I've been reading on the concept of the intimate demon. Is it just a myth, or do people actually think in its existence? What are your thoughts?
I consider it's mostly a myth rooted in cultural beliefs and folklore. Many cultures have stories about intimate demons that prey on people's wants.
I see it as more of a metaphor for our concealed erogenous urges and fears. It's like personifying the taboo aspects of sensuality.
That's an interesting perspective! Some individuals may possibly interpret it differently based on their experiences. Have any of you had encounters where you felt this idea was applicable?
I've had times where I felt overwhelmed by desire, almost as if some thing was controlling me. It's a strange feeling!
I can relate! It can feel like a battle in between your rational mind and primal instincts. It's fascinating how those ideas persist throughout cultures.
Yes! It shows how sensuality is such a complex topic that intersects with psychology, culture, and even spirituality.
