It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I could have done without all that.

What do you mean? Your statement could be taken as very much in line with the spirit of this thread?

. . . I thought you were Catholic? Don't you see the Catholic doctrine seeping out of that statement?

Not really. Everything involves sex or sexual orgains with you. News flash - everything does not involve sex or sexual organs.

I hate having to explain a joke. The idea of conveying something via the power of ‘invisible masculinity’ made me think of one of my dogs staring at me like it wants to communicate something. Is it having a thought, or does it just want to take a ****? Does invisible masculine logic have explanatory power, or is that just a load of ****e? Comparison. Also not meant literally.
Well, you need to elaborate on that. My brain is not what it used to be. What do you mean?

Aw, OK. Thanks for the patience. As I said, my brain got softer with the years. Assuming sentences like "my brain" make sense, since I am what that blob between my ears compute.
I could not have thought that, since the only pet I tolerate is a huge spider. Her name is Arabella,

Good name for a spider.
Yes. She is totally cute and very elegant.I wish God would have made us with eight arms, too. Imagine the fugues Bach would have created if he had had eight arms.
It is sad that He thought that apes were better suited to be in His image. I mean, what is so great about apes. They look pretty gross, and they are not elegant at all. They cannot even fly. Which is something I would have endowed my preferred being with, if I had been God.
However, God has a very good excuse for His poor decisions. His not existence. Who can claim a better excuse?

Well, I like bananas, so perhaps I’m biased. Some primates are pretty handy when it comes to howling and throwing things, I’ve never seen a spider do that. If they could, things would escalate pretty quickly, with all those arms. Might be why we haven’t been contacted by any off world spider civilisations.

It wouldn't be original for me to point out that, at least for men, everything is a sublimation for sexual fulfillment, everything.
I don't see that as profane, but natural (for men at least). So it's naturally natural to see even morality itself as a sublimation for sex so far as men, theological or otherwise, are concerned. Religion is a sublimation for sex. Politics is a sublimation for sex. Art is a sublimation for sex. That doesn't make any of it bad. It's just what it is. . . Of course, par for the course, I'm mainsplaining again.

John,
Suffice it to say that for years I've wondered about your posts...and with this statement, I now understand why it wasn't clear to me (No one said I was quick on the uptake, and I'm definitely slower than I was just a few years ago...
)...You see everything through the analytic lens of sexual sublimation...
I do not.
Thank you for providing me with this illumination. May you have a wonderful and blessed day!

These are merely your opinions. My opinion is different. Everything is not a sublimation.

The thread name pointed out that I would be taking a stab at mansplaining the metaphysics of masculinity. I can agree with your statement to the extent that we concede, with little difficulty, that masculinity is, for all men, a spectrum rather than an objective singularity. Once we concede that, it's fairly easy to admit that your statement isn't problematic for the proposition that for "masculinity" in general (rather that for "men," since "men" speaks of a spectrum of masculinity) everything is a sublimation for sexual desire.
We could then say that for men on one side of the spectrum of masculinity (closer to the feminine pole) few things are sublimation for sexual desire, without affecting the concept that on the other pole, closest to strict masculinity, everything is sublimation for sexual desire.
