Label Theory 3 - Attraction (Aesthetic, Romantic, and Sexual)
Welcome to my Label Theory video on Attraction, the third in the series.
I have to be honest - I'm scared out of my mind to release this video, to found out that I'm going to lose friends because of this, and to potentially have people rethink their relationship with me.
I still think this video is important, which is why I'm releasing it publicly. If you think that I'm diving straight into the deep end on TMI, that's your choice - just skip the video, I won't feel bad. I will say that I don't think anything in this video is NSFW, nor do I say anything that I wouldn't tell a theoretical thirteen year old child of mine using the same words.
The video is also super long; I encourage people to watch it in phases, and use the timestamps below to help keep track as to where you are. Or look if skipping around. Or just enjoying my lovely section titles!
I tried to use the auto-transcription feature of YouTube and fix the subtitles where they decided I was speaking gibberish, but I don't think I caught everything. If you do watch with subs and see something wrong, let me know? I couldn't comb through the entire thing.
tl;dw: I'm PAPDPSID. What does that mean? Hell if I know, yay!
