Things that men and women do, sometimes to each other
Okay, go ahead and judge me, but I howled with shocked laughter when I read this little tale:
For months my boyfriend led me to believe he was busy caring for his elderly mother – but she’s been dead all along and his lies were a front for him having sex with another woman, and living with her.
Sometimes, you just have to tip your hat to a master.
They all, without exception, look like washed-up whores with thousand-cock stares — and that’s after all the Instagram filters have been applied.
And I don’t know which 2,000 men they surveyed, but judging from the output I’m guessing that WASPs were not highly represented in the sample.
If this is the belle ideal (so to speak) of choices available to young men these days, it’s small wonder that the birth rate is dropping and men are going their own way, sometimes to foreign countries to find a suitable mate.
I wouldn’t touch any of them, not even with Bill Clinton’s dick.
Saw this SOTI:
I have to say that I am a man of, shall we say some extensive experience in les affaires sexuelle.
But WTF are “Eagle” and “Pretzel”?
And frankly, I don’t think I want to know what’s in “Other”…
Following on from the above post: I can see why someone at age 86 might not be interested in sex… but youngins?
A new poll found that Gen Z isn’t very interested in steamy sex scenes in their entertainment.
The survey of 1,500 respondents was conducted by researchers at UCLA. It found that almost half of Gen Zers aged 13 to 24 (47.5%) said sex “isn’t needed” for most TV shows and movies. A significant amount (44%) also said romance is “overused” as a plot device.
So what do they want instead? A majority of the respondents (51.5%) say they would like to see more stories about platonic friendship.
I can see why this is, though. Back in the day soon after the wheel was invented (i.e. when I was at the age of the Gen Z group), if you wanted to see sex, you’d have to watch movies where a couple would kiss and the scene would cut to the next morning, showing them fully dressed and having coffee.
Or you could read a Jilly Cooper novel.
Nowadays, of course, PornHub or xHamster are but a mouse-click away for anyone to watch not just a single sex scene, but dozens upon dozens, until you are heartily sick of the whole thing. (Or so I’m told.)
Under those circumstances, I can quite see why Gen Z doesn’t care about sex scenes in movies, and would prefer to see movies about platonic relationships. They can have video sex anytime they want; what they can’t get on any Internet channel is how to handle a friendship.
But platonic relationships? That’s almost as bad as “Young mother, who has just lost her only child to a terrible illness / car accident, goes back to her home town to rebuild her soured relationship with her aging father.” Great Caesar’s bleeding eyeballs, that’s enough to make me venture over to yet another true-crime show on Discovery+. Kill me now.
On the other hand, though, I have to defer to the late and brilliant novelist Alistair MacLean, none of whose popular novels had so much as a passionate grope in the story, let alone a full-ahead bonking. MacLean put it quite simply: “Sex scenes slow the story down.” And he was quite right, of course, and the same is true for the movies.
Anyway, most sex scenes in movies are soft-core thrustings, which I’ve always found somewhat insulting. And the ones that are “courageous” [/pretentious movie critic] end up being horribly depressing, as though the director can’t get himself/herself to show sex as being actual fun, or loving.
And it’s still true that doing an explicit sex scene most often spells the end of the actor’s career (anyone seen a decent movie with Chloë Sevigny since Brown Bunny was released?), so the best one can hope for is some wannabe / usetabe actor doing the dirty.
And who cares about that? Not I and, it definitely seems, not Gen Z.
Back when I was still on the dating scene (shortly after someone discovered fire), I was thankfully spared the prospect of my date behaving badly by being glued to her cell phone during the meal. (Back then, I didn’t even have a landline phone because the phone company — in South Africa, the Post Office — had a three-month backlog on new home phone installations.)
However, that was then and this is now. Here’s what one guy did when faced with such a situation:
A man has caused a debate after admitting to walking out on a date without paying his portion of an $80 bill because his potential love interest was ‘constantly on her phone’. The man, who is from a major US city, revealed he met up with the woman after matching on a dating app. The pair hit it off and decided to meet in person.
The man was quick to brand the woman as a ‘vapid moral monstrosity’ who had the ‘attention span of a gnat’, after she spent a whole five minutes ferociously texting as they waited for their food.
When they finally began to chat she was quick to, yet again, start answering her ‘buzzing’ phone . The man attempted to make a few hints to his date about her antisocial behavior by joking and even saying he would throw the phone out of the window if it continued. However, his incessant hints fell on deaf ears as her eyes continued to be glued to her phone screen.
An appetizer and two drinks later, the man realized he was miserable and there was no possible way to turn this date around. He headed to the toilet, promising himself that if her eyes were still locked on her phone screen, then he would be making a swift exit out of the door.
When he came out to find her eyes fixed fixed on the screen, he validated that promise by quickly leaving. He detailed: “I looked the other way and there was a service door open behind the kitchen. I turned right instead of left and exited into the sweet, sweet air of freedom.”
And here’s the kicker:
It was only 30 minutes after he had left that the date even realized his absence, texting him: “Did you leave?”
Good for him. I’m even glad that she got stuck with the tab, because having such appalling manners deserves to be punished.
I don’t even know why there would be a “debate” on the topic.
I would have posted a link, but the article is slammed behind a paywall. Still, we have ways…

There are not many upsides to growing older, but surely the freedom from 80-something sex addicts on pills is one of them
Then follows a whole bunch of words, basically going wah wah wah men are pigs, even old ones. My take: shut the fuck up and leave us alone, you foul harpy. (I should point out that said harpy was once extramaritally bonked by Boris Johnson…) Read the rest, if you want.
