Am l an emotionally undeveloped manchild if I don't feel anything while reading novels about: romance, family loss, social mobility, marriage and children?
Especially if they're not in the desert or not in a rural/unforgiving area

Would you feel shit for a cartoon? Or cartoonlike personhood? It's fiction, your emotions being activated by false representations is weakness. Like the legs of that girl, who'd have a good time trying to escape. Thrashing about, whimpering. Clothe gag. ;>)

If you're really getting engrossed in a book then you'll be thinking of the characters in a similar way to how you think of a real friend or loved one.
So you probably should care.

Or maybe you just can't empathize with those experiences because you've never experienced them or don't value them. idk.

>What does make you feel something when you read it, exactly? What novels move you?
I mostly feel exicted, amused or mildly happy when l read, usually just relaxed. Say Blood Meridian, I found some of the scenes really amusing like when they speak to the mexicans and the injuns, all the times when they start a gun battle for a slight provocation. I felt excited during butchers crossing when Miller finally leads them to water, remember feeling really happy when they spent half the day just lying on their backs in the water. I felt like hitting my balls when l read about pris stratton pulling the legs off of a spider in Do Androids Dream, l also felt attracted and then lonely during her scenes with isidore. When I read a canticle for leibowitz, I remember feeling sad when Francis died.

Its just whenever a novel is based in a city or urban area or safe countryside where all the novel covers are peoples feelings about their children, each other, their family, their economic hardship, their marriage, romance or family loss I just feel indifferent if not slightly depressed to what they describe aside from being bored.
I remember feeling more emotional when l read novels as a child, especially at the end of them.

you might be sociopathic or in extreme cases psychopathic if you don't have a sense of empathy or are totally clueless about the potential perspectives of others.

as far as this shit in novel form?

maybe they aren't for you. no one said they had to be. try reading some sci fi, fantasy, or some detective mystery. also there is a wide variety of literature outside of genre lit.

This is view of people who've never had to make moral decisions about large groups of people before. Imagine saying this shit to a general or a politician. Some people just look at fiction as fiction, or even the news as fiction. Because you can't let empathy run amok when you're the one making important decisions. This is why women as less likely to enter the leadership roles that affect large amounts of people, because they believe emotional responses are the end all be all to every situation and that to think rationally is a malfunction or a disorder. If a surgeon felt this way about every book he read, I'd never let him work on me. And if you're compassion and empathy is only produced from aesthetics, you're scum and should be purged. Anthropocentric empathy is the greatest folly the world has ever known.

there might be something there about long or short term emotional response, but ultimately every rational political decision is in service of emotion. whether that's personal greed, lust for power, or utilitarian decisions for a social unit (maximum happiness)

Frustrating choice. Some pretty girls, some good chemistry between them, but all 3 minutes long and all very artificial and forced. Not one orgasm ever recorded.
>Ceara Lynch
Dude, have some standards. She's 40 now, she was never hot to begin with, and she can't act for shit without her first boyfriend coaching her. You seen her half-assed lesbian domme clips? She's scared to let another woman's mouth touch her. That's the only time she's ever been natural on camera, and it's a negative reaction.

I'm going to suggest that you try sucking a dick in a safe environment in real life and realize it's not at all what you think it is. Then go to therapy and reflect on your self-esteem and the fact that chastity and cuckolding are relationship destroying fetishes that need to be controlled or confined to fantasy at the very least, and ideally extirpated altogether as your self-esteem stops being a convenient punching bag in your sexual fantasies. You are a good person and women can hurt and degrade you without it needing to be entwined with an implicit rejection of you as a partner.

Once you get too addicted to transgressing the a priori conditions of the possibility of femdom themselves like this, it can become all that scratches the itch. Try not jerking off for a long time and then re-learning how to appreciate the little things, like body worship or being used as furniture.
