>"In exchanges like these, I was struck by what a paralyzing and vicious cycle unhappiness and abstinence can be. The data show that having sex makes people happier (up to a point, at least; for those in relationships, more than once a week doesn’t seem to bring an additional happiness bump). Yet unhappiness inhibits desire, in the process denying people who are starved of joy one of its potential sources. Are rising rates of unhappiness contributing to the sex recession? Almost certainly. But mightn’t a decline in sex and intimacy also be leading to unhappiness?"

Which recent movies cover the impact of the sex recession on the lives of young men?

>see guys!!! It’s not just me not having sex it’s everyone!

have sex

I've only made it three times. The first thread led to a very interesting discussion about the depiction of sexual intercourse in the history of cinema, as well as a great deal of shared insight into the current sex recession.

This will be the last time I make it today though, I apologize for "shitting up the board" as they say.

Unironically go back to r*ddit.

I'm genuinely sorry for spamming. I tried deleting the thread but I can't delete it now.

sure beats the endless Endgame/GoT spam

My conversations on OkCupid don't fucking go anywhere how the fuck am I supposed to

How long does the average conversation on there last?

I've read a dozen articles on this "sex recession" from mainstream outlets and the authors always take pains to not mention how women's high standards are the main cause.

To be fair this article does cover that:

>"In reality, unless you are exceptionally good-looking, the thing online dating may be best at is sucking up large amounts of time. As of 2014, when Tinder last released such data, the average user logged in 11 times a day. Men spent 7.2 minutes per session and women spent 8.5 minutes, for a total of about an hour and a half a day. Yet they didn’t get much in return. Today, the company says it logs 1.6 billion swipes a day, and just 26 million matches. And, if Simon’s experience is any indication, the overwhelming majority of matches don’t lead to so much as a two-way text exchange, much less a date, much less sex. [...] When I talked with Simon, he was seven months into a relationship with a new girlfriend, whom he’d met through another online-dating service. He liked her, and was happy to be on hiatus from Tinder. “It’s like howling into the void for most guys,” he explained,"

Online dating never works. You’d have to be the stupidest brainlet alive to use those platforms unironically. And don’t even get me started on the FREE ONES

>go on dating apps
>95% of girls mention TACOS, the Office, traveling, and loving to eat alot in their bios
i never had a chance

I have 3 different women I cycle through week-to-week when I get horny. This doesn't affect me so I don't care. Stay mad virgins.

>young people
Only young men. Young women are thots and are having plenty of sex.

My ex met her boyfriend through Tinder 2 years ago and it's an abysmal relationship. She still sends me nudes. Apps like that should only be used for casual sex.
As long as they don't mention being "genderqueer" or "open relationships" or any shit like that, I'm fine with it. I've even had older women invite me to fuck them while their husbands watched. Online "dating" is a mad world.

>Online dating never works.
it does tho, maybe talk to some more people

There's a funny meme about that somewhere

my last gf was from Bumble, we dated about 4 months before we broke up because I stopped getting turned on during sex lol (though she told me it was because she wasnt emotionally in a good spot to be dating lmao)

lose weight

That isn’t just me though 3 of my friends also tried it and had the exact same experience
>talk to people
Yeah. I go outside to do that, give it a try sometime. Dumb frogposter

Why did you stop getting turned on?

>"Back in 1992, the big University of Chicago survey reported that 20 percent of women in their late 20s had tried anal sex; in 2012, the NSSHB found a rate twice that. She also told me about new data suggesting that, compared with previous generations, young people today are more likely to engage in sexual behaviors prevalent in porn, like the ones she warns her students against springing on a partner."

Wow, 40% of women have tried anal sex by the time they turn 30. That's an incredible statistic.

>I'm not in a good spot emotionally to be dating
>gets on a dating website
Dumb whore. Just pin her down and fuck her mercilessly and don't get emotionally invested.

that's cause you and your friends are fugly weirdos

My gf is obsessed with anal for some reason.

You type like a woman, fuck off bitch no one cares.

You have to be indie-trendy to get laid on OKC. It also helped me when I made my profile pic me and a cute girl

Must be a feeder paradise

my gf at age 17 asked me if i wanted to fuck her ass the third time she ever had sex

You're just fishing for (You)s faggot, this thread sucks and is off-topic bait, but at least it's not GoTcapewars.

We are literally in a sex boom you moron. Women’s (((sexual liberation))) is at an all time high, and the internet eliminates the need to even seek out partners socially. You are in a personal sexual depression because you are a fucking virgin which is your own fault and can only be solved by you. Stop making this thread it has literally nothing to do with film

Three message rule. Start with joke or whatever then ask if she wants to get coffee then if she agree set up a time. Have coffee for 30min then leave with her number if she's interested in a 2nd date. Bing bang boom done. Remember that most women and hot guys have 10's of messages each day which are just 'hi' or 'how was your week' and they will not respond to that. This is for dating only though, sex through online dating is only for gays, fuckboys and maybe 10% of women online who probably use a secret app normies aren't aloud to use.

>he uses paid online dating and still can’t get laid
You’re either ugly or literally too stupid to use your phone

I'm genuinely interesting in this issue and hearing from how people are affected. Movie recs would be great too.

24
She begged me to try anal 2 years ago and she's been obsessed with it ever since. She also watches a lot of anal porn, even anal gangbangs. She's into bondage and abuse as well. I tie her hands to the bed posts when I fuck her in the ass. She's not boring at the very least.

Literally Satan talkin through you.
Where's monogamy, love, loyalty, commitment?
Casual Sex is indistinguishable from me buying prostitutes regularly.

What else is a Yea Forums autist to do?

>Meet girls in clubs!
Club girls are trash.

>Just talk up some random cunt on the street!
Even Chad can't get away with this, fuck off. I'll concede that 90% of girls on dating apps are trash and the remaining 10% are too narcissistic to give anyone beyond 10/10s a chance, but what alternative is there?

You have to play with the cards dealt to you. Most women aren't into monogamy, love, loyalty, commitment so why even bother? Fuck em and dump em.
