Here I am surprised that a person is surprised that non-preferred sexual acts would trigger visceral disgust.

I mean, sex is actively disgusting unless your partner just happens to have the right combination of signals to transform it into something non-disgusting.

The wonder is that any sex ever is seen as non-disgusting.

Polyamory is not group sex.

Actually, if you don’t take care of yourself in polyamorous relationships, you might have less sex than in monoamorous relationships.

Also, no, consensual sex is not disgusting. You might not want it, but then sex is not consensual. Bodies are not inherently disgusting.

ehhh bodies are pretty gross. teeth in places mashin up stuff, grimy bacteria in all the folds and crevasses, stinky sweaty fluids and excretions, there’s tons of stuff in the human body that is either conceptually quite horrifying or that we are downright neurologically programmed to be disgusted by. the eroticism of it all really just allows us to look past the disgust and see desire, joy, pleasure. that’s the subjective element.

that dude was dumb for thinking polyamory is a sex act though lol
