    Allow me to say upfront that my upcoming example is gross extreme hyperbole, but I sort of feel like that’s saying sex is wonderful and feels good and that’s why people are drawn to rape. I do understand your point, but like, there are other ways to bond than institutionalized bloodshedding?

    Y’all ever heard of fishing?

      Not much forges a bond like facing potential death together. And in this case, we are answering why guys get interested in war. So technically this is without bloodshed today, as the blood was shed lomg ago.

      Wouldn’t it be more like “… And that’s why people are drawn to bdsm pornography”?

      We’re talking about watching documentaries and reading books and shit, not actually going to war. Well most people at least.

        I don’t think kinky but ultimately entirely wholesome and consensual BDSM is at all comparable to the bloodshed of war. At best the better analogy is being into actual rape porn (as opposed to CNC content), imo.
