No Sex, Please, We're Gen Z
Plus: Daily Disney Disaster
I know some of y'all hate the Disney updates so I'm smuggling it in under a sex story. Sex sells, I've heard.
A new story claims that Gen Z doesn't want any sex or romance in movies. What they want, supposedly, is more stories about platonic relationships. I mean, yes, we'd like to see young people not having casual sex like animals but it is probably not a good thing when a generation loses a normal healthy interest in sex altogether.A male 20 year old feels "awkward" when he sees sex or mere romance in a movie? I've felt that way when I saw the nude bath scene in Death Race 2000 when my dad was in the room, but assuming my parents aren't around, I've generally been able to handle it since at least my early to mid tweens. The surveyors claim that kids lost opportunities for friendships during the covid lockdowns and now want to see those on screen. Okay, but didn't they also lose opportunities for romance? I don't know how to evaluate this poll because, while "over 50%" seems like a big, meaningful number, they don't provide the comparative to previous generations. Yes, one would assume that prior generations were not this sex-averse and pro-asexuality, but that's only an assumption without an actual number.
A new study about young Americans' entertainment consumption habits shows that Generation Z is far more interested in seeing stories of platonic relationships on screen than those featuring sex and romance. More than half of the 1,500 young people who participated in the University of California Los Angeles's (UCLA) Center for Scholars and Storytellers "Teens and Screens" survey said they want to see more content focused on friendships. Nearly 40% said they particularly want to see more non-romantic relationships or asexual characters on screen. The majority of respondents said they felt that romance in media is overused. (The study in its entirety included youth aged 10-24, but questions relating specifically to sex and romance on screen were only asked of a subset aged 13-24.) The research team is labeling this trend as "nomance." "When there's media with too much sex, me and my friends often feel uncomfortable," said survey respondent Ana, age 16, in a video released by UCLA to accompany the study.
"My friends are I maybe awkwardly bear through it," said 20-year-old respondent Joseph.
I find this alarming because of what's happened in Japan -- entire generations can in fact lose interest in dating, mating, and procreating, resulting in a slouch towards civilizational oblivion.
"My passion is to bridge the work of researchers and entertainment executives in order to help storytellers access useful science that can help them create impactful content and affect social change. This is why I founded the Center for Scholars & Storytellers at UCLA."Social change. Got it. In Disney Disaster news, another group holding a lot of Disney stock is calling for a negotiated settlement with the Peltz group: they want Disney to avoid a proxy fight by giving Peltz a seat on the board which would protect shareholder interests.
Yet another group, Ancora Holdings Group, LLC, is joining the proxy fray. The group, which invests in the Walt Disney Company, has sent a letter to shareholders urging them to put another investor on the Disney Board, specifically Nelson Peltz or someone from Trian. The letter indicates that due to the "extended period of absentminded governance, ineffective succession planning, polarizing actions and sustained value destruction" the Company has underperformed and caused Disney shareholders "meaningful losses" as the Company underperformed. They urge shareholders to pressure the board to find a "viable compromise with Trian Fund Management, L.P. and Nelson Peltz." Ancora also mentioned that the company has gotten into politically driven situations that have created "division" instead of "delight" among its customer base. It is argued that having a "sizable owner in the boardroom" would "bring the market's perspective and serve as one of many voices that would only benefit shareholders."In case you don't know what a proxy fight is: Everyone who owns voting stock in a company has a vote in the company's affairs. Votes occur at company shareholder meetings. Most shareholders cannot be physically present at these meetings, but you are allowed to give your vote by proxy to someone else -- hence, your proxy vote. A proxy fight occurs when a faction conducts what is very much like a political campaign soliciting shareholders' proxy votes, so he can take those votes to the shareholder meeting and use them to press for the changes he wants. Disney has a board of directors which is supposed to oversee the actions of its actual executives, like CEO Bob Iger. But all of the members of the board are hand-picked by Bob Iger and are seen as his woke cronies. They have all rubber-stamped his every action as he as greenlighted one woke initiative after another, and Disney has lost over $70 billion in value. So what Peltz wants to do is place someone sympathetic to the shareholders on the board -- himself or his son, or maybe both, and maybe former Marvel owner Ike Perlmutter -- who will actually fight Bob Iger's woke agenda and even fire him if he refuses back off its war on traditionalist America.
Via ClownfishTV. You may have heard that a report dropped last week accusing the Iger-installed board of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the Disney-controlled board that oversees a big chunk of Florida, of corruption.
There might be a criminal investigation of Disney's practices -- which would implicate Bob Iger, of course.
The district overseeing the land where Disney's theme parks sit is releasing a report Wednesday that accuses Disney of providing benefits "akin to bribes" to employees of the district. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District hired outside experts to examine the Reedy Creek Improvement District's past practices. It repeatedly targets Reedy Creek's practice of buying annual Disney passes for its employees and retirees, a popular perk that would be worth thousands of dollars. "For years, the company treated district employees like Disney employees by, for instance, providing complimentary annual passes and steep discounts--benefits and perks that were akin to bribes," the report says. The three experts hired by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board to look into the practices of the former Reedy Creek Improvement District presented their findings at a meeting Wednesday. They claim Reedy Creek passed measures that only benefited Disney -- after receiving a number of benefits. "Disney controlled the old Reedy Creek Board," Chair Martin Garcia said. "The audit documents the clever, creative, and even inappropriate tactics that were used over the decades to yes, outmaneuver and co-opt politicians," Garcia said. Along with receiving Disney annual passes, the findings also show hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on parties for personnel, events, and entertainment. They say Disney even covered some property taxes for government officials. "The audit shows that Disney even paid real estate taxes for some of the government officials who were charged with regulating business practices," Garcia said.

