Thirsty old men want you to think that young teenagers are all having sex, so it's somehow inevitable, but that's fake news.
Most people haven't had sex until they pass 17, with a large cohort waiting until their 20s. Teenage sexual activity, for all sexes and sexual orientations, is trending steadily downward.
Everyone with teenagers at home already knew this, by the way.
in my day 16 was common
but it used to be that you had to be married so a lot of teenagers used to get married in the old days, and the glow lasted long enough that they were stuck with each other and had to finish their apprenticeship/work for the parents to feed their monsters and... well, back then i imagine that it was little different, at 16 most people's hormones hit the ATH
Being preoccupied with sex has become weird, anti-social behavior. Even masturbation is down.
the mass murder loving eugenics elite ultimate method of culling the herd, they love their survival of the fittest thing, fittest of course being their own children, everyone else must be a mindless drone slave without any aspirations of their own, everything implanted and fake
It's a historical anomaly for young teenagers to have sex, actually. That was caused by the introduction of cheap cars, welfare expansion, substance abuse and broken homes, widespread abortion, and contraception.
Extremely unfit to have sex outside of marriage and before you're old enough to be a viable spouse. Wealthy people have always tried to delay their children's sexual onset into their late teens and early twenties.
i dunno what to say, go read through genesis again, and come back to me
Go read through European historical records and see how old people actually were, when they married.
Marrying your children off young was for the very poor (who couldn't feed them) and the very rich (who used the marriages to seal alliances).
https://www.statista.com/statistics/557962/average-age-at-marriage-england-and-wales/
and the majority of people were poor, and labor was scarce, and necessary
and 200 years ago both you and i would have been among those "fertile poor"
economics only changes the amount of education and opportunities, it doesn't change the underlying biology or timing
Economics actually effects puberty, so no.
if you think that the food and the television and the brainwashing and the secular society isn't artificially reducing fertility then i really don't want to partake in this conversation any further
marriage is passe, apparently, and so is having children because the environment and humans are destroying the planet, they all just want to turn into neutered media digestors and die at a euthanasia center these days
not any wonder, but carry on, it's just about the economics
Both of my grandmothers were child brides and not “poor” or particularly affluent. I do think your perspective here is Eurocentric. This is still happening all over the world.
I consider my Eurocentricism a feature, not a bug.
Where I’m from in the US it’s still p normal for 16 year olds to get married! I’m not sure if it’s become more common or less common over my life time but also I moved to a different state now where 18 is the legal age min for marriage licenses. I was proposed to when I was 17 (I said no tho and people were surprised!)
Oh thank you for this!! Very enlightening to look at both the global as well as more specific European/American trends in this regard! I also have never heard of this group (I know very little about Bahá’ís other than part of the abrahamic faith tradition category)
From reading the article, it seems that the lack of sex is due to anti-social behavior. Kids are more chronically online, living with their parents without a job or in-person social life, and compare sex to what they see in porn; not really a positive...
That statement only makes sense if you consider teenagers sleeping around to be anything other than anti-social behavior.
Also love the way you put "hangs out with their family instead of going out and getting shitfaced and laid by randos" and "is totally grossed out watching the same degenerate stuff we're all frantically whacking it to", in the antisocial category.
Okay.
Look to Japan to see where this is going. So many are into porn, plus many are into video games way too much.
Don't give your kids phones with internet access, and no video games.
also this is a sign of the decline of civilization
the governments and banks are robbing us so hard of everything, including our attention, and especially, the girls brains are being filled with this nonsense about identities, and the food is giving everyone psychiatric disorders, that there isn't normal healthy behaviour going on hardly anywhere anymore
I don't think young, unmarried people having sex is healthy behavior, tho.
They should be learning to socialize through shared interests, family, and friendships, not sexual intercourse.
i think you are lying to yourself if you say you weren't hot to trot at 16
this idea that you should wait until you "have a career" is pure fiat brainwashing, and stuffy 20th century protestantism, boomers were so squeamish about this, the generation before, my mother's family had 7 children... my grandmother died trying to give herself an abortion (she was a nurse) and my mother was 7 years old, my mother was the second child
and my father's family, also something like 7 children, my father was the first
yeah, i'm calling "stuffy boomer protestantism" on this one
just go talk to some of your contemporaries at the catholic church who are second or more generation about what their parents family life was about
the catholics were famous for their fecundity and this is definitely something that i think was a sign of a healthy social structure... boys going to work at 16 and once they are doing that they should also be getting married and making babies
People used to die younger and so did their offspring. Time to adapt.
ngl i like it when you expose the things in your thinking that conflict with the rest of your personality and to me reek of brainwashing and a form that i am very familiar as growing up in the Seventh Day Adventist church in a country full of mostly Anglicans (my mother's family were Anglican)
no, it says, over, and over, and over again in the Bible
Be fruitful and multiply
you don't get that without lots of sex
that was separate to the question of marriage
i always felt that the moment i consummated with a woman once i hit 20 years of age that i was married to her and there should be no reason why we don't stay together and have children
but all the women's minds are filled with this shoulds and should nots and bullshit that were the early groundwork of engineering genocide where the population decimates itself by a demographic collapse
I got pregnant, the first attempt, both times. You need to have sex once per cycle, to get pregnant. Everything else is recreation or bonding.
