Not all of us. Any kind of praise or compliment is awkward like someone trying to put a crumpled dollar bill into a vending machine.

Good job for finding this, OP!
I laughed a little too hard. I can see it.
Wrong, idiot, I don't trust praise and respond to ridicule with escalation.

But no that's literally nonsense.
Everything always has to turn sexual...
Yeah, because we're kind of hardwired to be sexual creatures, just as we're hardwired to be social creatures. Reproduction is the point of life, after all.
Repression and uncomfortableness with pleasure, sex, kink, all these things, is largely a cultural construct devised and pushed by those in charge, and not necessarily a natural effect.
And sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Everything mostly is.
Like, much of who you are is based on sex hormones.
Anybody got sources on this effect? When I search I see a bunch of wellness blogs, but no studies or clinic articles (which makes me worried).