Our country is so hyper-focused on sex that we screwed up an entire generation.
MARRIAGE is the best way to a good sex life.
We don't teach children this truth.
And then we allow them to get addicted to virtual interactions (both sexual and non) and are shocked when they act like monks in real life.

I'm coming around to the opinion that there must be a chemical component to this, specifically some sort of plasticizer or other compound that's subverting what is for most young men the strongest urge they'll ever encounter. That, and modern society has so many distractions that people are unable to focus long enough to actually put in the work necessary for responsible reproduction.

What they want, supposedly, is more stories about platonic relationships.
Why do you need a movie about that? That's called "everyday life".
The sexy librarian? That's a movie. That doesn't happen often.

I don't think it really that they are sexless, but that Hollyweird has gone overboard with romance and sex.
Hell, even Doctor Who turned into a Romance... and that is sooooo anti Cannon its pathetic.

It wasn't absentminded, it was merely ineffective - at least as far as succession. Iger wants a successor that will still do what Iger wants, not a free agent. He chewed up and spit out multiple likely successors until he settled on Chapek - but then he had Chapek removed when he turned out not to be a toady.
This part of it, at least, is entirely on Iger's shoulders.

I'm coming around to the opinion that there must be a chemical component to this, specifically some sort of plasticizer or other compound that's subverting what is for most young men the strongest urge they'll ever encounter. That, and modern society has so many distractions that people are unable to focus long enough to actually put in the work necessary for responsible reproduction.

Yup. Agreed. Low testosterone levels in every modern country, even accounting for age and David French.
I've seen it's leaching from plastics. Or estrogen leaked into the water from birth control.
Could also be the huge decrease in tobacco use.
I can't see it being natural as abundance usually leads to booms.
Very sci-fi dystopia weird ....

If you screw up sex with a bunch of designer sexual identities, then of course people will want to see less sex and romance on screen because (1) these unwholesome weirdos can't see themselves outside their increasingly bizarre and niche conceptions of sex; and (2) there's not really much market for these designer sexual identities on the big screen because the rest of us, also known as normal people, are not interested in see that shit.

As I vaguely recall from biology courses eons ago, some, perhaps many, animals have built in defenses against over population.
They simply make reproduction more difficult over time or their instinctual urge to breed is reduced. Maybe humans do as well.