There is no longer a direct connection between fertility and frequency, across the population, because most sexually active people use contraception and people who want to get pregnant can pinpoint peak fertility to the precise hour.
Science.
The correlation is now almost entirely with marriage, not frequent sexual activity. Married women are more fertile. Well-educated married women are the most fertile
yeah because everyone else is being fed birdfood
No, because women don't want to bear children unless they have a stable marriage and an active, involved father for their children.
Wealthier, well-educated women have more stable marriages. This is dads beating cads.
yeah, because women are trained to be pompous, ambitious bitches these days, and it was already starting to be a big problem when i was a teenager
wealth makes people more prudent, but being chemically and mentally neutered also makes you less fertile
Women sleep around --> Women are not choosy enough!
Women prefer to marry --> Women are too choosy!
and this again shows you how if you want to destroy society, the women are the weak point you attack
No actually well educated women have the highest divorce rates. Everything you're saying is backwards. 30% of paternity tests fail. 80% of divorces are initiated by women. The hookup culture is only rising and now STIs are on the rise with them. Marriage and birth rates are at an all time low. Diamond and wedding cakes sales have dropped.
doesn't change the fact that it is forbidden by the religion you follow, and this is the reason why, it contradicts God's first edict towards humanity
There is nothing irreligious about not having sex. I am Catholic, not Quiverfull.
hey, if you can't tell the difference between what all the chemicals in the food are doing to you and what a healthy woman should feel like then i feel sorry for you
the whole world is suffering this, but you can see why just go look at the labels, this isn't rocket science but they have distracted everyone so much and normalised mass population control so carry on preaching their doctrines
My grandparents subsisted off of beans, bread made of moldy grains and sawdust, and green potatoes.
Made worse by amplified feedback from the algorithms. The red pill and black pill are force fed into the feed because "it grabs attention". Then you have people selling courses to up your game or whatever, video shorts showing the uper echelons of permiscuity, furthering the drop into echo chambers where vindictive or nihilistic behaviors and mentalities are encouraged. Its really gross.
porn also reduces actual sex too
CDC says it’s going in the right direction. That people have less sex.
So i would take this as another example of proof, that they want that we die out. Like many western countries are right now. Birth rates getting lower, and the welfare of the social system (the good parts at least) will crumble down.
Or if you will….it’s another proof that they are just too stupid or corrupt or both and you should not trust them, because they think less sex is good.
Either way CDC do not want the best for humanity.
They are not saying fewer people are having sex. They're saying fewer minors are having sex.
Yes, but this will be the precursor to what we should expect. We know already, the older you are, the less sex you will have. Maybe soon they are in their 20s and have no Intention at all to have sex, thus, somewhat of a population problem.
At least that is my theory. A quiet realistic one i think.
It seems to mostly be shifting right. People still have enough sexual intercourse to procreate, if they are married and want children.
Recreational sex has just sorta gotten dull because it's become so cheap.
they don't want you to think that.. That's what they were doing. Older generations didn't have endless hours of scrolling and Netflix. They had 3 TV channels and a radio, and that wasn't even until the 60's.
My grandfather was one of 32 kids. 16 kids by 2 different wives... They were having a lot of sex, and playing a lot of dominoes. They were much happier than we are now.
Dumm fickt gut.
They just want to fuck kids. Let's not overthink this and compare it to sharecroppers in 1920.
Whoa there. Whats with the hostility? The US has become the #1 nation for child sex crimes over the last 20 years. I don't think that's "thirsty old men".
If you want to see who's fuckin the kids, you should probably research which areas have kids popping up with monkeypox.
Maybe teenage behavior has been changing over the decades... you know, like your data shows. 🤷♂️
This is one healthy stream of consciousness here.
Everything mentioned is important for us as a global society to acknowledge needs work.
1. Food is tainted
2. Intimacy is hard to come by
3. Relationships (part of intimacy) are shallow and people are having a harder time creating even shallow relationships
4. Social media and virtual escapism eliminates opportunities for physical relationships (not necessarily sexual but can include sexual) to bloom
Looks like there are quite a bit of things to work on. The best place to start is with yourself.
I'm a father of two children. Ill start with myself, work with my wife to be the best example for my kids and, just maybe, the next generation might have a chance.
