    Hey peeps, I'm pretty sure they're reacting to the SECOND "normal" statement, not the first.

    It's not normal to suppress your libido to fit in.

    It is societally expected in much of the world, however - and the degree to which it’s expected also varies with gender and culture.

    Note that I’m saying this as someone who has largely decided to reject societal expectations, and who is a fuckload happier as a result.

    What you want to be normal and what is actually normal are not the same thing. Regardless of best wishes, it actually is normal in a shocking number of places. Unless you're referring exclusively to the small social circle you live in, but that's not really a useful data point for us to discuss, because it's not what the conversation is actually about.
