    Why does it matter that it’s a cultural construction or not? The important part is that he was, just like I said, desensitized to parts people in western societies consider sexual. He no longer had that sexual response to boobs for a while.

      Because it’s just one anecdote and the reason for the result is important. If it’s cultural, then we can generalize the reduction possibly to zero… If it’s not then we cannot expect that. I don’t believe it’s mostly cultural and don’t believe we should expect significant extinction in a general population.
