6. I'm definately not a 'sex object' but I wouldn't say
I'm ugly, either.


I think you're wrong in your assessment :shrug:

18. That is not true,
and it belittles a whole lot of people who do not want to be nothing more than sex objects.

7. it depends on who is objectifying you and why
if you are objectified for commercial reasons that maybe quite different than if you are objectified on du as a hottie

8. Nothing, unless you're deceived into believing you are more.
In that case, everything.

As far as sex objects go, not much...
:rofl:

As a human, or at least a very close approximation, I am doing rather well. Must be the vitamin supplements... thank you for asking! How are you?

10. when the whole world treats you as a sex object, they are imparting the message
that the only value you have is your sex appeal. Any other talent you have is worthless compared to the possibility of having sex with you. i.e. "she's a doctor/artist/philanthropist? whatever , is she hot?" If you're only noticed for your sex appeal, when you lack sex appeal (say with normal aging) you have become officially worthless. People actively ignore you.

I know you were just being sarcastic, but this is what is wrong with being a sex object.

12. That depends on your being "dishwasher safe" or not.
I mean, it gets pretty hot during the drying cycle.

22. I think most reasonable people would prefer to be thought of as people...
and not objects.

24. Which makes the difference between a relationship & a one night stand.
Even though people can get STDs, people who treat other people as objects would hardly have any qualms spreading STDs.

At least, in theory.
