We don’t instantly tie it with sex when a father and his very young daughter are taking a bath together.

What is the reason for writing X^2 as XX instead of X*X?

Yaoi

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.

What is music publishing?

“None of my business” is the common attitude.
