""Sex Recession" The Atlantic"


          

Long, interesting perspective on younger people having less sex. The writer takes a very heteronormative stance and says women are saying no to sex, thus driving down sexual activity.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/12/the-sex-recession/573949/

Excerpt
"Polyamory is a household word. Shame-laden terms like perversion have given way to cheerful-sounding ones like kink. Anal sex has gone from final taboo to “fifth base”—Teen Vogue (yes, Teen Vogue) even ran a guide to it. With the exception of perhaps incest and bestiality—and of course nonconsensual sex more generally—our culture has never been more tolerant of sex in just about every permutation."

So much to investigate, but as a Gen Xer who has dated millennials, the men are NOT pressed for pussy as much as men born between 1969-1977.

We can't ignore social media, internet porn, pharma and our dietary changes.

Sex as entertainment is just not the goal anymore. I think sex for intimacy, children, pleasure and connection is gaining more traction.

But for now, exercise, starting a business, anything with a screen and self worth are on the upswing.

I meant that the writer put so much on women denying sex and I don't know how this plays out in a same sex relationship.

That's like equating the U.S. and California.

Younger men are very ambitious and many have been exposed to sex very early. One guy told me he was so tired of women automatically throwing the cat at him. He wanted more substance.

I think it is awesome, espeically for black men, to put their thirst aside for more depth.

All my millennial men with sexual discernment are doing very well in the personal lives, no random babies and no self esteem issues.

Prowess doesn't rely on promiscuity, but authentic passion. No, you don't have to bag numbers to prove you are a man. Yet if you are hetero and throwing away pussy because there is too much out there, it worries me deeply. There is an increase in masturbation, but less sex? My generation never saw masturbation as a viable alternative, more of a stopgap. I openly question the pharcyde rapper who was like, "should I wake up my girl again or get the cocoa butter?"(WTF-Good Morning dick anybody?). Responding to feminine desires and "getting it up" like the Time sang when you are attracted to that woman without any entanglements should never be something to take for granted. I've heard that women are only so patient, even with the guys they really like. The "peen" is supposed to be a magic stick for the woman that wants it, not a way to break their heart.

You ain’t getting it regularly best believe the relationship won’t last unless you lean towards being asexual

We were supposed to panic because the youths were having SO MUCH sex. It was all rainbow parties and orgies and knockout games and some of them are even doing it with people with the same genitals as them, the horrors. Now the youths aren't fucking enough?

Make up your minds.

25 year olds not fucking? Not so good. Likely a sign of bigger problems.
