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.

Song Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful
Oh, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you’ve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Sex is like pizza.... never had a bad slice...
It’s been so long I forget who gets on top.
Wrong. It’s all good. Some of it’s better.
Devaluing its seriousness makes it less valuable and therefore less enjoyable? Who would have thought?
I saw a YouTube video about The Villages. It pretty much said the same thing and that the STD rates are off the charts. Those old folks are gettin' freaky.
I’m not having bad sex. Count me as not part of “everyone”.
Gas stoves, too.
They saw a video and that is complete and absolute truth.
They are the same people who will solemnly assure you that breakfast was never eaten before the twentieth century.
Please ignore all the mentions of breakfasts in newspaper articles and books written before then. Nobody ate breakfast.
My sister worked there as a nurse. She said she was really creeped out by the rampant sexual activity. But she did say there is quite a lot of STDs there.
Great song!
My guess is that they are too worried about the wrong things:
— Climate change
— Pronouns
— Social Justice
— #Me Too
I don’t think either social media or porn is helping either. Dating apps have a lot of girls chasing a few alpha males. I’ve overheard guys in their 20s talking about ED drugs.
I’m really glad I came of age in the 70s and 80s.
Wht? Because they awesome, and they are entitled to have the most awesome of every experience they ever have.
They are too effin special to have to experience the mundane, the average, the normal, the humdrum.
Any part of their lives which verges on those is cause for radical self-examination, and of course, over-wrought "look-at-me" blatherings.
God, I hate millenials.
It’s been so long I just forgot...and gave up.
She’s just playing hard to get.
Patience. She’s worth it. 👍
May I opine that the problem is that they search around for sex with different “partners” looking for sexual gratification, rather than getting into a committed marriage and developing a loving relationship in which sex is a “joining together as one”?
They might find more fulfillment and joy should they follow God’s instructions on marriage.
If a person is looking for sex just for the physical gratification from that act of sex then they are not going to be happy the following day. Nothing will be enough because they will not be fulfilled and happy in the manner God intended.
As a professional sex writer whose latest research is on maximizing pleasure …Yes; poor Maria has some big problems in her life. Not least of which are her pronouns (“she/they”) . . .
It all stemmed from a doctor who ended up losing her license. She falsely reported a bunch of garbage and the media gleefully ran with it. It turned into people everywhere, including FR repeating it ad-nauseum.
Let me repeat that for the hard of reading.
THIS ALL STEMMED FROM A FALSE REPORT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO MAKE THE VILLAGES LOOK BAD. THERE IS NO TRUTH IN IT.
The villages is very very red and the left loves to smear crap on us and hear people gleefully report how many STDs are here.
