    When people call sex “breeding”.

    It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.

      I only use “breeding” to refer disparagingly to the actions of those who believe that having kids is mandatory or, at least, unavoidable.

        That’s how I thought it was used.

      I’d say that is more about a kink than anything remotely religious

        I’m not typically one to kink shame, but that’s just creepy.

      It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through “Puritanical thingy”. Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans 😬 [ANSWER RECEIVED]

        [ANSWER RECEIVED]

        Did you look them up? That’s basically what most of the mainstream US churches are based off of.

      I uh… I’m not sure what your source is, but for mine ‘breeding’ is anything but “only for procreation”

      E: in case it isn’t painfully obvious, I am le gay, so that may factor into your source woes :p

        that made sense, i was thinking breeding is a gay term, and often used gay porn alot, for young/older trope, which another cringe thing.

        It kinda depends on context.

        A gay guy? Hedonistic, in the best way.

        An incel? Puritanical, in the worst way.

        Apparently it’s urban slang.

        Sounds like some misogynistic nonsense to me.

            I’m in a rural area of a red state.

            It really sucks here.
