The Sex Recession - AKA Millenials should be having more sex

This so much.
I've spent my whole adult life working towards having at least one redeeming quality, but I just can't imagine any woman ever being happy with me.
None of this is true.
There's a lot of pretty gross people walking around some of the malls around here, and they're doing so with their partners.
This is all a narrative created by our modern exposure to social media.
Traits that people like in human beings are likely to be traits you like in other people.
Isn't this kind of a good thing? Over population and all that.
So stop listening to your own self-admitted, self created narrative that does you no good what so ever?
If you tell yourself something, you're going to fucking believe it. If you repeat a negative mantra constantly, you're going to believe it.
I frankly refuse to believe that the average person can't find a partner, some of the people I see walking around with their wives or girlfriends who are just atrocious looking people are proof people can do it. Those "attrocious" looking people may be gentle and loving partners who have earned their partners love, or their may be something else going on. But I don't believe anyone(outside of the most extreme situations) is destined to be alone.
Over population isn't at all a problem in developed countries. The problem most developed countries have is ageing populations because no one is having kids any more.
Not in western countries where there is an obvious problem of the population greying out. Third world countries and such have a overpopulation problem which in turn causes mass immigration towards first world countries.
Especially Japan with its working culture is causing a serious decline in population.
plus condoms here are taxed like luxury items :V
Yeah but this is inevitable. The idea that you can just have infinite population growth was ridiculous and this was bound to happen eventually.
Another thing is cultural stigma, College hookup culture is a a massive part of any talking about Colleges.
Only 5% of students take part, and less than 1% actually enjoy it.
Having spend most of my life on the internet I've made many long distance friends. But I've never had a girlfriend.
I exist in this weird dimension. Not antisocial and people like being around me, but I have a strange sense of humor (which can be offputting, if I'm not careful) and I'm a very strong introvert. Which makes wanting to be around anybody for a length of time difficult, due to it being hugely stressful.
But I still have managed to pull off a couple relationships despite that. I used to think I never could, but that's changed. Its actually pretty surprising and eye opening, that people genuinely do want to be around you and can appreciate your weirdness and flaws, and even find them endearing.
I wish I could have sex, but my dick is too big. It just scares people away.
Guess I'm gonna die as a virgin.
bruh just turn around and show them that sweet büssy
Get into porn, you're a shoe in. just fill out an application and slap on there "big ass dick"
Mine's bent like a fuckin banana. I can shoot around corners with this hot boi.
Work and anti depressants make getting in the mood a real effort. Have to watch some real nasty shit to get in the mood these days
Only shallow people judge you solely on the surface level stuff, and for your own benefit you probably shouldn't try to date those kinds of people anyway.
(Yes, I'm saying this as a virgin myself. But I legitimately believe this to be true. Not just for you, but also for me. I have no interest in trying to score a date with someone who would reject me just because my natural voice is a little funny sounding, and I don't have a body builder physique.)
Capitalism is making people wage slaves working constant hours, forcing people into uncomfortable living conditions, making houses and children unaffordable, and making dates financially unviable. Until society abandons capitalism, you are getting NO punani
I don't see a problem with anything the article addressed. If you're from a family with a modest income like I am, priority really comes down to sorting yourself out so you can attain some sort of financial stability. I'm currently working really hard at finding permanent employment, which given the current demands for the workforce, is a time consuming effort. I don't have the time that I would be willing to afford to pursuing a relationship and I am totally opposed to hookup culture - I think meaningless, throwaway sex is morally questionable and at times grossly irresponsible. I think it would be a real corruption of my character if I viewed women as merely a sexual outlet, and I don't say that as some raging feminist. You're not just cheapening the person you're doing it with, you're cheapening yourself.
I've never pursued casual sex or serious relationships yet, despite having the proposition of both offered to me. I think the complexities of modernity disincentivise viewing the world flippantly and I think that extends beyond just having irresponsible sex. I'd rather continue to develop myself as a person, both personally and professionally, find a stable form of employment and then think about getting into a relationship and starting a family.
haha beta cucks complaining once again
the red pill saved my life

I feel you. I'm torn hopping between school, home, and internships so even if I had financial stability I'm not exactly in a position to settle down somewhere just yet. I tried dating on campus once and it lasted about 6 weeks before moving long-distance nonsense kicked in. I tried hooking up once and though the sex was good, I had long term regret... the whole thing felt sketchy and I felt out of place going to someone's apartment (who they shared with at least one other roommate) to do the deed.
The other thing about sex is that you end up smelling like the person you were with for a while... so all of those thoughts linger until the smell goes away. Hookup culture ain't for me, and I don't think I can let myself get too attached when I'm not guaranteed to stay where my school is after I graduate.
I'm 2 months from being a wizard, not gonna give up.
legalize prostitution, recognize that hook up culture benefits only the attractive, and sex without emotion is not very pleasant for a lot of people so they dont really want to have it, dont make men feel like creepers for asking women out and dont make women feel like sluts for going after a man/wanting to fuck him
millennials are killing the sex industry
I fart too much.
This recession needs a "stimulus package"
Ain't got time to breed.
To me it seems like there's a huge gulf. The people I do know who have active sex lives have -REALLY- active sex lives, but there's not really an in-between. Either someone's having tons of it or none at all. I can't imagine this is terribly healthy.
The main reason I don't do it more is because after getting home late, I'm too tired and there isn't enough time... I think having sex too much would ruin it anyway. It would make it like a chore. Spontaneous and occasional is better.
