When people call sex "breeding".

It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I uh... I'm not sure what your source is, but for mine 'breeding' is anything but "only for procreation"

E: in case it isn't painfully obvious, I am le gay, so that may factor into your source woes :p

It kinda depends on context.

A gay guy? Hedonistic, in the best way.

An incel? Puritanical, in the worst way.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Apparently it's urban slang.

Sounds like some misogynistic nonsense to me.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

that made sense, i was thinking breeding is a gay term, and often used gay porn alot, for young/older trope, which another cringe thing.

It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through "Puritanical thingy". Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans 😬 [ANSWER RECEIVED]

Did you look them up? That's basically what most of the mainstream US churches are based off of.

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I had to as I am not (like veeeerrry far away) familiar at all with any mainstream US churches phrases. At least, I have learnt something new

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd say that is more about a kink than anything remotely religious

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not typically one to kink shame, but that's just creepy.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I've known a few people who used "breeding" as a kink word and I'm like motherfuckers i raised four kids it's not a fucking kink, it's a lifelong occupation.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Right? I'm raising one amd I'm constantly exhausted.

[–] richieadler@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I only use "breeding" to refer disparagingly to the actions of those who believe that having kids is mandatory or, at least, unavoidable.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

That's how I thought it was used.
