Sex is bad

[Thor]

Just imagine what will happen when we have cyborg lifelike people that we can have sex with. Look at how little people under 30 are having sex already in Japan, Korea, etc..

Maybe we need to find an airborne spray that gets people horny, spread it via chemtrails on planes and we're all good.

^^^ that will suck. And not in the good way.

I thought people were getting laid more often because of dating apps. I seem to recall a news article implying a rise on STDS because how easy it is to hookup online. I'm an old married man, so I don't know what the kids are up to these days. My divorced friends complain, but they always seem to have a new partner every couple months.

Thats what condoms are for? STD wise, whats the difference if you meet someone and sleep with them that day or meet someone and sleep with them after the 3rd date? Unless you both get tested you won't know if the other person has an std or not regardless of how long you wait to have sex.

Its easier to meet people but that doesn't necessarily mean those people are more willing to sleep with you right away. I think thats the biggest misconception about the Tinder's of the world.

Prostitution is illegal because of the fear of exploitation of women. In country's where the sex trade is legalized human smuggling increases. Now the current criminalization also leads to these things as well. So from a harm reduction standpoint the best path forward is unclear with current data.

The government recently liberalized the prostitution laws as a result of Supreme Court rulings on safe work environments.

In terms of societal morals I think in general we have become more liberal
LGBTQ relationships are more accepted
sodomy lead have been eliminated in most jurisdictions
Prostitution has been made less illegal
I would argue tha slut shaming has significantly decreased and people's number is not discussed anymore. (Though I am married so maybe it's still at thing$
- there are publicly discussed apps designed for hooking up that people use in the open while riding a train
- the internet isn't frowned upon as a place to find relationships

The only thing in the past 20 years that has changed more conservatively was raising the age of consent to 16.

Yeah, this thread sort of has a feel to it like you weren't able to have sex with someone off of tinder for whatever reason and you're choked about it. Did someone not have the same opinion on sex as you? That's ok, you know.

Sex is a wonderful thing between three consenting adults.

But to be serious, I certainly don't feel the same thing as the op. If you want to see a truly suppressive environment where extra martial sex was viewed with a lot of suspicion and paranoia look at the late 80's at the height of the Aids scare where you practically had to be tested before you could have a casual relationship.

To me, society is much more permissive and understanding of the whole "Man its just sex thing"

That's IMO the root cause of what we see today. Otherwise it doesn't make sense on why we are so ashamed of sex.

I agree the church played a huge role in oppressing personal freedoms and generally inducing shame. Part of the reason that religion has totally lost relevance in the developed world.

That said, I think you're way out to lunch here. I don't get your "feel bad about sex" and "we are so ashamed of sex" angle. These days are the most liberal and open minded in history about sex and sex related topics.

Yeah, that's it .

I've been thinking about the subject for years and it interests me.

People like you are the reason why some don't like starting threads and I was expecting some dumb comment from someone like you. It's a subject that interests men and not because of personal rejection.

I have a couple friends who re-entered the dating scene recently after being out of the game for 15-20 years. They're astonished at how little effort it takes to find a willing sex partner today. Anyone who thinks we live in sexually repressed times didn't experience the 80s and early 90s, when having sex with someone on brief acquaintance was considered as wildly reckless as smoking crack.

I think it's because "sex outside of a relationship" doesn't really exist, on an emotional level.

It's so very basic to just say "we're animals, we have needs and desires, everyone do what they want!" -- but that's not really how we operate. Lots of people want to think sex is just a good time, but it's a lot more than that to humans. There's a lot of things to go on physically and emotionally in our bodies and minds when we engage in it, that doing it with a random can often end up just feeling wrong. And I don't think that's cultural or religious or anything -- it's just how we're designed, to make it have more meaning than slamming our genitals into each other to make a baby.

It's way easier to get casual partners when you're older. All the BS is gone. Christ I'm married, wear my ring, and girls still hit on me. And #### I think I look like a cave troll.

I had quite a few friends that had lots of flings in the 90s. Every single one got some disease or infection at least once. Whoo!

I don't know if agree with this are happiness and satisfaction emotions?

Cause those are emotions that can come from a casual fling, where its just errr for fun and cause it feels good.

Of course with the good comes that bad, and occasionally there's shame, embarrassment and terror when you realize that your fling is a potential spawn of satan who wants to sacrifice you.

Honestly, I find more girls hit on me when I am wearing my ring. It's like if they think you are single, there must be something wrong with you, but if you are married, then you must be a catch.

I also think part of it is the impossible ideal sex appeal image that pop culture has imposed on men and women. Not too many normal people can live up to it and a lot of people (men and women) think they are too good for regular looking people when they themselves are average at best.

Came for Salt N Pepa, left disappointed.

[Philly06Cup]

I suspect everyone saying that slut shaming doesn't happen and sex is not taboo are male. Society still conditions women to repress their sexuality.

I don't think its that. You are the unatainable, and if they get you its all hoowah.

On top of that there's a expectation that a married guy treats girls right, so they're schumping with a dude that's at least stable and not likely to either murder them, beat them up or rob a liquor store on the way to buy condoms.
