According to the Atlantic, where I go for all my erotic 411, millennials lost the sexual revolution and they didn’t even fight in it. Why Are Young People Having So Little Sex?, it asks in its latest cover story. Sheesh, just look at them.
I guess what they desperately need is some advice from a retired Army guy in his 50s, because this retired Army guy in his 50s has demonstrated that he gets it done while those goofs half his age are swiping left toward eterna-celibacy.
Now, the fact that millennials are failing to reproduce would superficially seem like a good thing, but it is probably a bad thing for society when the younger generation is more interested in Instagram and Fortnite and endless adolescence than in doing the hard work of making babies and, you know, perpetuating the species.
Probably.
Wait, is this a political column? Is this topic political? Oh yeah. There’s a huge political component. Dems are always talking about demographics, but we Normals can take the initiative by doing what comes naturally while the future liberal elites are still trying to figure out each other’s pronouns. The Democrat Party is giving up on reproduction – it doesn’t help that they seem to be suspicious that anyone who actually carries a baby to term is sufficiently liberal. That’s why they want to import caravans of foreigners, to replace their dwindling voter base.
But why is it dwindling? Aren’t liberals supposed to be sexy and liberated? Well, it’s been a while since I dated one, but no. They are whiny, not sexy. They are the Ben Sasse of sexiness.
There are a lot of other causes for the millennial sex drought besides that last, terrifying image. Romance used to be fun and now it is fraught. Look at the sexual fascism sweeping the schools and workplaces where millennials dwell in which normal male/female interaction is labeled “sexual harassment” by the aspiring erotic Carrie Nations of the Progressive Junior Anti-Sex League who compete to turn even the most innocent flirtation into a hate crime.
Get this, from the Atlantic piece: “According to a November 2017 Economist/YouGov poll, 17 percent of Americans ages 18 to 29 now believe that a man inviting a woman out for a drink ‘always’ or ‘usually’ constitutes sexual harassment.” Well, that’s 17% of the population that self-selects out as too stupid to ever be loved.
There is also the issue of political selection. It turns out leftists’ big question in sizing up a potential mate is, “Does this person like the bad orange man?” A “no” to that question screens out the potent/fertile folks. Conservatives’ big question is, “Is this person an idiot?” Sadly, that kind of high bar is going to do a lot of disqualifying too.
And then there is the curse of screens. Technology is the root of all evil and most loneliness. Look, if you are staring at your iPhone all the time and texting people who are literally sitting at the restaurant table with you (Well, congratulations for at least leaving your mom’s basement – that’s something) then you are never going to graduate to the more advanced modes of interpersonal interaction.
Technology also means pornography, the seedy foundation of the internet. Onanism runs rampant among the young, apparently because it’s a lot more convenient than actually having human relationships. It’s not exactly conducive to reproduction.
Now, we all have friends who met their significant others on the dating sites, but the statistics are daunting. Unless you are a god or goddess, or whatever a gender-unspecified deity is called, then your chances of a match are ridiculously slim. Guys have to send out 100 whatever-you-call-thems – messages or swipes or whatever – to get one response. In contrast, women get bombarded with selfies, and not the nice kind.
It seems that, along the way, no one taught a lot of younger men that the way to a woman’s heart is not through a photo of your little friend. What the hell are people thinking?
So, let me offer some suggestions to you that might assist you in breaking the insidious cycle of celibacy.
Put away your stupid iPhones and computers. Yes, I know I'm on Twitter all the time and I'm writing all the time on my computer, but I have a freaking wife, and she's not made of electrons. She's Cuban, so she's made of fire and viciousness.
Just get off the electronics. Talk to people. Try it. Yes, if you say “Hi, my name is Kaden. Would you like a drink?” at least 17% of the recipients of this polite inquiry will blow their rape whistles and preemptively wet themselves. But this gives you important information – that person is an idiot. Go talk to the next one.
