A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

CBT as a kink may be an evolutionary adaptation to protect men's most vulnerable (and evolutionarily useful) body part. (lemmy.ml)

I have no idea why it's out there, but I suppose abusing it a bit may help toughen it up enough to ensure you can still have children when an accident happens.

We’re taking about cognitive behavioural therapy and brains, right?

I was really trying to wrap my head around CBT as a kink and came up totally blank.

conditioning is already a part of many kinks, like discipline, corruption, or hypno

Just imagine how horny you could be right now if you changed your thinking just a little bit.

Nah, CBT is just your good old Cock and Ball Torture. I don't think there is any evolutionary advantage, source: I've never seen any other species perform it (trust me I've looked). But I do think some men pay for it rather than paying for therapy so there's that.