While all of these protest were going on, I decided to see what was happening at my undergrad university (which will remain nameless).
Seems that a woman wearing a Burka was yelled at and a paper with some nasty writing was thrown at her. After, a few days, she admitted she made it all up.
The demand for hate crimes most definitely outstrips the supply.

2) To get laid.

Young boys have changed because "one will say yes, its only a matter of time" has changed. That behavior gets you kicked out of school now. Fired. Maybe in jail. Certainly in court.

I wonder how much of this is backlash to cookie cutter Hollywood relationships in movies. If the only reason for the guy main character and the girl main character to have a relationship is:
1. They're both attractive
2. They're in proximity
Then I'd rather the writers just not do it at all. So maybe if they're friends, the writers will be forced to write some slightly different schlock, and it might at least be slightly fresher schlock.

The survey itself is suspect, but it may just be not wanting to see what modern film puts up as 'romance'. Generally speaking most of the relationships shown on screen have so little chemistry and little relation to actual human behavior and are so cringe inducing that I'd probably take a pass on them even being part of the plot too.

Going up I loved Marvel comics and was thrilled that they finally made their way to the big screen. And once they kicked into gear with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was must see in the theater experience for me. At least through phases 1-3. As it ends up, I only went to 3 of the 7 movies in phase 4 and I haven't seen any of the tv shows on D+.
Looking at what lays ahead, I'm only interested in Deadpool 3 and Blade (if it gets made). And I will probably wait for the reviews on Blade before going due to all the bad news currently coming out of that production.
As it is, I have no faith that there is anyone at Disney that knows how to repair the damage to their ship now that they have hit the iceberg of intersectionality.

The Auditor found out that the Reedy Creek Power Station are all employees of DIsney not the District and to make matters worse the Employees refused to let the Auditor enter the Power Stations (2 of them) and The Auditor found that the Power Station isn’t really a Power Station but just a very large Air Conditioning for the Theme Parks and WDW gets all or most of it’s Power from Outside.

Don't even, I've seen so many long-term marriages with guys who spend every day at the bar because their wives will not fuck them. Man, they get crabby.
This is a dumb post.
It has nothing to do with Disney, it's a fact. Maybe Gen Z is all virtual but nobody say that no-fucking thing doesn't happen in real life marriages, as it completely and totally does.
To say otherwise is a lie.
I'm generally okay with bending facts for counter-propaganda but the fact of the matter is, Lefties have more sex. It's a major attraction for males.

Yup. Agreed. Low testosterone levels in every modern country, even accounting for age and David French.
I've seen it's leaching from plastics. Or estrogen leaked into the water from birth control.
Could also be the huge decrease in tobacco use.

But see, that is the ... degeneration of the social skills or consciousness among the fair sex as well. This was always a two way street. The dude wants to get laid. The gal wants to get laid, but she also wants (usually) a more permanent arrangement. This is good because it causes the dude to chase and alter his behavior.
Nowadays, if the kids are having sex, it is like... sexual nomads. They throw up their tent at a watering hole (a member of the opposite sex) then when things go bad, they move on to try to find the next good spot.

I'm coming around to the opinion that there must be a chemical component to this, specifically some sort of plasticizer or other compound that's subverting what is for most young men the strongest urge they'll ever encounter. That, and modern society has so many distractions that people are unable to focus long enough to actually put in the work necessary for responsible reproduction.

Quantifying the decrease in testosterone:
In 1999-2000, the average was still close to 600 nanograms per deciliter. In 2015-2016 this was only 400 nanograms per deciliter.
This equates to a decrease of about thirty percent.

Ours will look different and possibly have a different cause, but I think it's entirely possible that lots of young people (especially men) have just given up on dating or marriage or even sex altogether.

I predicted this. I could write a book about Japan relationships but what is relevant here (and for the USA) is that once you have single child families, the child grows up not understanding or appreciating the value of family. They become egocentric and used to every relationship being "what's in it for me."
With two kids they get that they are part of a family but drop that to one kid and make that the norm, and the kids grow up not thinking about family, but about themselves. In the aggregate.
Japan went to two kids early on and that was OK. But lots of families had one kid and those are lost. I think.

