PROBLEMS in DISCOURSE of SEX

No such thing as man, woman, just people (unigender, gender vertigo)

Language male POV: penetration, not engulfment

Studies only of college students, mainly in North America

TRENDS IN HOOKUPS

Decline in vaginal, increase in oral, anal: influence of porn

Desexing of oral sex (“not sex”)

Compulsive sexting on the rise, strongly associated with dark triad traits

Increase in distress, depression, anxiety: few want to hookup (they prefer relationships), but everyone pressured to do so as bon ton and cool

Hookups typically with extreme substance abuse intended to disinhibit

Double standard prevails

GENERAL TRENDS

Decline in relationship formation (incl. FWB), marriage

Moreover, as number of sex partners increased, marital thoughts decreased, for both sexes (Townsend and Wasserman, 2011).

Sexlessness/celibacy increasing 

Alcohol consumption decreasing

Sexting and other normative as form of LDR and substitute for casual sex with strangers

Explosive New Patterns of Sexually Transmitted Infection
