    I’m wearing a catheter for 4 weeks due to surgery, basically anything arouses me by now but there’s nothing I can do about it.

          So I like the OP as just a standalone, kinda surreal combination of image and question, removed from its original context. But to try and add a little back, without just giving it away: think about what the word ‘being’ does to the sentence, and the difference taking it out would make. Then think about which question you said ‘I am not’ to.

              Since someone went ahead and posted the image source (I was wondering how long that was going to take, lol), ‘Are you sexually aroused’ is a different question than ‘Are you being sexually aroused’ - as in, is someone/something trying to arouse you. This speaks to the original context of the image (the idea that images like this may contain subliminal cues to induce arousal). Might not have been as helpful a clue as I thought it would. A better one would probably have been ‘ignore the word ‘sexually’, then read the sentence with and without the word ‘being’’ or something.

              I’m thinking I went waay too weird/unnerving here. Honestly, I just liked the picture and the weird feeling it has - obviously folks can dig deeper on it (both re: its original context and what kind of things it might point to when recontextualized as a shitpost, particularly here), but that’s truly not what I was going for. For my purposes it’s just a glass with a spooky vibe.

              Will say I’m super open to anyone on the spectrum narrating their experience looking at this, as it does look like it frustrated/pissed off some people a bit and I’d be curious to hear exactly why.

    This book has the weirdest interpretation of this image (and other advertising images), like isolating little details and positing that they’re supposed to make you think of boobs or vaginas and hypnotize you into buying things.

    I’m either too far on the autism spectrum or too far on the asexual one. Perhaps at an intersection.

    Is that the guy with the gas pump nozzle up his ass whacking off in the center or my parents getting divorced again?
