It's quite odd - and telling - that you equate the entire history of humanity with the very short span of your own life
Except I didn't. I even referred to the wider scope further down the post. I was referencing my own teen experience to make the point that very few people, as their sexuality emerges, require this kind of elaborate taboo-busting narrative or props to experience arousal, and wondering how as human beings we get from that to this. Not that human sexuality began when mine did. I mean obviously 🙄
People have been kinky since the dawn of time. It's not something that's recently emerged with your own awareness of it. Sure, the internet means that people who might never have come across it because it's not their thing (and by their nature, kinks won't be for the majority) will be more aware of it than previously, but that doesn't mean it's a new thing.
For that assertion to be even partially demonstrable, you'd need to have a definition of 'kinky'. As far as I can tell, a kink is a sexual desire or paraphilia that is not generally accepted by wider society - so anal and oral would once have been considered a 'kink', now it is so widely practiced it is mainstream and 'vanilla'. As the window of acceptable sexual behaviour moves, so does the definition of 'kink'. Or do you have a more stable definition that could be used to evidence your assertion? Certainly I don't think you can demonstrate that people have been pretending to be cats for the purposes of sexual arousal 'since the dawn of time', but I may simply be ignorant of extensive research in this area?
It's also guff that all women into this have been abused/damaged/whatever. Human desire can be strange and illogical, and as long as consenting adults are all okay with what's taking place between them or in their heads, no harm done.
I didn't say they were or had to be. I simply said that the pervasiveness of pornography, a largely male-driven medium, into our sexual culture, alongside the relatively recent innovation that is female sexual liberation, will have had an impact on what hetero women find arousing (or profess to). I think you'd be unlikely, for example, to find many middle-aged lesbians getting off by calling each other mummy during sex.
You can of course disagree with me, but if you are going to imply naivety and ignorance you should probably bring some evidence to support your own opinions.
