@monkey @azureazure I assume this is about the sex stuff? (I still haven't read the rest only skimmed it, gotta go hang out with girls and NOT have sex with them)
I feel like people have this perception of me being some kind of compulsory celibacy anti-sex type of bitch because I am at the moment sort of volcel for personal reasons, and because I steelman sex negativity because it's not currently fashionable and so it needs someone who isn't a fascistic TERF/SWERF dipshit to be able to take the position and defend it. but I think that sex positivity and sex negativity are both two sides of the same coin that has been tragically bifurcated by the existence of biological reproduction and the male sex drive (moids are disposable genetic material dispensers). neither is inherently correct and both are capable of going off into really bad extremes like either being a neurotically repressive puritan psycho or being a coomer pornbrained sex pest, and because Amerikan culture in particular is so insanely neurotic about sex, it's become increasingly impossible to not be one or the other extreme. everyone is fucking incapable of being normal about sex
but anyway one of the things that actually immediately resonated with me about Daoism (aside from a lot of other stuff about it) is that it approaches sexuality in a way that is consistent with its overall stance of making the body and the physical world a microcosm of immanent divinity that we must treat as such. Daoism is like the polar opposite of how western civ is about sexuality where everything must be either repressive or compulsory; it simply is the case that sexuality is a thing that exists and so it should be understood so that it can be engaged with in the most optimal ways possible. that's all I fucking care about. I don't ascribe moral values to literally anything because I'm a stone cold egoist bitch
also, even being in my personally life effectively volcel there is never going to be any situation where I don't think that using eroticism for esoteric purposes isn't extremely fucking based (on principle at least but not necessarily in practice), it's just not something I personally do because all occult sex magick is overcoded by Thelemite bullshit and generally falls under the compulsory side of things. men ruin everything because they're all spiritually fascist
