    They both ellicit the same hormonal response regardless of if it’s “secondary.” You could dampen that response by normalizing women being topless, but you could also normalize complete nudism and achieve the same thing for primary sexual characteristics…

    It’s just a subjective line we draw. It could be my sexual trauma speaking but I’d personally rather we make the line even between sexes than move it down.

      Not sure if you’re using a speech-to-text thing that chose the wrong homophone but “illicit” and “elicit” have different meanings. If something is illicit, it’s against the rules. Something elicited is brought forth.

      I associate “illicit” with “illegal” and “elicit” with “evoke” and, even if it’s not an exact match for both meanings, it’s close enough to get to the right one.
