Pixel, thank you for putting those two posts together. So my question, is every human need a human right?

The entire premise of this thread is predicated on that sex is about a basic human need as food and shelter.

WTF?
Agreed. Food and shelter is a necessity. Sex is a biological urge or want. Nobody ever died from lack of sex. If you can't turn on enough charm to find the occasional mercy fuck then don't expect society to pay, coerce or force some poor person to oblige you.

And any person who acts out over an inability to get laid is maybe more hassle than they are worth in society, e.g. incels.

I think he might mean without it the human race is doomed type of basic need.

He claims it is about mental health, not procreation. Yes, it's an incel argument from what most people can reasonably gather: "give me the sexors that I deserve or I will murder people...science says so!" It reminds me of that idiot Google guy...

I can't figure out OP. I think there is some merit to half of his argument, but he then conflates it with shady science, garbage philosophy, and some inherent desire to "trap" rational people into a logical fallacy that no literate person would fall into.

I'm leaning towards him being some naive kid that recently read some jr high level Rand novel and thinks he's a genius.

Nope. This is beyond your understanding. It is about what are the things that are considered rights and if there is a direction in which they are moving.

no. You have claimed there is only one direction, because you are the Great Karnak or something ridiculous. It isn't about that. You have repeatedly claimed that there is only one future result to such liberal policy, and then the rest of the thread is "hahaha liberals! what are you going to do about it!??"

It's infantile.

Yes and no. You have the right to have sex but you do not have the right to force someone to have sex with you. Solution: Legalize prostitution. If there is a legal and safe way to those do not have relationship, it could lower the sex crime rate.

I would accept making sex a right, as long as the recipient doesn't get to choose the sex (or lack thereof) of his "provider", and also has no say in how the service is performed.

It would be like Russian roulette with an automatic.

All I’m saying that it is not at all inconceivable that in time sex would get implicitly defined as a right, for various vague reasons. And there would be a push for a public policy that gives tax payer funds to people to access sex workers or virtual sex.

s.

That’s an interesting statement. Because what you said above about sex is what was said about some other things once upon a time ago, which now govt is involved in. You see where this is going?

But can you say they never went insane as a result? Look no further than the abuse at the Church.
One must examine the harm done to others after a mind is twisted into derangement.
The subject draws parallels to the mental destruction that occurs to a person who is kept in isolation.

Dumb question. Of course not.

One of the things I observe among other males that's gotten more and more pronounced in the internet age, is a focus on sex completely divorced of even the slightest clue about actual relationships.

So the approach is a babified one from the get-go. Some guy of not great physical appearance, below average wit and intelligence, with the idea that his pizza delivery job is going to lead to models blowing him because he saw that happen in a porn... No clue what-so-ever about having a normal relationship with someone realistically in their leauge...

That guy is just NEVER going to get any. Then these types get all mad and want to lash out.

We've all probably come across a few types like this.

I once worked with a guy who was a hopeless case, but me at the time being too naive to realize it, hooked this guy up on a double date with my girlfriend's friend. He was one of those always complaining about no dates types and I felt sorry for him.

This was before the internet in everyone's pocket and the set up was litterally as good as it will *ever* get for an average guy like this. My girl's friend was smoking hot, she'd been out of the dating scene and isolated for months. She was curious to meet someone (and according to my gf ready to get it on) basically, the perfect setp on a silver platter

This guy shows up and has absolutely no clue how to interact with her. I don't mean just shy or awkward -she'd have probably found that endearing- just fucking clueless. He didn't ask her a single question, talked only about himself, acted like an ass, mostly ignored her... just the gamut of clueless dipshit stuff.

Not only did this idiot ruin the night for himself, he ruined it for all of us. She was upset, my girl was pissed I invited this assclown, and instead of at her house getting it on, they drove home pissed and I had to drive shithead home.

And on the way this idiot starts giving me the list of superficial things he didn't like about the girl "nose too big, tits too small" the typical clueless asshole stuff. I realized guys like this are so set in their cluelessness that they really believe its a Cindy Crawford type that's going to blow them on demand someday and that some 'average' girl is nothing...

... basically idiots like that will die alone having never been touched by a female.

I firmly believe its that same type of clueless guy that's behind all this incel shit, and coming up with pretzel logic ways society owes them what they're incapable of getting for themselves. The internet has just exasserbated the situation.

These types I think more than ever have a distorted, porn-fueled view of sex and believe that kind of stupid shit is what 'normal' guys get all the time. When porn-mentality approaches to women FAR out of their leauge fails, they throw a hissy and blame society.

Generally I can't blame female kind for rejecting a lot of the goofball shit my fellow males can get up to, but this bunch in particular... pretty damn hopeless.

If many would ever learn what an actual relationship was -not just expect porn to happen for real- how to persue, start and maintain one with a realistic-for-them partner, they'd have success. But I don't think that's even possible for many who have no idea at all what that even is.

I think that assuming that paedophilia has anything to do with insanity is just plain wrong.

Let's say you're the average warm-blooded male and you severely regret your decision to have become a priest for a religion that requires its priests to be celibate. Your choices are:

1 - Leave the church, find a normal job (and/or find some other way to serve your god) and get laid.
2 - Don't leave the church and get laid (e.g. go to another city and find a pro if need be).
3 - Suck it up and be faithful to your promise.

The modern-day Catholic religion's problem IMO is/was that word got around that paedos can do what they do, have easy access to the vulnerable, still keep their jobs and the church would even take steps to protect their welfare and habit by hushing the whole thing up and moving them to another part of the country when they got caught in the act. In short, it was a safe haven for those with an incredibly risky fetish to engage in.

I'd be surprised if there's any evidence to support the idea that priests become so desperate to get some that they have a screw break loose and become sexually attracted to children (aside from the fact that modern society provides so many easy ways to anonymously get some in a completely consensual manner). What I think is a lot more likely (in the mentally ill department) is that priests who went on to abuse were abused themselves at some point.

"Rights" are not conferred upon us by nature or by God. They are a human invention. We give them to ourselves by collective agreement. This putative "right" to sex is not something we will ever collectively agree to confer upon ourselves, for numerous reasons already mentioned here, including the fact that this right would infringe upon other rights which we already have conferred, and because sex is not essential to individual survival. The fact that no such right has ever been acknowledged in any human culture or society should tell us that it isn't likely to ever be acknowledged.

Oh look another ZAAP post where... hmm well damn. I pretty much agree with all that.

I knew the same kind of guys. Clueless how to react towards women, sullen and pissed about it.

Now instead of a few them hanging out and whining about how girls always go for assholes instead of nice guys like them (those F’ing B’s! - completely missing if you call them B’s you aren’t a nice guy), they get on the Internet and spool themselves up into this Incel shit.

Ross Douthat's utter witlessness as Bill Buckley grooms him to be his bottom is all you need to know about this unmasked hamburgler.



LMAO at anyone that takes this guy seriously.

I was waiting for the part where it ended in a bunch of gay sex, because the gaydar was screaming. Maybe that part was just left out of Ross' account.

No wonder he such a confused, conflicted square.

You must have missed the part where the incels don't want to pay for sex...
