enough about the homoerotic nature of cannibalism, what about the homoerotic nature of surgery huh??? why are you, as a man, exploring another man’s guts huh??
it’s about the intricate rituals that allow you to touch someone, the act of healing and exploration being so tied to blood and gore and seeing parts you really shouldn’t see of another person. It’s about the physicality of it all, trusting someone to not only see you so prone and vulnerable but to fix you. You’re holding my heart in your hand and I trust you to put it back in it’s proper place
it’s also about being covered in blood and how sexy that is