I'd like to see Procreation rates broken down by urban vs rural. I'm thinking there is an instinctual thing that happens when you have too many people in one place, AND have birth control and can choose if you have children or not.

Seem to recall something talking about ancient rome during Augustus' day that he found that birth rates were dropping. People were having flings and cheating on their spouses at a high rate, but children were not the goal.
All to say, there might be something to what you say, but that would not necessarily be a function of population density but rather... comfort?

You have a hard time seeing protagonists even kissing in movies anymore, let alone getting naked and having sexy time. The only genre where that happens anymore is horror and there are decades of associating sexuality with death there. Only the virgins survive a horror movie, etc.

Been watching some Korean and Japanese shows lately. If nothing else they always at least one super-cute chick in them, if you are into that sort of thing...
Anyway, nothing quite like their 'sex scenes', awkward glances, accidental brush with hand... sooooo tense (kidding).
Actually its a bit better than the common US gratuitous sex scenes that really don't seem to add jack to the show. Just sort of thrown in there so the Producer Harvey can make his new toy get near naked in front of a bunch of strangers. Maybe make her kiss another chick, but at least she's hot!

147 My wife and I watched a series in which one of the characters courted...and was courted...by his love interest. It wasn't a drunken hook-up or a "friends-with-privileges" thing.
And it was really nice, and a welcome change!

It isn't quite that bad, but it's close.
If you're in the top 15%, you can more or less get what you want.
Elsewhere in the top third, you can at least get laid.
Elsewhere in the top half, it's lower odds but possible.
Bottom half, though, well, good luck. Or just say, "fuck it" and buy an X-Box.

I think I know what this is referring to.
But the problem with fandoms is that companies keep hiring people who hate the fans and what the fans love.
"I love [property x] because of what I could do with it by taking it in a new direction," doesn't instill confidence in people who grew up on property x and love it for what it has been.

I predicted this. I could write a book about Japan relationships but what is relevant here (and for the USA) is that once you have single child families, the child grows up not understanding or appreciating the value of family. They become egocentric and used to every relationship being "what's in it for me."

In 1999-2000, the average was still close to 600 nanograms per deciliter. In 2015-2016 this was only 400 nanograms per deciliter.
This equates to a decrease of about thirty percent.
To add even more context to these numbers, 1999-2000 was not a high water mark of male testosterone. Testosterone numbers in men have been dropping at least since the 1960s.

It would be difficult to explain in a comment, but the buildings, cities, and roads are all designed to eliminate community.

It doesn't pan out that way. OKCupid (the former online dating site) and a couple of other outfits have studied it now that it's relatively easy to study thanks to digital images and the internet (in the former's case, it was to help market the product better).
Physically, anyway, they found that men rate about half of women as being average or above average - more or less what you would expect. Women only rated under 20% of men as being average or above average. Impossible, but the perception.

Or they just want to be a petri dish for VD and bang everything they can because they 'missed out being married so long.'

I'm of the opinion that a lower global pop is desirable. (Don't freak out, I'm not calling for genocide or mass involuntary sterilization) so fewer people doesn't really upset me. The problem is that smart people aren't reproducing, and lower IQ ones are. As a result, the overall pop is getting dumber, just when IQ is more important in maintaining a civilization than ever.

Sorta on topic, The Boy and the Heron was really good, I think. It's very much a fairy tale, though like all Miyazaki movies, there's no romance and there's a weird...thing with the young version of the protagonist's mother....
But still...it's good. A cut above the average anime. The male protagonist and his father are not passive, whiny beta males like in most anime and there's a story sense of duty and family ties. And...the kid's dad knocks up his dead mom's sister before they even got married so...that was suprising.

