Dickotomy - The Dichotomy of Dick

As a gay man I have observed a strange phenomenon when it comes to the pursuit of dick both in my own behaviour and in the behaviour of other gay men. I am going to refer to this a the dichotomy of dick - or dickotomy.

The shortest explanation I can give, is that the more emotional potential a connection has, the more resistant we seem to be when it comes to sexual advances and their timings.

One thing I love about Bluesky is the communal acceptance that Horny-on-main is the default, this is enabled by the fact that you can tag posts as adult or nudity using labels and anyone who hasn't opted in to seeing posts of that nature won't see it. You have to enable adult content when you join, it's off by default.

Preserving Positivity

I spend a lot of time online, some of that time is spent by choice in my free time, the rest is by necessity as most of my disposable income comes from the internet. When you spend a lot of time online you get to see unsolicited opinions almost constantly, knowing these are opinions and not facts makes them easy to ignore but I do recognise that the ability to differentiate between opinion and fact is a point of critical thinking that people seem to be increasingly lacking.

When you can't tell the difference between an opinion and a fact it leaves you open to influence, some people make entire careers out of exploiting that point of ignorance, people we aptly refer to as influencers.
