I think Greg might have slight PTSD, I mean he is being accused of multiple charges that involve around assult and shit like that, He might have developed PTSD when he found out about what his father did, So he slowly over time started to copy what his father was doing. It's a crappy theory the more I think of it

@Jatsko I saw, thank you for the feedback

And I remember seeing a thing which suggests there may be a correlation

"The best way to invalidate your own thoughts is to say them in front of other people"

I'm a dumbass so my theory instantly sucks

I think Greg has a lot of things, Lizzie

Honestly he probably does

Which I think you could extend to more or less say that people who come up with ridiculous sexual/gender identities, which would be considered sexual deviance, are not mentally sound

_sounds awfully neurotypical_

Lmao

I

Treating all mental disorders as just being a variance is pretty dangerous

.. i don’t think anyone irl is

but anyway

I'm not qualified to talk about most of this stuff, just qualified to make dumb jokes about it simply through existing

Omg somebody’s got mortal kombat

well theres a reason why girls who tend to have a more active sex life and possibly do some questionable things created the sort of "stereotype" of girl with daddy issues, because mental trauma can push people towards unhealthy behaviour and coping mechanisms...but addressing it as mentally sound doesnt seem like the right wording and extending to that point also doesnt seem right

I cant think of how to phrase what i want to say properly rn, but i think yall get what I mean

I'm not qualified either but gee, it makes me happy when I find evidence that can confirm my biases

"mental trauma can push people towards unhealthy behaviour and coping mechanisms" this seems reasonable

Is having lots of sex unhealthy though

well yeah... that’s a fact

on what jatsko said*

yeah, but I use can because not necessarily everyone drifts to that behaviour

sorry, messages sending late

Why do you think promiscuity is unhealthy?

"addressing it as mentally sound doesnt seem like the right wording and extending to that point also doesnt seem right"

I don't see why "mentally sound" has to be a problem term. Trauma is affecting something, and I would say it's megatively affecting the otherwise (relatively) sound state your mind would have.

its not having lots of sex, its the relationship implied and the reasons behind

idk when I hear "not mentally sound" I've always heard it with very negative connotations, so maybe its just me and it was out of place.

Well I don't think anyone would associate trauma with anything positive, so

unless you mean they're using it as a pejorative or something

Personally, I don't see *why* someone who is able to maintain a healthy, intimate relationship would instead engage in sex with many different people just for quick satisfaction

i mean very negative to the extreme, and usually associated with people who are deemed crazy

Unless you're a hedonistic bastard, I guess

Even then, I think having a romantic bond is more pleasurable than being a slut. So I don't really get it

For myself, I would only imagine having casual sex with someone as a resort because I'm unable to find a romantic other, which causes a feeling of social alienation, and that causes a thought of gaining social power by means of sex

yeah... I know someone who acted this way and has had a long string of relationships where due to abandonnement issues led to them really just seeking the temporary attention and validation because of what was lacking during their childhood. they werent really treating the people they dated all that great and tended to lie about where they were, what they were doing, eventually started cheating, and i feel like that does relate to deviant behaviour due to a mental state

I think that having a long string of sexual relations comes more from trying to replace a lack of an emotional bond that was seeked but not attained, and that was then replaced with physical relations with various people. Its not so much a matter of not being able to have an emotional bond or preferring to have a physical, but trying to replace something that isnt there otherwise, at least for the circumstances I'm thinking of

Yeah. Which makes me afraid because I was emotionally isolated as a child, most relationships I saw between adults weren't that good, my parents divorced when I was about 12, don't know if I need to go on

ah
