Sartre’s universalized horror of slime is merely his personal phobia.

Evidence

I think much could be deducted from this theoretical analysis of slime about Sartre’s own phobia. He presents this horror of slime as a universal reaction, but I think the reader can come up with as many examples as I of their own enjoyment at playing with slimy things (as children or adult). While a common nightmare is to be sinking in moving sands, a good number of people do enjoy mud baths, a slimy experience if there is one! — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 118
