    "What would make someone, anyone, phobic of their curiosity? What might be endangering about curiosity?"

    We could send a ship and a crew out to Big Ben and ask Rorsach.

    That looks very interesting to go read it, but on the other hand who knows where this curiosity might lead to?!

    > (though Freud makes it clear that when it comes to sexuality, it is never entirely clear what it would be to satisfy our curiosity about sex)

    Indeed. For such a predictably basic animal behavior, us humans (who pride our humanity as anything but animals) have an insatiable curiosity for "better" sex...

    ... (Perhaps more so for men then women)
