Relationships

[Altissimo]

back in freud's day talking about sex was very taboo and most of his patients were married women who were very sexually frustrated.  That was why most of his understanding of psychology was so sex-driven

It's a scientific fact that sex creates an incredibly strong emotional bond between two people. It's the kind of bond that's supposed to be reserved for when two people are absolutely, fully, 100% committed to each other. Sex before marriage, before you're absolutely set on being together for the rest of your lives, can be disastrous if you decide to break up. You've formed a bond that will not break easily. Ethical arguments aside, it's a huge risk that can be easily avoided.
Besides, in my opinion, sex really shouldn't be a huge factor in what keeps your relationship together. It should be a reward for sticking through things to a lifelong commitment.

Scientific fact is a strong word not applicable here. Trust me, you can have sex without forming a powerful bond. That stuff usually only happens if you're already in love with the person/think your in love with the person. Then you find out they were only taking advantage of you and boom instant truama.

Freud is still really important to our modern underatandinf of human sexuality. He just had a bunch of really dumb shit that we have to ignore (see: penis envy.)

Wait, you're a Magnetic Resonance Angiogram? A kind of MRI scan? (Idk if that is humanly possible, lol)

A magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) is a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to provide pictures of blood vessels inside the body. ... The test is often used to look at the blood vessels that go to the brain, kidneys, and legs.

that better not be a real thing~

Freud really is important in modern psychology as a majority of our understanding of it comes from later psychologists proving him wrong with large scale studies

sorry babe, it is and it's just what you think it is

[Trainer Ave]

Tbh most people don't know what the men's rights movement is about and they just brand it as something inherently sexist when it's not. We focus on important issues that men face and we're trying to change things. Nothing about the men's rights movement is decisions in any way

[cashwarrior1]

Makes sense. I don't like supporting any movements because I don't like taking sides.

[Dudeman]

If you stand for nothing, Cash, what'll you fall for?

[mikey]

But why
Why do you even care enough about "the issues men face"