Fuck it - lets "engage". Married men - ten years or more. How many of you are satisfied, and how many are not and only stay because of a sense of duty ?
I think there are several problems the modern era has wrought.
1) Men have a higher sex drive then women. So, for both to be happy in marriage they will both have to compromise but modern feminism says you should never have sex with your partner if you explicitly don't want to.
2) For women working in an office kills their sex drive.
3) Women don't want to have sex with men they don't see as high status and women compare their available male partners to the highest status men they see on social media
4) Men no longer know how to "warm" women up.

In other Disney news:
A judge on Friday certified a class action lawsuit that alleges that Disney paid 9,000 women less than their male counterparts.
The suit is the largest ever certified under California’s Equal Pay Act, which makes it illegal for workers to be paid less for substantially similar work based on their gender.

That's an interesting observation. I'm curious when you find the oversaturation of romance movies to have happened. I'm not into romance movies, but it seems to me they've pretty much always been around.

Really been the last 10 years, and the plethora of movies they have put out.
Now, 2 or more Channels on Cable DEDICATED to Romance movies.
But going by Women I've dated, and my 2 Sisters (all past 50) Romance movies seem to be a staple of their viewing habits. They are never going to make it big in the theatre, because Women often watch them alone... and you VERY seldom see a Woman at a Movie Theatre by herself.
But their are a yuge number of these movies being made...

South Korea is a dystopia. People live in these apartments which are unlike anything I have seen anywhere else. They are like pods. You can live in SK and never interact with anyone in person outside your job. No one. It is like out of the Matrix. It would be difficult to explain in a comment, but the buildings, cities, and roads are all designed to eliminate community.

I firmly believe that the wider Oriental approach to urbanization is a factor (and probably a significant one) in the birth rate collapse in most of East Asia. They urbanized extremely quickly and with very little per-capita square footage coupled with very high prices. Another part is that some places are also atomizing with their construction - density is high but community is low (what you described). And they did it all within a generation.
The way they did it worked okay for the economics, but less so for the human condition.

166 But the problem with fandoms is that companies keep hiring people who hate the fans and what the fans love.
"I love [property x] because of what I could do with it by taking it in a new direction," doesn't instill confidence in people who grew up on property x and love it for what it has been.

I wouldn't say that shippers love a property. They just love saying "What if [character x] was fucking [character y]?"
Or more likely "character y" and "character y2", because they've been conditioned that "Het is Ew".

A new study about young Americans' entertainment consumption habits shows that Generation Z is far more interested in seeing stories of platonic relationships on screen than those featuring sex and romance.
--
Don't misunderstand this. They are cutting out STRAIGHT sex/romance scenes.
You're lucky if there's a man and woman interacting and shown getting coffee or something.
But gay scenes and romance? Those are full steam ahead and forced into the stories whether they make the first bit of sense or not.
It's normalization of one over the other.

Their birthrate is not 0.78

I watched Birds Of Prey this past weekend? Why? Because I wanted to see if it's as bad as they say.
It's as bad as they say.
There's a "platonic" relationship between Obi Wan McGregor, and his top henchman, and it's the gayest thing I've ever seen. And I've had Liberace in my closet.
So don't tell me Genzees don't want sex in movies. They just aren't being allowed to have it. So that's why they spend all day on pronhub. Because Hollowood won't give them what they want.
It doesn't give anyone what they want.

Yeah, porn also screws up the guy's view of what women are attractive and also... how they will act
It's interesting that this observation is always made about men and. never about women, as if they aren't consuming porn and internalizing its values.
Purely an anecdote and a dated one at that, but when I was doing the online dating thing 25 years ago or so, I found that what most the women I matched with wanted was dinner and fuck, and behaved indistinguishably from chicks in porn with respect to the latter. And that's not at all what I was looking for either (I was a late bloomer and interested in an actual relationship). But no matter how civilized they were online, they were mostly slatterns after dinner. It was fairly depressing. I can't even imagine what a nightmare it must be after a quarter century more of this cultural slide.
Long story short, I think these chicks were not strangers to porn.

There's another interpretation of the "no sex please" Gen Z: Maybe after 50 years of sex of all kinds being pushed in our faces on a daily basis, a generation has appeared who want to recover the idea of keeping private things private and not scheduling a parade every time one of them has a boner.

