    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.

          I’ve known a few people who used “breeding” as a kink word and I’m like motherfuckers i raised four kids it’s not a fucking kink, it’s a lifelong occupation.

      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 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
