It is my belief that the decline in sexual interactions is very real and is a troubling forward indicator for society at large that people are engaging less and less in the types of physical interaction that lead to the types of relationship where sex would become a natural offshoot and instead becoming more and more anti-social.

I believe this anti social slant plays right in to the hands of Facebook and other Social Media companies who know how to target and exploit this growing cohort with engagement that fills the absence of person to person socialization with a goal to monetize these people with little regard for their well being short or long term.

I think this has been exasperated by Apps like Tinder and Bumble which have created, as i have said in the past, an All you Can Eat type buffet for the top ~30% of male profiles with any willing female partner while leaving the remaining 70% of males completely ignored. Meanwhile near 100% of women are getting easier access to sex if they desire it.

I think that as women gain more and more financial independence (a great thing) many more are opting out of relationships and sex that they do not think ideal and are far less compromising in that regard.

Lastly I think this could lead to dystopian type outcomes, especially as the type of online Worlds (Metaverse) are built out and people can get realistic feeling interactions thru avatars and i think FaceBooks big data is telling them exactly that. That people are retreating into ever more anti-social bubbles and the best way to reach them and engage with them is to draw them deep into the metaverse and provide for their needs there.

A scary thing for society, imo, that could destroy much of the social fabric over time exasperating these divisions and the real world polarization and conflicts.

More Faith, Less Sex: Why Are So Many Unmarried Young Adults Not Having Sex?

The pandemic disrupted American life in many ways, but one trend remained the same: rising sexlessness. A growing share of younger Americans are living without sex. The new 2021 General Social Survey can be used to track these trends over time. As Figure 1 below shows, since 2010, there has been a sharp rise in the share of males and females ages 18 to 35 who report not having sex in the prior year. This trend, which has been described in detail in prior IFS reports, continued in 2021....

Are you propositioning me?

I suspect you swipe left if I was.

Yeah I dont think covid is helpful there. Thats what Elon has to say to this. Thats why he made 10 children. Overpopulation?
That was a problem of yesterday, according to him. Btw, a dumb physics doctor and his dumb gf told me its a huge problem and we are so f about 5 years ago.

lol, I think he has 7 kids, with 3 different partners (5, 1 and 1) if i am remembering it correctly.

I don't think the planet is under populated or over populated but if your view comes from consumerism then from Elon's stand point the more people the better. The last thing big business wants is a contraction in the consumer market and spending. Shrinking populations create less demand, forcing suppliers to compete more, driving down prices and profit margins. It also makes managing gov't debt more critical. Thus why Trump was so dangerous. He was ballooning the deficits and debt by cutting Revenues and also trying to tip the US into population contraction by blocking almost all immigration while birth rates could not sustain the population.

A sure fire path to future bankruptcy. One of the few things we can say Trump was a true expert at.

You are right. Its 7, my bad..

Not having sex AND not looking at porn ?

Human experiment over. GG

Zuck and the Metaverse are coming to the rescue of the young incels.


VR sex for all!

And do people find it odd that Zuck's avatar arguably looks more life like than he does?

A cool technology on its face. So many incredible useful applications.

But also may be key to the metaverse nightmare scenarios being discussed???

I don't know about unmarried young adults, but I think I could offer a reasonable theory as to why Zuck's wife doesn't have much sex.

Modern countries aren’t having enough kids to repopulate. It’s a major problem.

Why is it a major problem?

The death of populations in most of the developed world.

Nothing burger shouldn't even be an option. Any fundamental change in sexual behavior will have profound impacts because it's not likely to be randomly distributed and population dynamics are a major meta control on big picture social outcomes like war, peace, and economy.

My best guess is porn. If you're a 40 something like me you probably remember as a kid when every other movie would have a sex scene with the woman going cowgirl and you could see how a crease in the sheets traced her ass crack and your heart rate would shoot up and the blood would start flowing. Now they don't even bother putting sex scenes in movies, I think because no one finds it stimulating I think because of the widespread availability of porn.

It's a weird situation in that you could ask younger people why they don't **** and no one would trust the answers. It could be a biologically disrupting compound newly introduced into our bodies. It could be increased alienation and depression stemming from our economic modality. And I wouldn't totally dismiss the rightwing theory that a mass emasculation is behind it. The number one predictor of divorce is the event of a woman overtaking her husband in salary. Men seem on the decline in terms of status relative to women and that could have an effect on horniness of one or both sexes.

I would say it is a good thing since the world population will taper off and possibly even decrease. Too many people on the planet will destroy it.

I think there are many reasons for this change. The world becoming more virtual, easily accessible porn, growing number of people with ambiguous gendered appearance. People becoming increasingly less mobile and unhealthy results in lower libido. Maybe even the fact that a lot of companies basically disregard people with familial obligations. Cheating is less taboo than it used to be which makes people less willing to take the chance of getting in a relationship and therefore less likely to have sex. There is a strong cultural shift to being independent as well rather than automatically settling down and starting a family.

A lot of those things seem negative, but there are positive things that can come out of it. Perhaps we will see less children being born into broken homes where the parents don't care about them.

yeah, I was asking why it's a major problem.

Lol ooook

In not too many years we'll only have uneducated Africans, Indians, and South Americans left and the first world will die off. How are those countries currently doing as far as the welfare of their people is concerned? Imagine they were the only ones left

Are you a lover of death

If you are wanting to engage that discussion are you willing to discuss the role of the so called sophisticated first world nations in those "shithole" countries and what 'smart people' do when they have levels of control?

Every thread here eventually winds up being about the Great Replacement.
