i've come up with a variety of theories so far but none really track.

Can people ask questions normally like mature adults for a while without baiting for negative reactions?

how is that "baiting for negative reactions"?

[–] Nytefyre@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gee, I don't know, how about read the first thing you wrote before asking your question?

hmm ok then what would be a more neutral way of saying it? "prudish" is not an insult i think, at least it wasn't meant as one. what would be a more neutral expression?

prudish people, why do you hate sex?

  • If you could be considered a prudish person when it comes to sex, can you explain why your stance on it is what it is?
  • If you hate sex, can you tell us why?
  • Could we have some asexual people explain how and why they realized that was the way they were?

Probably a lot better ways than that, also. The phrasing of your question implies something that isn't true for all "prudes".
