If you are a monk who has committed to celibacy and given up money, who only eats what people put into your begging bowl, money and sexuality are still apart of your life. I’m arguing that it is impossible to separate our sexuality from our existence.

Celibacy is a choice. they must acknowledge their desires and then reject it. What im saying is theres nothing to reject because it never comes to mind.

I think there is a misunderstanding. Im saying some people have a disconnect with others. Yes, you cant go far in the world without sexual things plastered everywhere... but theres people that dont really understand why that is.

A little anecdote story... a few months ago, I was messing around with AI art, and I genned some "waifu" art that wasnt even very lewd. I shared it with some friends and their response was "aw shes cute, I would totally go on a date with her", and I felt a bit happy that I could relate with them. but then, they made the additional comment "and afterward, take her back to my place and have fun ;)". it really caught me off guard and thought to myself "wait what? oh... I forgot people do that...". Now if the art was indeed lewd, it wouldnt suprised me as I understand the context well enough to make assumptions...

im not really sure my example helps you to understand. it's difficult to really explain honestly.
