When people call sex "breeding".
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.
I only use "breeding" to refer disparagingly to the actions of those who believe that having kids is mandatory or, at least, unavoidable.
That's how I thought it was used.
I'd say that is more about a kink than anything remotely religious
I'm not typically one to kink shame, but that's just creepy.
I uh... I'm not sure what your source is, but for mine 'breeding' is anything but "only for procreation"
E: in case it isn't painfully obvious, I am le gay, so that may factor into your source woes :p
that made sense, i was thinking breeding is a gay term, and often used gay porn alot, for young/older trope, which another cringe thing.
It kinda depends on context.
A gay guy? Hedonistic, in the best way.
An incel? Puritanical, in the worst way.
Apparently it's urban slang.
Sounds like some misogynistic nonsense to me.
I'm in a rural area of a red state.
It really sucks here.
Ouch, sorry, my condolences
It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through "Puritanical thingy". Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans 😬 [ANSWER RECEIVED]
Did you look them up? That's basically what most of the mainstream US churches are based off of.
I had to as I am not (like veeeerrry far away) familiar at all with any mainstream US churches phrases. At least, I have learnt something new
