People Divulge Which Seemingly Normal Things Are Sexualized For No Reason

Sometimes we just can't help ourselves, can we?

We see sex everywhere.

It's astonishing.

Maybe it's because we've just been inundated with it. Sex. Sex. Sex.

Thanks, Madonna.

I think there are some things we need to take a long, hard look at and then question our mindset.

Now get your minds out of the gutter.


Redditor ChaseSmith42609 asked:

"What completely normal thing is sexualized for literally no reason at all?"

Sponge bath time...

"Nurses. I’ve been a nurse and worked in a hospital for 15+ years. There is nothing sexy happening."

"Saying ‘daddy’ I said it when I was 12 once to my dad and my friends tormented me over it for the entire month."

"I hate this so much. I always called my dad 'daddy' and even though he passed away 8 years ago I still refer to him that way. If using daddy in the bedroom is someone’s thing fine I don’t care that’s their business but please stop sexualizing it or saying it’s weird. My mom and her siblings are all in their sixties and still refer to their father as 'Daddy' and he’s been dead for over twenty years... lol."

Just a Mention

"Mentioning you have a friend of the opposite sex to your parents."

JerzGelato

"This is why I always lie and say that the guy friend I was talking to earlier is a girl. Every time I mention it's a guy, they always go 'Ooh, do you like him?' or 'He must like you if you talk so much.' Like, bruh, no we don't like each other. For starters, that guy is gay AF, those two have girlfriends, that guy wants to become a priest, and the other guy just straight up hates me."

Get Dressed

"School uniforms. Any uniforms, really, but especially school uniforms."

"EvenSpoonierOnly Japanese or Catholic school uniforms though. My school uniform was khakis and a collared shirt, so unless Jake from state farm gets your rocks off, you probably mean Japanese or Catholic schools."

LordNikoli

"I never understood when women (mainly in TV and movies but irl too) would practically melt when they see a man in a uniform, even if it's a postman or something. Am I the odd one for not seeing the appeal?"

"Children’s 'Beauty Pageants'... No, No , No. Not right at all, on ANY level. These should be banned, with NO question !!!! Just... NO !!!"

BadStitch626

"I'm an ex-military, big scary-looking old fart, but the feeling those pageants give me can be best summarised as 'icky'. Looking at the people involved gives me the heebie-jeebies."

Salty_Paroxysm

Title says 'completely normal thing' and I'm gonna be honest I've never seen or heard of a children's beauty pageant that I would describe as 'normal.'"

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
