Kinda curious how many people who have had sex felt like this beforehand and how people's thoughts like this have changed with the generations.
I can't provide any advice since I can't really imagine not being uncomfortable with such a scenario. Like, its hard to emotionally understand how so many people eventually have sex and isn't some niche thing some tiny minority do. But I'm ace and trans.
Occam's razor? Maybe their growth in belief in people's stupidity explains why their belief in human goodness increased. Instead, they just believe people are incompetent rather than willfully bad? Curious what the mechanism for it looking like a titration curve is though.
