According to a new trend piece in The Washington Post, millennials no longer want to fuck.
Yes, you read that right – us ‘sex-crazed millennials’ who ‘can’t get off Tinder‘, not even for ‘Grandma’s funeral’, are apparently just not into doing the sex anymore.
It’s sad, but true. None of us want your love junk in our fun spunk. We don’t want your moaning or your boning. No, THANK YOU [insert hot person of choice], but no sex for us today, or in fact, ever. Millennials have stopped boning… and it’s not even a ‘baby boomer conspiracy’ to force our ‘terrible generation’ to end with us.
“I’d rather be watching YouTube videos and making money [than having sex],” he says. “[Sex] is not going to be something people ask you for on your resume.”
Now here’s where the research comes in: a new report published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour said that 15% of 20- to 24-year-olds have not had sex since turning 18 (up from 6% in the early 90s), and a 2015 report said that millennials have a lower average number of sexual partners than our free-loving, economy-ruining parents (8 vs 11).
But for Noah, at least, another slightly more… how should we say this… lurks on misogynistic forums-type reason has emerged.
From the Washington Post: Meanwhile, in efforts to counteract hookup and drinking culture, some campuses have begun instigating “yes-means-yes” rules stipulating that each step of a sexual encounter requires verbal consent.
For some, staying away altogether can feel less treacherous. That is Patterson’s takeaway. “Third-wave feminists seem to be crazy, saying that all men are participating in this rape culture.”
Ah yes, that old cock-blocker: consent.
