Why Everyone Is Having Bad Sex (Especially Young People)

Despite all the social developments that have made sex easier (the sexual revolution, dating apps, yassified contraceptives), we still haven’t moved the dial on better. Bad sex has endured. And when I say “bad sex,” I am referring to sex that is quite simply unpleasurable, unsatisfying, or even demoralizing. While older generations are up against many of the same barriers to sexual wellbeing (like purity culture and the enduring impact of inadequate sex education), young people have been uniquely inundated with toxic messaging surrounding sex that has actually disrupted our abilities to feel pleasure. Resource-sharing on platforms like TikTok and Instagram may have positioned young people to better parse their sexualities, but not necessarily closer to building affirming and pleasurable sex lives.

I found this part particularly amusing:

"As a professional sex writer whose latest research is on maximizing pleasure, communicating with partners, and exploring sexual autonomy, I, too, grapple with the disconnect between the sex I know I could have and the sex I actually have. I now know I am not alone in enduring medium, bad, to very bad sex again and again, even though I know better; even though I own good vibrators..."

The libs. They can't see what the problem is. It's not just Biden's policies that are failing.

Maybe young folks need to visit The Villages in Florida to learn a few things. I hear it’s pretty wild and old folks are really enjoying themselves.

Batteries. The problem is batteries. Rare earth elements.

And self-imposed lobotomies.

Cell phone porn overtook Night moves in a sleeping bag at the local golf course after dark. Having good manners and not being a gossip about your exploits makes a world of difference too.

Purity culture makes sex better. Married women have the best sexual happiness reporting.

Acting like apes is not sexy. Sex is bonding esp for women but for men too. We are not mere animals. Pretending otherwise does not make it so.

The 9V ones shpuld do the trick.

I’m serious. STDs are through the roof there - way out of proportion to most places.

My problem is that Jennifer Aniston is not answering my passionate letters to her. Instead I get threatening letters from her lawyer. Oh, well. As the old saying goes, it is what it is. But somehow that just doesn’t seem right.

Gif....

Dianne Feinstein didn’t realize she was being recorded. Is that fair?

[Paladin2]

Yep,

Speak for yourself [and only yourself] Maria....

Holy crap, this stupid rumor promoted by a lefty refuses to die. It started out as a Rolling stone article trying to make The deeply red Villages look bad.

If you look at ACTUAL data, the Villages has vastly lower than average STDs.

I have lived in The Villages for 2 years, I've been coming here for 10. There is no more or less sex happening here than anywhere else. Less probably.
