According to Stephen Colbert on THE LATE SHOW last night, 1/3 of american men and 1/5 of american women reported not having had sex in the past year. I'm assuming this is true and that by having sex they mean having it with a partner, not masturbating. This rings true with my own experience. It's been at least a decade since i had partner sex, and from what i see of American life, virtually no one who isn't married or in a (supposedly) monogamous relationship is getting any either. I think this is because American culture despite all claims to the contrary remains extremely puritanical, obsessed with imposing 'purity' on it's youth ('age of consent' laws make this clear, which are routinely justified by the bogus 'scientific' claim (see link below) that teens are too immature to make 'adult' decisions, and with further greatly restricting the sexual freedom of 'adults' with things like the total prohibition and demonization of prostitution.
It's also obvious that the establishment and lamestream culture are obsessed with vilifying 'pedos' like Jeffrey Epstein who have the balls to admit (as i also do) to a preference for young women, the younger the better, down to the age of puberty, which is when they become capable of reproduction, which is also the time in non-human animals when they are deemed to be adults, no longer juveniles. Every day in the local news amongst the police reports of 'criminality' (which dominate American 'news') are reports of locals arrested for such 'crimes' as possessing 'child pornography' (which may just be having nude pictures or videos of 'underage' teens) or solicitation of 'underage' 'children'.
As i've written before, from a scientific or rational pov it only makes perfect sense for men to be attracted as 'perverts' such as i admit to to being most attracted to teenagers, because they are most attractive then before aging (which starts at puberty) begins to erode their natural beauty and also decreases their natural fertility. There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that this is as nature intended, for we are programmed to reproduce as soon as possible and when the prospect of doing so is greatest, rather than waiting several years until some arbitrarily determined age at which one supposedly finally becomes an 'adult' and is deemed mature enough to actually be able to 'consent' to sexual activity. Of course i've long believed that the actual intent of such laws and such attitudes is to simply greatly inhibit our natural desires, deeming them as inherently 'immoral' and utterly beyond the pale. And why is this done? Why, it's to make us all feel ashamed of our human nature, our animal nature, and also extremely fearful of the legal punishment and social punishment we will face should our 'perversion' come to light and be exposed for all the world to see and to vilify, as has been done posthumously to Epstein and all the other 'perverts' associated with him.
This is all sheer insanity in my view, a view which seems to be extremely rare, although i'm inclined to believe it's much more common than we're allowed to be aware of, thanks as always to the ubiquitousness of extreme puritanical repression in America. America, a nation which should be if it isn't already notorious for it's hypocrisy, it's very high tolerance of or embrace of (often state sponsored) violence, such as police brutality, mass shootings, and employment of it's bloated military to kill or terrorize millions of sheeple outside the U.S. who have the great misfortune to live in countries deemed to be 'enemies' by the utterly corrupt capitalistic American establishment, which is hell bent on maintaining extreme economic inequality at home and spreading this contagion abroad, especially engaging in economic warfare on socialist countries, especially those which have valuable resources such as fossil fuels which greedy American corporations seek access to.
So basically what we have is a culture which condones limitless degrees of state sponsored violence and oppression both at home and throughout the world, while also doing everything it can to vilify eroticism and drive it underground, or in other words, supporting 'sextinction', which is what the humorist colbert on THE LATE SHOW labelled this statistical paucity of sexual activity currently in America.
This would be funny if it wasn't so awful. At least it is to me, living in such a society, which in my view is worthy of the label 'perverted' by such repression, violence, and hypocrisy.
I've also long contended in my writing that if humans truly care about living in a more peaceful world, instead of vilifying and criminalizing consensual erotic behavior, we ought to be encouraging it. We ought to be more like our close biological relatives the bonobo chimps, whose notoriously promiscuous sexuality is believed to facilitate their also notorious (perhaps i should say famous, since that phrase, unlike 'notoriety', conveys no negative stigma) way of living in societies characterized by great cooperation, and virtually no violence amongst themselves. It is thought, quite logically, that by having frequent sexual pleasure and release, they're too satisfied and happy with their lives to feel motivated to fight with one another. Again, sex is well known for inducing mellowness, and mellow beings aren't inclined to fight with one another. only sexually deprived and frustrated beings are so inclined.
I don't know what to do. A part of me thinks i should try to move abroad hopefully to a culture more conducive to erotic freedom and less conducive to violence. Another part of me thinks sheeple are sheeple no matter where they are, and by fleeing America i may simply be trading one devil (the one i know) for another (an unfamiliar one).
Ultimately, i blame god for this conundrum. A decent god if such existed would never have created such a perverse world such as this one, or a perverse species such as ours, wherein the most powerful nation on the planet seems hell bent on endlessly and mercilessly vilifying, punishing, and repressing human sexuality, which of course is in sync with it's passion to create a world in which all violence including the ultimate expression, genocide, flourishes, all so that a culture of extreme inequality and injustice may not only be maintained, but propagated everywhere. This is how i see the world, but as stated above, it's an extremely unpopular view, at least to the extent that anyone has the temerity to admit to it.
