Re: Is being against the male gaze sex negative?

Sexual attraction is not inherently objectifying. Objectifying means seeing the other person as an object, as only their for your sexual gratification. And that for me is the exact place where it goes wrong. Attraction and lust are great. But objectification is the problem. And women can do it too, but I don't see it nearly as much.

gonna copypasta my reply: "Sexual attraction, to me at least, is romanticizing aspects of a person because you want to bang them. Objectification is the extreme form of this, but all sexual attraction has an element of it. There's other components to a healthy relationship and relationship based solely on sexual attraction is not a healthy one."

I just don't agree with that. Objectification is seeing another person as an object only there for your sexual pleasure. That's not what sexual attraction has to be. Sexual attraction is just another person peaking your sexual interest. Doesn't mean you see them as an object. You can be sexually attracted and still see the other person as a person.

It might of have been more prudent to say sexual attraction is the softer form of objectification, but I don't think the rest of your post is in conflict with what I said about objectification being fine as long as it doesn't affect how you treat real people.

I don't think sexual attraction is a softer form of objectification, though. I think they are two completely different things. And objectification by its very nature affects how you treat people. If you only see them as an object and not as a person, that is always going to effect how you treat them.