And go to friends’ weddings, if they beat the odds. You have to try not to meet someone at a wedding.
But do something. You owe it to conservatism, if not the species itself, to marry and reproduce. If you stay in mom’s basement dating Pornhub, how will you ever mate and bear the strong young children we need to grow up and bear arms to carry on the fight against evil foreigners and domestic lunatics who want to nuke us into submission to leftist tyranny?
Normal people, who I write about in my new book Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracy, seem to be doing OK. They breed. In fact, if current trends continue, only Normal people will be left in a couple of generations.
Hmmmmmm.
Okay, I'll take back everything I said before. Liberal millennials, don't change a thing.
Now my kids are better than most, they all got good educations and good jobs and all left the nest in their early 20s and are financially self-sufficient. So I can be thankful for that. But it seems that getting married and having children is not a priority with the younger generations. They are all content to eat out every night, Ubering here and Ubering there, seeing concerts, shows and whatnot. Having children would tie them down and that's exactly how they put it.
Soy products. Soy contains phytoestrogens. Soy is in everything. We start our babies on formulas made from soy milk and it never stops. That exposure causes men to be soft, low testosterone, low sperm count ‘soy’ boys. In girls it causes them to develop secondary sex characteristics at an earlier age and I believe contributes to breast and ovarian cancer. Is it a conspiracy? No I think it just economics. Soy protein and oils are cheaper than egg, dairy or meat based protein or Olive oil, walnut oils etc.
In their 20’s, they’re still young. They have time. :-)
I’m okay with it. As long as we have strong borders and maintain our sovereign government.
Cause as often as people whine about needing to import cheap labor, they are fretting about not having enough jobs in the AI era.
I think we could well, though with some adjustments, kick out the $30M and have a less crowded country altogether for the next 50 years.
I agree with you. I think millennials are polarized (forget politics) in just about every way. Us Gen X-er's had more people doing things kinda middle way and less on the extremes than millennials do. With sex, I see more millennials abstaining, while also more being very risqué, and less kinda fooling around once in a blue moon but not making it they're everything in life (like a lot of Gen X'ers did).
I see that in just about everything else in millennials from health (millennials are almost all either full bore organic skinny freaks or higher obesity than Gen X'ers were), to money (either dirt poor over bad money habits and lack of work ethic, or having it all together while they save to buy their house outright with zero debt), to spiritual lives (more hard core Christians or outright atheists than a lot riding the fence like gen X'ers), to drugs (at lot less millennials just smoking a joint every once in a blue moon, they're either completely avoiding drugs or they're on hard meth or heroin).
What he’s also leaving out (because this is a family-friendly post, I suppose) is that this generation seems to think that PIV sex is Old School, and now one is more likely to spend the majority of the encounter either with their face buried somewhere it might be better off not going, or with their penis (if either or both partners have one) being used in such a fashion that they are both facing the same way. I suppose variety is the spice of life, but millennials seem more interested in the spice than in the meat it should go on.
While it seems way off base, John B. Calhoun’s work with rodent populations predicts this. If he is right, our populaton will be reduced by about 95% over the next 150 years.
Zero Population Growth has been fiendishly successful it seems.
E.O.P.
One of my favorite parts of that movie!
Going to have to try and stream it tonight!
I have to confess I’m utterly confounded by the notion there’s anything arousing or erotic about a woman earnestly trying to suppress her gag reflex.
Funny or sad.
I can’t decide.
L
I love this guy. He is so funny.
I see whut you did there.
Some hope for you. Simon Cowell’s mom lived to 89, and her son said he would probably never marry and definitely did not want kids. Ok, he kind of took a weird route, but she did get to see him become a loving father, and his son is the light of his life. He was over 50 when it happened.
Women that kill support killing babies are just a carcass of a human being. They’ve given up their own humanity in the process.
Thats correct in parts of society. Nothing says "Wife material" like a tatted, pink haired sloot.
