Sorry if this is long, I just had to say it.

I saw comments about the post-script and frankly, my curiosity won so I just read it, not the story. And seeing how much bullshit she was saying, I might never read the all story.

I am in no way a philosoph nor a psychologist, actually, I don't even have a university degree. Sorry if my english is bad and that's just my thinking, I'm not waiting for you to read it.

So yeah, thanks Freud, he helped quite a bit in psychology and was part of the one that made it start. His most interesting theory are probably the ones on the dreams, not on reproduction. Why?
First, because if I just take into account what the author said, we are just animals.
Sure, we have instincts, and in my opinion, those instincts makes us want to live. The day our partners in self-preservation dies, we will mostly find a new one and not at all be pressured to the instinct of death. (yeah, we are talking about instinct if I believe what she says, not love, I'll talk about that part later. Sorry if my all thing is confusing.). Like for anything else (food, water, death.). Take the worst mafia guy, he will most likely beg like a bitch to spare his life. But then again, there are exceptions.

Second, comes the homosexuality. The reason why it was actually a crime and known as a disease at Freud's time by the way. Thanks God, society evolved. Because right, following the reproduction's instincts from that theory, a male would never fall in love with another male. Because that's not in animals' self preservation instincts. And just her believing Freud's theory denies the sole existence of homosexuality. Then again, that was why it was viewed as abnormal. And that's when I ask myself... How old is she? Is she new to psychology? Does she have a brain or just some thought for herself? Why is she even drawing bl?

Third, that bullshit theory is not romantic at all. Not for bls, not for humans, for nothing at all actually. Homosexuality is denied by this theory, humans are denied by this theory, romance is denied by it too.

And now, just the way I think:
"I think so I am". Sadly, in a big society, it becomes "we think, so we are" from one and only same voice. The sheep theory so. That's what pressures homosexuals to thanatos, because yes, they are a minority and since the beginning of all the time, we can't even imagine how many cruelty were done to them. And it's that exact same quote that also gives them rights.
Sex is not only an act of self-preservation. Because nope, we are not only animals, we are animals that have feelings, thoughts and most of all, desires. That's what made society evolve this far, because some people understood this theory is nothing but bullshit. We'd all want babies in this case, and all the ones not wanting them would have commited suicide or be pressured to death one way or another as it was for homosexuals at a time. Love exists because we have a "conscience", which makes us decide, whatever we need, want etc. Yes, there are basic instincts, we eat and drink because we need to. But even those are more of a desire in society. You won't eat shit just because you need to eat. You still choose what you want to eat. But then, if you have to do so to survive someday, you'd most likely eat shit. Same for reproduction. You do want babies, but more out of love and the desire of having a family rather than "self-preservation". It's the same with sex. Or else, you would just take the first "woman in heat" to reproduce. WTH.

I don't know if this made sense or not, but frankly, it's hard to explain in a foreign language. But her "realization where her personnal understanding and reproduction changes" was the reason why homosexual were approved of so late. Because "self-preservation" denies the possibility of a man loving another man (same for women huh, just that she had to make a yaoi.) And finding this on a yaoi manga is ridiculous. But well, I remember why I didn't even take a look at the summary and all, she mostly draws shoujo. She should continue if she wants "self-preservation" but leave yaoi alone.
