut shaming.

We can point to the way women are socialized to defer to men, which can really bury a person's sense of their own agency and what their desires, their actual authentic desires at their core, what they want might be. I often point to sexual peak like a,

15-year-old boy is masturbating 10 times a day in a way that a 15-year-old girl, even one who is masturbating, isn't masturbating at that furious clip. There's that peak, a male, cliche male, hits. And that sexual peak, women seem to hit their sexual peak later in life. And I think

My pull-from-my-ass theory is there's something about going through that sexual peak that can bring into focus what your kinks are, what your non-normative sexual interests might be. And so males often arrive at all their partner sex, all their relationships with this awareness of what their kinks are, because they were aware of them before they had partner sex, whereas women grow into them.

They hit their sexual peak, all of these things come into focus. And that can be a problem for women in long-term relationships where they went and found the one guy in the pile of guys who doesn't have a foot fetish, doesn't have any weird paraphilias, didn't ask for anything or ask you to be GGG about anything weird. Not, I'm not talking about gross or traumatic.

I'm just talking about you didn't see that coming and yeah. And then you partner with somebody with no kinks and when your kinks kick in at 40 and

You will regret not having had a kinky partner that whole time whose kinks you were indulging and enjoying indulging because you enjoyed giving your partner pleasure who now that you're 35 years old and suddenly interested in S&M or whatever else now they owe you.
