>>4415620If we are going to be technical, it’s not aesthetics, its psycho-neuro-bology.
No aesthetics in the world drives someone to fap to anime or Pikachu or furries or ponies or ugly feet or whatever (or even children for that matter). At some point ones sexual development got criss-crossed with some other imprint or trauma or surrogate or bonding - at exactly the right moment. And voila: arousal.
Im aroused or triggered by bigger bums down in my loins before I even register it aesthetically. My reproductive instinct is tickled before I even know whats happening.
Of course, once you come to realize you have some predilection your palette or tastes develop and become more nuanced and complex. You might call that aesthetics but it’s quite after the fact.