80% of guys only want 5% of the women. It does seem to be a problem both ways...
--
This is wildly, incredibly, amazingly wrong.
As has been noted here repeatedly, women are 0 or 1. If a 1 pays even the slightest bit of attention, gives verbal and physical cues, laughs, touches arms, shows cleavage, makes suggestions, flirts, etc., 80%+ of available men (and more than a few married men) will chase that until it develops into what is promised.

The way they did it worked okay for the economics, but less so for the human condition.
I've been predicting exactly that since I first started hearing about Japanese males in the 70s. You know, they work 16 hours a day, ride the subway 4 hours a day, each way, and go out drinking with the boss after work for 6 hours a day. (my math may be a bit off.)
You'll be a world beater for a generation or two, but it's not sustainable.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!)
US urban used to mean young professionals (who moved to burbs to start family) and minorities who had lots of kids anyway, or the very rich.
Japan urbanization meant a small city at each train stop. Even in most of Tokyo, there is community and single family homes and not so bad.
Korea has apartment blocks for pod people. I think China is following that approach too.

It's the story you're describing to a T. The bored and long-suffering (perceived if not real) middle-aged woman dumps her husband, travels to "find herself" and hooks up with a hunky secret millionaire - as is right and proper and as she deserved and she made great choices.

Hey I have an idea....lets just leave sex out of the movies.
And as for married vs single, yeah as a single guy sex was different than it was after we got married primarily because modesty and respect is involved.

Fuck it - lets "engage". Married men - ten years or more. How many of you are satisfied, and how many are not and only stay because of a sense of duty ?

If they made movies that were realistic enough for one to suspend disbelief. You can only shoot so many people. You can only have so much sex. Directors/writers seem unable to weave a tale, make a narrative in a natural compelling way.

@237 Nova Local are you an old lady or a gay man? I've never read someones comments so out of touch with reality. Go to Instagram and look at the millions of women around the globe showing off their tits and pussies so guys of means can slide into their DM's and fund a rendezvous. It's a global dating market and Instagram leads even dating/hookup sites. These women aren't staying home reading fucking romance novels waiting for Prince Charming to ride up on a white horse.
Women watching Hallmark movies are 40+ overweight with diabeetus drinking box wine flicking their bean to softcore on Netflix and real of Whiskas Cat Food and kitty litter. Nobody wants to fuck them.

This is wildly, incredibly, amazingly wrong.
As has been noted here repeatedly, women are 0 or 1. If a 1 pays even the slightest bit of attention, gives verbal and physical cues, laughs, touches arms, shows cleavage, makes suggestions, flirts, etc., 80%+ of available men (and more than a few married men) will chase that until it develops into what is promised.
Posted by: Nikki Haley - No R candidates will discuss voter fraud because Trump said pussy at December 11, 2023 04:08 PM (6Y/Rl)
And will have no desire to ever marry or date. They will only do that for 5% of women. So, no, I'm not wrong.
Women have no need to have sex to have sex. It has to be more for the general average woman. So, if it's transactional, the women willing to engage in sex just for sex one night stands will be VERY picky b/c they can be - there are so few willing to engage that way on average that they are the minority in the 2 gender situation.
Like, I don't know any women who have done dating sites or sex sites. I only know ones who did EHarmony, which touted itself as the place to find someone marriable back in the day...

Reedy Creek was an insanely good deal for Disney. Literally worth extra millions of income per year.
Then Disney decided, at behest of their work employees, to get involved in Florida politics. Staggeringly stupid - millions on the line, now lost. On top of that, let's see here, jail. And further humiliation and embarrassment and cost.
And all they had to do was simply say no comment.
For this alone the board, and Iger, should be canned. Anyone that had any part of that decision needs to go.

SHE has already broken that vow. "To have and to hold" isn't some fancy magic spell.
If she refuses to do her wifely duties, then you have ZERO husbandly duties.
I will suggest consultation/therapy with a local pastor first, but if she still refuses to fulfill her duties, you are freed from yours.

