This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I wouldn't exactly say this, but also I'm trying to use the word 'kink' in the way I'm told the kinksters do. To whom I understand it means roughly, "oddly specific, typically inherently ungratifying thing I must do to get off."
My complaint is that having sex with gratification from the intent to reproduce isn't oddly specific -- it's just part of why people have sex. That's why I compared the concept to an orgasm kink and to demisexuality: it's not oddly specific, it doesn't need to be called out, we don't need to give it a specific name, it's genuinely just part of the constellation of common reasons people feel gratified by sex. "Ooh, I like having sex while thinking about making a baby." Yeah, and so does a huge chunk of women and a reasonably large chunk of men.
If you notice, I'm actually making a descriptive argument, not a proscriptive one: I'm saying the term is a misnomer that uses termomology reserved for unusual things to describe something usual. It harms our understanding of sexuality rather than helping it.
If this were what people meant by 'breeding kink,' I'd have to give it to them. But my understanding is that it's generally used to describe, essentially, vaginal sex to completion. Which is the most vanilla sex act known to man.
If it meant what you seem to suggest, I would argue it would meet the definition of a kink, because it would be inherently ungratifying. There are no records of mind-shattering female orgasms at fertility clinics when women receive intrauterine insemination. (It is also the least inherently gratifying possible sex act for a man that I can imagine -- if you can even call it a 'sex act.')
The other way animals are bred just involves a stallion going to town, which I'd argue is better described by other kink names, including, if relevant, petplay kinks.
I have now fulfilled my yearly mandate of unnecessary discussion of kink, with one day to spare.
Interesting. I guess what makes it breeding "kink" in my mind is that it's getting sexual arousal from the thought of becoming pregnant. It's less obvious to me how prevalent that is. Lots of people want to be pregnant and have sex with the goal of becoming pregnant but for what fraction is becoming pregnant sexually arousing?
My impression is that a breeding link is often coupled with (though not identical to) what is being described in this paragraph and often subsumed under the same name.
