That's completely false. Just because someone has an erection does not mean they're sexually or sexually attracted to anything. Erections can be a fear or stress response.

It is not "completely" false. And I'm aware other things cause them. I'm just saying it's to his credit that he likely would have had a hard time becoming aroused if he didn't think she was attractive. Get out of here with your high and mighty attitude.

How was that a high and mighty attitude? I was pointing out that your comment was wrong and I didn't even do it in a rude way. It's shitty to put it out that there just someone gets an erection means that they're attracted to whatever is going on is a toxic mindset that needs to be abolished. THAT ^ would have been a high and mighty comment. And just because you find someone attractive doesn't mean you'll automatically get an erection. Stress can cause erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

I never said that. I never once said that anything that causes an erection means that the person in question is attracted to it. You are putting words in my mouth in an attempt to make me sound bad. Newsflash: it's not going to work. Stop twisting my words to try and "win." And again, I acknowledged the fact that other things cause it. You're just deliberately ignoring my points now, so I'm done wasting my time and effort on you. If the last word is what you wanted, feel free to have it.

I wasn't trying to twist your words. I wasn't trying to make you sound bad. I was bringing up legitimate points about why it's not always the best to equate an erection with attraction. And I meant my comments about what causes erections as more of a general PSA because some people don't realize that erections can be a fear, stress, or any other type of emotional response. I know when I was younger I thought erection meant attraction and consent on the man's part which led to some very toxic thinking and victim blaming. I thought maybe one person would be interested and go educate themselves on the subject and not be the shitty person I was years ago.

#81 - I appreciate your effort. People often forget, or just don't know, that erections happen for other reasons. It's one of the main reasons male rape victims get victim blamed, mocked and discredited. Idk why the other commenter took it personally when you were just giving some general info which needs to be shared more. Don't feel bad. (:

Thanks! Honestly it's probably a combination of them having a bad day and me not explaining my point clearly. Glad you understood though :)

Again, I clarified multiple times that I understood their point. Not sure why you people don't seem capable of reading. Also, it's not that I took it personally. I just don't quite get how I can clarify the fact that I understand and accept something so many times and still be accused of not doing so.

To both of you, let me just make one last comment: just because I provide a counter-argument, that doesn't mean I don't understand what is being said. I can accept another person's point as valid and still try to clarify my own point without it cancelling out the understanding of said other point. The fact that you two- and clearly a handful of other people who have been voting down all my comments - seem to think I am denying 81's points just because I offered my own as well tells me that none of you understand that it's possible to have a discussion with someone and disagree with them. Apparently I must mindlessly accept and agree with everything the other person says and never think for myself in order to be met with any sort of intelligent or mature response. In short, yes, I do understand what 81 was trying to say. Yes, I do accept that they have valid points. But so did I. If you don't choose to agree with that, fine. But don't treat me like an idiot for trying to make my own point clear.
