About this episode

This episode explores the twisted forms of love, phobos and thanatos, and their implications in sexual-romantic contexts.

In this essay, I discuss the twisted forms of love, phobos and thanatos. Phobos is the love of unhealthy aspiration that drives us to hate the "lower" parts of ourselves. Thanatos is the love of our current world's desires to the exclusion of any aspirational self. I then explore the sexual-romantic worlds opened up by these different forms of love in feminist and manosphere men.