If she refuses to do her wifely duties, then you have ZERO husbandly duties.
I will suggest consultation/therapy with a local pastor first, but if she still refuses to fulfill her duties, you are freed from yours.

And will have no desire to ever marry or date. They will only do that for 5% of women. So, no, I'm not wrong.

If a 1 provides attention, has a good sense of humor, doesn't try to stab him or herself repeatedly more than once or twice a year, and can hold down a job, the chance of maintaining a relationship and the potential for marriage (assuming that's what kids do these days) is pretty decent.
Although I suspect having divorced parents plays a big role, too, and that's a different part of the discussion.

Depending on the questions you asked, you could have gotten a similar response from me. For example, I HATE that friendship, especially male friendship, is constantly sexualized in media and assumed to be latent homosexuality. I'm also sick of the assumption that everyone is totally OK with casual sex and perversion. So if you asked me the right question, you could probably get me to say I'd rather see more friendship and less romance in media. Doesn't mean I don't want to jump my husband's bones when I get the chance.
That being said, these younguns are definitely fucked up. Covid had a lot to do with it. When you train children to exhibit high levels of disgust for other humans, this is what you get.

Maybe the woman in question had a horribly traumatic sexual incident inflicted on her in her childhood, and can't stand the sight of a male sex organ.

Good point… I think it is in the lots where the fattening/finishing occurs…
376 164 Hormones are not allowed in poultry or pork in the US… they are allowed in cattle and sheep, to promote growth.

for someone who is supposedly a christian, this is really a selfish take, and very much OT -flavored.
Maybe the woman in question had a horribly traumatic sexual incident inflicted on her in her childhood, and can't stand the sight of a male sex organ.
It's possible.
Posted by: kallisto at December 11, 2023 04:23 PM (dCxaZ)
If not disclosed prior to marriage, that's fraud.
This isn't selfishness. Men and women BOTH have duties in a marriage and telling one that all they have is responsibilities and have to bear the WHOLE of the burden is slavery.

I remember someone... Not sure who, making the observation that physical intimacy is not an on or off thing. It needs to be constantly renewed or else it withers on the vine.
Just from my own family experience (as squicky as it may be to analyze now):
Grandma and Grandpa- I think they were still pretty intimate. He always made a point of kissing her often, when he would leave the house. Just because. She could be... cold, but I think he kept her going.
Mom and Dad were/are the same way.

Funny enough, that's the big reason I quit when we had kids. I was out-earning the spouse and paid off his grad degree, and that was always a sore point for him. So, when we chatted about who would stay home after kid 1 (and find sporadic online work, which I did til kid 3), it was me.
No regrets, b/c I love my spouse. And behind every great man is a great woman - my mom and dad always touted that (and yes, my mom, with 6 kids and a masters in Chem, also stayed home after kid 1)...
It's hard for high achievers to quit b/c society tells you not to do so...but that's why religion and self-worth are so important. Your job is not your worth, and many folks - men and women - can't separate that.

Korea will see it happen faster if they go down that road. Their own fertility collapse coupled with a massive migratory inflow is a 1-2 punch unlike anything the west will experience. At the end of the day, it will happen in Europe and might (looking likely, but we're finally seeing meaningful opposition) happen here - but nowhere near as quickly. Korea could burn out in a single generation.

South Korea has the highest rate of plastic surgery in the world. It is commonplace to the point that if someone has some kind of "flaw" it is considered strange if the person doesn't have surgery. This is for both men and women.
I know someone who had extensive burn scars from a vehicle accident and US surgeons were more or less this is the best we can do. She went to SK for about a year and went through procedures that sound like hell on earth. And now you can only see the edges of the scars if you know where to look and look closely.

That would be irresponsible and unserious.
I owe them for financially providing for me as I was growing up, for putting a roof over my head as a child.
I have a duty to respect what they want out of me. Even if I can't live up to it.

2) I have always avoided psychoactive drugs like the plague after how hard cigarettes hit me.

