I am sorry you cannot generalize like that. <br />People fear different things.<br /><br />There is no logic to fear and confusion... and people who are confused are confused and are not thinking straight.<br /><br />I still don't see how all of this is related to the comic. There were plenty of other reasons why the guys on the ship got erections and it didn't have to do with liking or desiring the person in front of them... it had to do with rubbing, vibration, good morning call and men's nature.dedasaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08118053216478451902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32042844.post-79397119295099472122011-04-26T03:45:32.514+02:002011-04-26T03:45:32.514+02:00What I was getting at for women was also on page 4...What I was getting at for women was also on page 4, and I was suggesting that men might be susceptible in a different way...Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10470299946567868434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32042844.post-66877058590863194742011-04-26T03:41:43.421+02:002011-04-26T03:41:43.421+02:00I guess what I was saying about Pifo was just part...I guess what I was saying about Pifo was just part of something I said before, that desire for one group of people should determine orientation more than fear of the other...<br />As for the other thing, I was mainly thinking of this article... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/magazine/25desire-t.html<br />The statement I was looking for was page 8, that "arousal is not consent"; it doesn't say in this article, but it could probably happen just as much to men, that they can be erect for mysterious reasons which are not necessarily desire (the "bus seat" was one reason). Do you know what I'm saying now? Do you understand why I wondered why there was no other source for erections besides the people the men desired?Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10470299946567868434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32042844.post-34458308308257593352011-04-26T01:00:31.712+02:002011-04-26T01:00:31.712+02:00it's the perfect choice of words, they come fr...it's the perfect choice of words, they come from HIM, not others! So there's no label forced on the boy.<br /><br />The confusion about one thing does not necessarily implies interest in other things... at times you just think you don't now who you are anymore without pressures from the outside world. Those are the real life crisis, no matter what Black Swan tried to make people believe. Inner conflict is a whole different thing.<br /><br />For the other thing... I still don't know why that came to be and why should it be related to the comic - since I never touched that topic - so I still don't understand what you are talking about, sorry ^^"dedasaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08118053216478451902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32042844.post-50730793527043651892011-04-25T22:14:09.184+02:002011-04-25T22:14:09.184+02:00Somebody might be aroused by the thought of being ...Somebody might be aroused by the thought of being ravished, but not really want to be, and if someone actually forced somebody, and that person was aroused during it, it could be claimed as a justification, that the person must have wanted it...<br />One more thing...

I didn't know if I saw any instances where the characters were aroused by something different than actual desire, so this was another "false impressions" worry, that people wouldn't realize there could be other stimuli and that they didn't always want to act on it, or want something for real (like you would fantasize about being ravished, but not actually want anyone to have you against your will)...Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10470299946567868434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32042844.post-76905612324614335032011-04-25T00:46:53.510+02:002011-04-25T00:46:53.510+02:00Desire and wanting can be the same thing.

I know that arousal is not usually the same as wanting, but it seems that here, in this chapter (Dr. Fynn, Pifo and Kane), and in other places (e.g. Cat in chapter 6), it is... Is there an explanation for that, perhaps that this was a simpler time with simpler pleasures, few if any stimuli besides the one you desire (no vibrating bus seats, for one thing)?Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10470299946567868434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32042844.post-58362766376616629472011-01-10T02:39:26.157+01:002011-01-10T02:39:26.157+01:00Yeah, I've always wondered about that.

I wonder how different it is in Asia, for example!<br /><br />I realized, after I moved to Singapore, tha Indians count using the phalanges... so but I don't know if they manage to count to 15 in one hand.
