F* Freud

Don’t worry, I’ll address an abnormal sexual behavior also, but I just wanted to comment on how messed up Freud’s ideology was. There was one bullet from the slides that just grinds my gears. “Freud taught that any sexual behavior that took precedence over heterosexual vaginal intercourse was immature and possibly a sign of serious psychological disturbance.”

So wait. My pansexual, non hetero-conforming, self is seriously psychologically disturbed? Well I might be, but not because I deviate from heterosexual vaginal intercourse.

Now onto the paraphilias. I have come across some wild fetishes online and I just wanted to talk about one that we didn’t talk about in class because I think it is absolutely bonkers and I don’t even know how the people who have this fetish think it would be possible. We’re talking about melissophilia. The sexual fetish for bees, wasps, and any insect that can sting.

I’m sorry to anyone who thinks this is normal, but this is batshit crazy. This is nothing like the Bee Movie, where a human falls in love with a bee, but these people literally catch bees with the intentions of getting them to sting their genitals. These people have reported catching bees in a jar, shaking them around so that they are drowsy and unable to fly away, and then they just giving them a mushroom stamp. This prompts the bee to sting them, killing the bee, and causing an intense rush of blood flow to the penis. Apparently this heightens sensitivity (duh? you just got stung on the penis by a bee?) and makes orgasms last longer and feel better.

I just struggle to understand why this is a course of action that anyone would find satisfaction in… I cry from a bee sting, how does it sexually arouse someone? Please comment if you have any thought or ideas related to this fetish because it’s baffling me and I just felt like it needed some attention.

Signing off from the semester, and college as a whole. See ya at graduation!
