"Just Like That" is a phrase that is, AFAIK, associated with Female foreplay, Sex and Porn. How did such a sexualised phrase become so popularized that it came to be used in everyday speech by young and old and for non-sexual things as well or am I totally mistaken about its origins?

Considering that such a significant event as the 'Circassian Genocide' of 1.5m largely Muslim Caucasians at the hands of Tsarist Russia is unheard of in the West, can history ever be objectively discussed/relayed without historians falling into the trap of subconscious preferences/interests?
