Peter, I really liked this article. Your substack was on the recommendation list of [JD Goulet](https://jdgoulet.substack.com/ )’s. (Disenchantments & Discoveries).
I cynically think that most cishet people will not deign to describe their lives (sexual or otherwise) in this way. They blunder around, making assumptions about what their partner wants or needs, without even realizing it is an assumption. (I can hear the replies from them now: not all cishet people!)
And the quiverful / Gothard / Institute in Basic Life Principles, popularized to the mainstream through the Duggars, just grosses me out.
Sigh. But I’m old and anxiety-ridden, and there is always hope.
Thank you so much for this Peter, I’m excited to read this series. You’re so right that it’s strange to think of sexuality this way, and I didn’t know the history of it!
Glad I can help syntheizie it! This kind of history is definitely not common knowledge. Thankfully it's all still publicly available tho. And yeah isn't it weird? So many constructs we take for granted start to sound absurd under scrutiny.
