The Coming Wave of Sex Negativity.

This was written in 2021, so the sex-negative trend had already been firmly in place by that time. But she is still correct. And she (as I do) thinks it’s going to get worse. Much, much worse.

If there’s one drum I’ve been beating for a minute now, it’s that I believe the pendulum with sexuality is going to swing, big time. And seriously, if you guys remember me for anything, have it be this.

Mark my words: Next financial crisis, we’re diving headlong into something that’s been simmering in the background since 2013-2014… sex negativity.

Younger millennials and Gen Z are already extremely sex-negative, even a lot of the men and boys. I also think she’s gotten closer to the core of the real problem with this than anyone else; I’ve been having similar thoughts.

This will be as much a rebellion against the pod as it is anything else. People do not want to be atomized. They do not want to be neutered. Sex dolls are unsustainable. Nobody wants this dystopia. It WILL be painted as anti-tech but it is not necessarily “about” tech. THIS IS THE REAL CULTURE WAR.

I disagree with her about sex work and that her overall tone suggests that, like many women, she sees women as just larger children a bit but I believe she’s got the gist of what is happening and what is about to happen.

The only good part of this mess is that I expect tattoos to get much, much less popular as a result. That won’t make up for this insanity, but even the worst things have some benefits.
