Summary
This document is an essay arguing that cultural definitions of sex are narrowly and harmfully focused on reproduction and the pleasure of stereotypical men. The author uses examples like the sexual 'base system' and a Kink.com 'virgin shoot' to illustrate how penis-in-vagina intercourse is privileged as 'real sex,' which limits sexual exploration and marginalizes the pleasure of women and non-stereotypical men. The Bates number 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_018481' indicates it is an exhibit in a congressional investigation.
