  Sure but I’d argue if both parties are going in openly with that intention that is a type of connection on its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a fact checker⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Strongly disagree. I’ve met far too many young men that see sex as a means to an often self serving end. Sex is a means of expressing love towards another person, it’s not meant for self gratification. Seeing it that way is a recipe to have a lot of meaningless sex only to be left wondering why you feel so empty.

  Theres a reason women generally don’t climax from being jackhammered or even from clitoral stimualtion if they’re in any way uncomfortable. They’re coded for that emotional connection as a prerequisite for good sex. We are coded that way too but modern culture has painted that type of vulnerability as “unmanly”.

  In my view, a good emotional connection creates the necessary conditions for good sex. But you don’t need good sex to have a strong emotional connection.

  With modern contraceptive technology we can have sex thats completely meaningless, where both parties are trying to achieve a deeper connection (to something, not even necessarily to each other) and misguidedly hope it can be achieved through a simple release.

  Exactly what I interpreted from this too. Posting a bunch of stats on sex and marriage as if they’re a remedy for loneliness ignores the fact that people absolutely can feel lonely while having both.

  Men do absolutely need to be better with each other but women do perpetuate this also.

  The modern concept of masculinity is completely broken. Long ago it used to be about being a protector, now it’s about anger, dominance, power, emotional dysregulation, resource hoarding (most of which provide little benefit to society at large).

  There are no bacteria in your eye. These perceptual disturbances are retinal in origin.

  She means died for this country in the Nazi imperialist Christian way, not as a * filthy colored victims in one of those shithole countries.

  Sure but in this case there are numerous gun related phrases that have persisted in American culture because of this particular affinity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"ok, imagine a gun."⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, thats part of the why but it’s still odd culturally from the perspective of the rest of the world especially since what you’re describing occurred 100+ years ago and the terminology has likely only persusted because of the US’ gun obsession.

  Its a good yoke but coming at a South Asian person for the anglicized spelling of a South Asian word is the sugar syrup on the Gulab Jamun.

  You can’t even whisper criticism of capitalism / the free market or you will be labeled a filthy commie.

  Try saying that the Western world has set humanity on a path towards extinction by industrializing without a meaningful thought towards sustainability and youll b) get a response of BUT CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA (maybe a little India) BUT CHINA by people who are considered well educated and well regarded there. Its the NYT, Washington Post aka American mainstream media brainrot, it’s quite rampant.
