There is an inverse relationship between reproduction rates and how preoccupied a society is with sex.
Discussion
People who have (or are planning on having) children tend to think about the future and make plans and build.
Everyone else tends to think about the present and in the present there is only pleasure. And what greater pleasure than an orgasm?
Data?
Source?
Yes, please
I made it up.
Lol, I've heard that before.
A culture obsessed with sex is not having much sex. Good sex comes from intimacy, which is lacking in a self obsessed culture. An obsession with sex comes from unmet desires.
I think real sexual intercourse is the prerequisite for the deepest intimacy and many people aren't having that, in low-birthrate countries, so they're chronically unsatisfied.
Lol
That doesn't mean it isn't true, just that I didn't bother referring to any data because it seems like an obvious pattern.
I know. It doesn't mean it isn't true, but it also doesn't mean that it's true. 🤷
Providing a source also wouldn't mean that it's true. It would just make it more convincing.
"More convincing" is better than "less convincing"
The original post is actually quite convincing, but would be good to see some data/source. Often things that sound reasonable are bs
Yes, but running the numbers requires work.
That would depend upon the audience. Sometimes a statement is merely there to acknowledge something generally acknowledged to be true, so that nobody needs to be convinced.
