People underestimate the degree to which their desires are programmed by the culture around them.

It’s a lot.

As a general example, a lot of American men and women “say” they like a partner who trims/shaves their pubic hair.
But in China, that’s not the case at all. And in the 1970s, many Americans didn’t shave their privates.

So consider that for a moment.

Really reflect on it.

That deeply sexual, physical preference is actually a product of mimicry and culture.

Not biology.
That’s how deep the rabbit hole runs.

That’s how easy it is to have your desires rewired & overwritten by the people around you—by the words you read and experiences you have.

You are not just malleable—you’re an operating system without a firewall.
