I am not a teen.

    I think that there’s a lot of anxiety more than puritanism. There’s a lot of reasons, but one of them is certainly the growing political divide; women are trending more and more liberal, and men more and more conservative. Women don’t want to get trapped by a man that doesn’t think that she should have rights, while men seem to think that they are ‘owed’ a woman to have their babies (…and how are they going to fucking pay for those kids, when they think their wife is going to stay at home, and they have zero fucking job prospects…?).

    TBH, if I was a woman, I sure as fuck would not want to risk dating men right now.

      Yeah I think that anxiety is the reason people don’t want to see it.

      The study also shows that they want escapism and fantasy stories that are only happy more than ever as well.
      Ignoring the harsh bits is the point and the anxiety of the topic of Sex itself is I think the key factor in it being taboo because people want to ignore that which makes them uncomfortable.
