You realize that your queer interpretation of Moby Dick stems from your inability to see male interaction as anything but sexual or homoerotic in nature?

No clue. Tried doing a Google search and got nothing, but weird gay fashion articles. It exists though.

>>5211929
I'm just saying that it's kinda silly to want a pure heterosexual society because the concept itself is cultural. The same goes even for sexuality and sex itself.
To put it really simply: it's all bodily pleasure m8. Some cultures understood this better than us today.

If you want some literature, Foucault's History of Sexuality is pretty interesting and not that hard to read.

>> No.5211996

>>5211971
I've actually been meaning to read that for a while, though I definitely have my prejudices against it and I've got a strong idea of what may be written in there
Do you think we should be permissive of pedos, too, because "it's cultural"?

>> No.5212055

>>5211996
>Do you think we should be permissive of pedos, too, because "it's cultural"?
I think we should not be permissive of nonconsensual sex and sex that is in some ways very damaging without the person realizing what they're getting into. So no.

Although the lines can be blurred sometimes. People like to wake up to their gf/bf sucking their dick/pussy and there was no prior consent there, but that's completely another case. I think we need to develop a better concept than consent.

>I've got a strong idea of what may be written in there
Forgot to ask, could you elaborate on this?
