I’ll pass… I grew up learning about sex from Hustler and Penthouse letters

We pieced together the facts from our older brothers, USA Up All Night, National Geographic, scrambled porn and a March 1976 copy of Oui magazine.
As all American boys should.

You can’t rub stupidity into the faces of those with ZERO self awareness…
I learned from porn-cassette-trading circle nearly every Gen Xer partook in. 
In all seriousness here is the description.
–Stephen Baskerville’s new work is essential to understanding the impact of the new sexual ideology not only on the family and other social institutions, but also on the machinery of government, the criminal justice system, and the global political environment.
You forgot shit movies on Cinemax after dark and sex coms like Porky’s, Hardbodies, Revenge of the Nerds, Spring Break, Police Academy, One of the Guys, and so forth.
It just seems very self demeaning. Like, if I took a political stance and found it un fulfilled, then started broadcasting to anybody that would listen, particularly women- that I was Officially Off Limits! I would expect them to treat me like a clown. A wierd, creepy clown with an overblown sense of importance.
Cuz thats pretty much what it looks like from here.

I went to a barber named “Shorty” that wore a toupee and was a total pervert. I used to steal his smut mags out of the back of his shop. I stashed them in the drop ceiling in my childhood home.

Our parents only had the dreaded basic cable so we could only catch fleeting glimpses of nipples from the scrambled skinemax channels. Sometimes you could get audio, if you were lucky.
I wonder if we’ll see any federal action on pornography accessibility to children. I’m glad I was not mainlined full of hardcore pornography when I was a boy. I’m not sure how that’s even preventable nowadays, but it will be interesting to see how it might play out.
It’s the same old old Larry Flint conundrum, but with glowing high definition rectangles hooked up to the internet in every kid’s pocket. You can see more naked women in an hour than a sex fiend king would in his entire lifetime 200 years ago.

Why the anti-Trump ‘sex strike’ is great news for men
Young, single, Left-wing women across the US are so angry about the result of the election, they’ve embarked on a “sex strike”. That is: they’ve turned celibate, in order to punish men for Donald Trump’s win.
“For the next four years, I am going to abstain from sex with men,” declared one young woman on Tiktok.
“All I have to say [to men] is: ‘Good luck getting laid’,” sniffed another.
“Hope you thought that through, you guys,” jeered a third.
On the face of it, this may sound like bad news for the young men of America. Personally, though, I think they should applaud the strike, and urge its participants to keep going.
This is because any young woman who responds in such a comically petulant manner to the result of a democratic election is clearly an insufferable, spoilt, whiny, immature, narcissistic, attention-seeking, pathologically self-righteous brat. Thanks to the sex strike, therefore, young American men will be spared the tedium of going on a date with someone so mind-bendingly tiresome. Instead, their country’s dating pool will now consist exclusively of women who are sane, and who realise that there is no more unattractive a trait, in either sex, than an all-consuming fixation with politics.
That, however, is not the only reason why young male Trump voters should welcome the strike. There’s another. Because, if the sex strike lasts long enough, these Left-wing women will never reproduce.
Which means that, in future, there will be fewer Left-wing voters, and more conservative victories.

At age 44 it dramatically simplifies my admittedly casual dating life whenever women just run their red flags right up the flagpole for me to see, especially if it is the kind of red flag I’m looking for.
If a hysterical woman who believes all kinds of things that aren’t true wants to lie to herself even more and pretend she doesn’t want the D, that’s her problem, not mine.
By all means, continue filming yourselves having meltdowns and broadcasting your unwell state to the rest of the world. It’s a real time-saver.

I consider you lucky and better off. I suspect the brain of a former close “friend” is rotted l partly from early, regular exposure to hardcore porn.
Well it never translated to a lifelong marriage for me, but there are a lot of reasons for that outcome that have nothing to do with how much (or little, depending on your perspective) porn I had access to as a kid.
We kept pretty strict parental controls on our internet and didn’t let our kid own games like GTA5 (although I did, unbeknownst to him!). He’s never been into much gaming besides sports games and fortnite with the boys occasionally. But he had lots of friends with no such limits on their devices and we were not about to begin attempting to somehow shield him from that.
He went on a real tear with sex when he was a teenager. He is, ahem, gifted and also quite attractive to most women. I’m not sure how I would have handled all of the sexting and stuff if I had women (and girls when he was in HS) just throwing themselves at me.
I did turn down easy girls on multiple occasions during my childhood, but it also wasn’t an opportunity that presented itself to me on a daily basis, sometimes from several girls at once.
He’s reigned it in a lot, but it’s not like the temptation isn’t always there. He could certainly use a stable girlfriend in his life.

It hasn’t been better for conservative women. Now, don’t the conservative women believe that competition for quality men is just cut in half.
It seems as though the liberal women failed to consider any adverse consequences of their knee-jerk reaction.
What do you mean?
I don’t think 4B women were ever interested in conservative men. And I use conservative synonymously with decent, civic-minded, fatherhood-interested, or restrained here. I think it’s fine all others, male, and female, will remove themselves from the market as they have a knack for pissing and shitting all over it, and demanding the rest clean up after them, including by way of slave labor.
yeah, I thought the author was implying that tax cuts are neither inflationary nor deflationary because spending is the same - but it’s not
This is one of those inches that if its given seems to lead to miles
Inflation is an increase in the supply of money that causes higher prices
That’s a noun. Inflation, an actual thing
If people confuse inflation with an adjective - and things can be inflationary, the natural thing would be to label all kinds of things as inflationary that are actually not inflation
It opens up a world of confusion
If I was to step into that world of confusion, the most logical thing to do would seem to be to agree that tax cuts are inflationary, even though they are definitely not inflation
Right
There’s lots of ways to go about optimizing systems depending on which resources are most valued by the optimizer(s)
Culturally saying we are not going to do that - that’s not the governments job, would be a good idea. That’s many inches from where “we” are at tho
On the issue of tariffs, iirc, it causes a new price and new quantity sold
We could compare the shift and find a “dead weight loss” which is basically all the trade (and presumably “marginal benefit”) that we sacrificed
But that might be the deadweight loss China experiences - if “we” opened new factories in other countries, doesn’t have to mean “we” experience it at all
Or if factories do reopen in America, there would be a new marginal benefit to compare against China’s “deadweight loss”. And the full marginal benefit of that could be immeasurable
(but I would still prefer trying to measure it)
I suppose society has past me by. All through my 20’s and 30’s I couldn’t begin to tell you the political slant of any of the women I enjoyed sex. I didn’t ask, and neither did she. We just enjoyed one another in the pleasure we shared.
Are you saying that women today screen men by the political slant? I screened women by their physical appearance and general conversation ease. I had the feeling that women did likewise.
It is no surprise that our youth keeps their nose in social media, though it most likely builds the walls that separate the sexes higher.
Are you saying that idle, initial conversation has changed from the weather to politics?
I think this may have won this whole thread!
In some cases yes, though not for me because I am a married Xennial.
I was trying figure out how conservative women lose by 4B women actually doing the 4 B’s. What did you mean?
This was true for my 20’s and 30’s and still my 40’s depending on the gal. The woman I spent 9 years with and I barely discussed politics when we were together, ever. I don’t even think it came up until the 2008 election and we both voted Obama after being together for years.
We do speak about it quite a bit today, as the town has gone to shit in the meantime and continues its trajectory. Plus she works with woke and deals with a lot of frustration.
I do not consider politics or religion to be casual first date stuff at all, even today. Same with my hobby of firearms. And my history hobby. I suppose you could accuse me of trying to fool these poor women, but there is a ton of topics that can be discussed outside of contentious issues.