We are both well past 29 x 2. Both of us experienced very rough marriages before. Going on 15 years now and it gets better every day. She's my best friend.
Sex doesn't overwhelm the brain as it once did but we are both happy where we are with it.
Not coincidently, we meet on a faith based website and share the same tradition and commitment to our faith.

And when the wife says, no, not interested any more, the guy still has to hold up his end of the bargain.

Mom... not amused. After that? Dad, me Bro, and I, would go to see Bond flicks when they came out.

I maintain that 95 percent of females either are attractive, or could be if they had any desire to be so. Kind of sucks for the remaining five percent, but they can make up for it with good personality or whatever.
But if a woman chooses to be fugly, then it's her problem.

Two things about that sex study: 1) These kids don't need movies to see sex. Unlike my generation, which had to sneak the odd look at dad's Playboy stash, graphic porn is always at their fingertips. And 2) when you ask these kinds of questions in person, they mostly tell you what they think you want to hear.

Saw something interesting in the box office report for this past weekend, 2 of the top movies in the US are foreign movies, both from Japan.
Leading the box office was Miyazaki's latest anime "The Boy and the Heron". I have 3 daughters in their 30's and this was OVERLY EXCITING to them since they essentially grew up on Miyazaki anime distributed by Studio Ghibli.
Also in the top 3 was "Godzilla Minus One". Ok, this one excites ME! I grew up with cheesy Sci-Fi movies every Friday night. I am a HUGE Godzilla (Gojira) fan.
The big news here is that 2 foreign movies, made with small (by Disney standards) budgets are leading the box office because they are ENGAGING and well founded storylines!
Also would love to see a weekend movie thread about Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli!

I was actually talking to one of my supervisors about that today.
1) I am VERY glad I did not come of age during the Ritalin era- I would have been a prime target.
2) I have always avoided psychoactive drugs like the plague after how hard cigarettes hit me.

This is the saddest thread I think I have ever read.
I couldn't agree more. Month in and month out, you see people telling The Generations how everything ought to be. Then one day there's a tell-all or a click bait, and they all reveal how screwed up their own lives are, and how desperately unhappy.
Makes it hard to take their other deep thinking very seriously.

4 Our country is so hyper-focused on sex that we screwed up an entire generation.
MARRIAGE is the best way to a good sex life.
We don't teach children this truth.
And then we allow them to get addicted to virtual interactions (both sexual and non) and are shocked when they act like monks in real life.

Statistically WRONG.
A significant number of marriages (approaching 50%) are sexless.
About 25% of couples in marriages have sex less than once a month.

Now having said the above, married couples may have more sex overall (especially when younger), but it's not some great amount. It's almost a universal law that once a woman gives birth her libido goes down.

so these kids grew up watching their parents watch TV shows and movies with gratuitous sex scenes that add nothing to the plot, the story or anything else.... and they see these scenes for what they are........ unimportant fluff and time wasters...... and you all think they are the problem? The pendulum swings back towards storytelling and away from porn........... so whose got the problem?

My church has families of 3 to 6 children, not uncommonly. The dads work and the moms stay home and work from home or very part time… the “ deal” is they want their children and their big families. A priority. So sex is alive and well, depends onwhere you look..

Hollywood has touted the single and swinger mindset a long time. But even back in the 80s I remember surveys showing that boring old married couples had way more sex than singles.

Yeah, but getting married isn't any guarantee. Also you're potentially stuck with someone for 50 years. There really aren't many truly successful marriages out there, maybe 10%. Most stay together because of the kids, social pressure and financial convenience.

The rise in home insurance and property taxes during the Governorship of the Meatball on Stilts is out of fucking control.

"Married men - ten years or more. How many of you are satisfied, and how many are not and only stay because of a sense of duty ?"
27 years married, sole breadwinner for most of it. The marital bed was always chilly, and there has been nothing at all for the last 15. I don't bother trying anymore. Eventually one comes to terms with the fact that she "settled" and desire never had anything to do with it.
Of course I have the option to divorce; however, if I stay I have the option to retire in a few years. The courts would surely rule so that I can't do both.
