The Norm Storm

What would happen if there were a sudden reversal of social attitudes towards sexual intercourse and eating? People would engage in sexual activities shamelessly and without inhibition, and they would quietly have their meals behind closed curtains, away from anyone's view.

Sexual intercourse, eating, and even sleep are essential elements for human existence, often referred to as the three basic human needs.

So why is it that only sexual intercourse is accompanied by the emotion of "shame"?

In this work, I critique the concept of what we consider "normal" based on anthropology and religious studies, while exploring the deep connection between eating and sexual intercourse, referencing examples such as the ASMR phenomenon that has become increasingly prevalent in recent years.
