N e one else worry about our future?

The US is ground zero for westernization. The rest of the world follows us, our movies/ our tv shows, our innovations, our customs, etc. How are we as an aggregate sexually oppressed? LOL

In some aspects this is true, however sexually other countries are way more liberal.
 
Can't stand when people are uptight about sex. In Germany you can eat at a diner while watching a dike show. The way it should be :smokin

My friends in college would excuse themselves from playing XBox to fap: "be right back I'm gonna squeeze one out real quick. Do you have any good p0rn? Have you seen my nut sock?"

I feel like I should be able to go into work and talk about the latest Abella Anderson Bang Bros scene amongst peers like we were talking about the Sox.
I disagree. Free discussion of porn or peep shows in restaurants isn't sexual liberation though, in my opinion. I think it's childish and counter-productive to broadcast one's sexual interests (whatever they may be) or level of sexual activity to the world. I'm all for individuals going out there and going after what they are actually into, but it doesn't have to become something that they need to discuss with anyone beyond their partners and close friends. Too many people these days use their body counts so to speak or crazy sex stories as a way of trying to establish social proof. This leads to a lot of people going out and having sex just so they have a story for the boys at brunch the next day. That's stupid. Go out and have sex because you want to build a meaningful connection with someone else (even if it's just a connection for the night).

In short, I think society has started to treat sex as a form of social currency, so it gets talked about, sold, promoted, and marketed, whereas, in essence, sex should be about the individuals involved.
I'm sorry if that's uptight though.

So would you be willing to live at someone else's level of comfort, sexually speaking or do things stop at your personal comfort zone? In other words I don't think we are sexually repressed. What about our society gives you that idea? Porn isn't blocked from the internet and anyone that can operate google can find it. The government doesn't block it. Media outlets don't really sensor sex or sexual content, they just don't show nudity, but we don't cover statues in public places that show nudity...

Women, including teenagers walk around showing most of their bodies off when it's hot and I don't hear a public uproar or see any news of women being stoned to death. How are we as a society uptight?

Music celebrates sex on most radio stations. What exactly is our society uptight about?

I disagree with your example of talking about Bang Bros at work because you may be into that, but your co-worker may be into animals, brutality or other stuff that's "legal" but not necessarily to your liking. Do you want to hear about those things? Details of gay porn while you're trying to focus on work? How about incest? It's all good, right?

Don't you think we should have some standards of what's ok to talk about at work to keep things professional (at least within earshot?)
Good post.




This. Movies like No Strings Attached have a lot to do with it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the overall plot that the two couldn't just be friends with benefits but caught feelings in the end?

Compared to western Europe, there's a pretty big difference.

True. But Google did update their image search so XXX won't show up unless you're OD specific. Maybe a sign of things to come?

Stoned to death? This isn't the middle east. Kinda hard to compare us with underdeveloped countries.

WESTFIELDAbout 40 girls out of 1,450 students at Westfield High School were identified on Tuesday and Wednesday by school officials as being in violation of the dress policy and were asked to go home and change outfits or call parents to bring a change of clothing to school. Superintendent of Schools Suzanne Scallion, who stressed that they majority of students were dressed appropriately, said Wednesday she fully supports the decision of Principal Jonathan Carter to enforce a dress policy outlined in a handbook all students and parents must sign at the beginning of each school year. More specifically, female students are prohibited from wearing short shorts and skirts, skinny jeans, yoga pants and leggings, as well as revealing tops.

Good points. I definitely went over the top regarding the workplace scenario.

I wish I could link you to the news article where 75% of girls at a highschool was pregnant. Saw it about 2 years ago I believe.
 
I've given up on this current generation so I have no hope for the next. Stealing each others jewelry, the way we treat and make fun of our women, the poison we sell each other on street corners, and the babies having babies thing really just dumbfounds me.
 
I have two daughters to raise in this mess. I'm responsible for them, they'll be alright...but its these fboy's running around with no respect for anyone or anything I'm worried about.

Sorry if I'm not a negative nancy, but I don't look at this generation as being as horrible as some of y'all. We've FINALLY gotten some progressive thinking about major issues like drug laws, the Prison Industrial Complex, sexuality, race, religion (or those who are not religious) and war

While I agree, the reliance on technology is gotten out of hand as a whole and a LOT of people need to take a step back from it, I don't see things with this generation going down hill at 100 mph like everybody else sees. I'm more worried about the stuck-in-past throught processes of the older generation (45+) running things into the ground before ppl my age even have a chance.

And the sexual oppression that occured (and still occurs) in this country is beyond silly. The fact that some grown men feel like they have to PAY for sex and people still aren't open to talking about sex (of if that have/have had a STI) is a damn shame. The Brain craves water, food, sleep and sex, the fact that we're supposed to somehow drastically hold back one of those cravings is incredibly stupid. Moreso to think that the idea of just telling kids to "practice abstinence" was really thought to be the answer to STI's and teen pregnancy is downright hilarious and failed miserably.

One thing that worries me is the dissolving family structure. Divorce rates are high, and single-parent households will become the norm in the very near future.

Other developed countries are far more sexually free than we are, but ironically have lower rates of STDs, and unwanted pregnancies. Americans are generally sexually repressed, and when we release that tension it is done in very irresponsible ways. That's the way I look at it. It also explains why amongst very religious parts of the country, and amongst more religious populations STDs are actually highers yet sexual avoidance is a "value".
 
The teenagers you're seeing are a continuation of my generation's issue. Having both parents at home. I know some might argue that women should go work, but I'm a firm believer that mom should be home while dad is earning money for his family.

This is coming from someone who has been at home with small children, some things moms really are better.

I think you might be overlooking the lack of fathers even existing in families nowadays.

These women are working because they're single mothers.

The early to mid 1900s went through 2 world wars, upheld what we regard today as important family values (even though some of them were a by-product of sexist thinking), and piggybacked off the industrial revolution to fuel the greatest period of innovation and productivity America has ever seen (atomic energy, transportation advancement, household appliances, etc.), AND wrapped it up with the civil rights movement.


My mothers generation (late 60s forward); however, is famous for what? Rampant drug use due to hippies, disco, and crack epidemic; The Vietnam war, arguably the most frivolous loss of life ever which set a precedent for fighting un-winnable wars to bring down dictators (although some older people probably responsible for that), explosion of pop culture influence on society through music and television; horrible economic policy causing inflation, and the one thing I can't complain about, the internet. 

Our generation is a direct by product of consumerism replacing family values and weakening the economy for the sake of more open trade and globalization. We can point fingers at each other if you want, but ultimately we were born into a mess after the late 80s. All we can do now is wait for the previous generation to slowly lose it's grip on the power structure and try to right the mistakes they made, assuming anyone is awake enough to learn from them.

read the article but for TLDR cliffs

Study: 30-somethings worse off than their parents' generation for the first time since the Great Depression
Urban Institute study says younger generations don't build as much wealth
Average net worth of 30-somethings has decreased 21% since 1983, but for 74 and older, average net worth has increased 149%
Trend caused by stagnant wages, fewer jobs, shrinking home values and high loan burdens

Say word? Progress is slowly being made. :smile:
 
i feel like we lost our way when people started trading in the cities in for suburbs

...given up where the days of community and neighborhood closeness for nothing but spread out excess and materialism...destroyed were the positive influence of seeing multiple generations at any given time...when grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins lived in close proximity to one another...
