    Sex is supposed to be a fun bonding experience. I see no problem. If you can’t have dumb fun with your naked bestie who can you have fun with

      Tell that to the entire generation of young people, young men in particular, who have grown up being fed absolute bullshit and nonsense from youtube influencers, fountains of porn, and forums of incels screaming about their kinks and self-flagellating in shame because because they haven’t learned emotional regulation yet.

      Birth rates are crashing. People have stopped dating in rates that are literally disastrous for our future. People take relationships and sex so seriously now that we’ve basically drawn battle-lines between the sexes and everyone is mortally scared of everyone else and even more insecure and lonely than ever.

        Nature eventually balances itself in an environment, in a ecosystem.

        Just a few years ago the billionaires were running the story in all media that the world is too overpopulated and can’t handle more than 9 billion and there won’t be enough resources. Suddenly after covid they realize that they need the wage slave feudal system for their power and now boo hoo nobody is making children anymore.

          I don’t think the causes are being studied nearly as much just showing the data that there is very sharp drop in people’s desires to have families.

          Socioeconomics is a huge part of it, but it’s not the only part. We could do a helluva lot more in the USA by just introducing even the most modest socialist programs like nationalized healthcare and more support for poor families trying to raise kids.

          Conservative pundits and nutcases like Elon Musk pound on this as a racial issue, people claim that it’s part of a “great replacement” but that ignores the giant hole in their claim that even in undeveloped and more socialist countries birth rates are dropping and people are becoming less social. Letting in more migrants may save places like South Korea (who presently are in the situation where their women have to each have five kids, and their kids each have to have five kids or cities will collapse) but it’s not a long-term solution because the places migrants come from are also feeling the effect of this mystery syndrome, it just takes longer to catch up.

          I have a strong feeling it’s going to be shown that population intelligence, fertility and happiness are directly tied to how much time we spend on the internet scrolling for interesting content or reading forums. Good content or bad, my personal belief is our brains probably weren’t wired to be able to handle reading and seeing so many conflicting ideas, thoughts and voices in a constant, never-ending firehose of content. I don’t think regulating or banning the internet is the answer, but we are absolutely going to have to change our relationship with it and we have to tear down the giant corporations trying to figure out ways to keep you glued to it longer.

            Are you saying that unless we tear down all the monopolies (whether by way of reform or revolution (or both)) and encourage collective action, the film Idiocracy might come true, but hundreds of years earlier?

      The naked grandmother and former meth addict I met on Facebook dating?

      You think I’m making a tasteless joke, but now who’s the one being judgmental?

    The best sex I’ve ever had was with a woman who regularly (temporarily) cockblocked herself by making me laugh so hard I couldn’t stay hard

      A partner and I once got into an uncontrollable giggling fit when I referred to sex as ‘thrusty cuddles’.

      I had a similar response at a Maria Bamford show I went to earlier in the year when she said “I like it when he puts his dingle in my wet plop.”

      And now I’m giggling again.

        The one I remember most clearly is like… sorry in advance for tmi. Do not continue reading if you dont want to read a sex story

        So we tended to do a decent amount of foreplay, and this night it was really hot and heavy. She was really seductively trying to get me to say I needed to be inside her, and we were on that line of fooling around for a while in a way we were both really into. At one point I’m on my back and she’s teasing me while straddling me, and I finally give in and tell her I need her. What does she do? Gives me the most Samuel Jackson ass expression she can muster and a “shit negro, that’s all you had to say!” I almost died laughing

          Good story.

          If you’re not capable of having a good laugh in a sex session, you’re doing it wrong. If the situation in the OP happened to me, I’d have cracked up, and probably fallen a little bit more in love.

      I can’t understand how people take sex so seriously, it’s a silly act, it’s like horseplay or dancing, you need to relax and have fun.

      It’s wild to me seeing so many youtube chuds and reddit posts talking about sex like it’s the most challenging game and the hardest level to beat in a video game. Fuck, even if it was a hard level in a video game it would be more enjoyable.

      I don’t get how you can enjoy it if you can’t laugh with your partner or if you’re always thinking about your image or worried about your belly fat or your hair or your “frame” or “SMV” and all this other INSANE bullshit young people are self-flagellating with.

      No wonder our population is crashing, we’ve let horny 14-year-olds who never had sex dictate the tone and attitude towards our most important act as a species.

        I think the problem is less horny 14yos and more the fact that they listen to scum like Andrew Tate or the Paul brothers growing up. I see so many teenagers who live a life where the only voice in their life that speaks positively of/to them is the chud on social media trying to groom them into an angry incel. Let’s be better than blaming children for the fact that we as a society have given up the act of raising kids in favor of generating more shareholder value. It’s not the kids’ fault that both of their parents probably work 50+ hour weeks to survive and youtube is the only parent in the house most of the time
