Hot take: you DO owe your partner physical intimacy
Not as some free-use sex slave but as their sole romantic partner
Humans derive a lot of their emotional attachment through physical touch and taking that away is cruel and neglectful. I think that becoming essentially roommates is an awful fate that befalls a ton of relationships.
Its understandable if you feel like intimacy is a chore. We've all been tired, stressed, or sick. But your partner has physical and emotional needs that you promised to fulfill in exchange for exclusivity and love when you agreed to get together. You dont get to neglect that if you can help it. Modern life is busy and crazy and sometimes it feels like everyone demands too much from you. But thats why you lean on your partner. You owe it to them (and they to you) to never let your intimacy grow complacent!
@ClippedMyTeeth@William226160 No one here is asking for abdication, I'm certainly not, I'm just telling you that corellation does not equal causation. Is there people who go down the deep end when it come sto porn? Definitely, but thats like most things in excess, including religion and zealotry.
@BackThanksElon@AbolitionRising Better question is how they graduate middle school without understanding basic grammar, we're suppose to learn this stuff well before college.
@ClippedMyTeeth@William226160 Not claiming to be an expert, I'm just a man using common sense. Watching porn doesn't make someone a sex-pest. Just like how reading history and quoting Robert E. Lee doesn't make you an expert in history. I would know, being someone who reads history.
Wait, South Korea… are you serious?!
Local residents started grilling pork belly (samgyeopsal) right in front of a mosque.
The methods used by protesters opposing the construction of a mosque in South Korea are making headlines around the world for being absolutely ruthless.
@KirscheVerstahl I am so sick of people using Russia as a boogie man like as if we still live during the cold war. Like, come on man, Russia could be a good ally and all we do is treat them like they are still the Soviet Union.
@energizedmutt@RealDavisRanger@lolzzzzz619@the_Ion_one@TheWord222@aalo_chaat Most men don't want to fuck children, like 99% don't, and there are plenty of women who do that shit too. No one is bashing women's fiction here, just that there is a clear difference between the monster smut the men read and the kind women read.
@RealDavisRanger@lolzzzzz619@energizedmutt@the_Ion_one@TheWord222@aalo_chaat Yes but the difference is that the women in monster smut for men are still women and not full-on monsters with animal bits most of the time. I ain't kink shaming you or other women into such smut, I'd be hypocrite otherwise, but there is quite the stark contrast between the two.
“GEN Z DOESN’T DRINK”
“GEN Z DOESN’T DATE”
“GEN Z DOESN’T BUY HOUSES”
“GEN Z DOESN’T HAVE KIDS”
“GEN Z DOESN’T SMILE”
Maybe because:
• They graduated into a pandemic
• Job hunted into an AI apocalypse
• Entered the housing market when rates hit 8%
• Watched a world war start before they turned 25
• Got their first paycheck and lost 30% to taxes they’ll never see benefits from
• Student loans kicked in the same month rent doubled
• Were told to “just network” during two years of lockdown
• Grew up on social media designed to make them feel worthless
• Watched billionaires add trillions during COVID while they lost their jobs
• Inherited a planet that’s literally on fire
• Were promised the American Dream and handed the American Bill
But yeah.
It’s the avocado toast.
@ThaBeefGames@ChaoticFennec@Whirlybirdie2 You say most but statistics show its STILL a huge minority. I'm afraid to say you are suffering from a bias braught on by an over exposure of seeing submissive men.
