Back in a day, quite some time ago, I started screwing around when I was 16. Most of the parents were quite conservative so they didn't allow kids to do it at their places where we, kids, lived, at least not to their knowledge. But we used every occasion to do it while they were at work. Or at birthdays and other home parties. In parks. At the graveyards. On roofs. In basements. Any place where we could get half an hour without people passing by.
I think I never had as much sex as when I didn't have my own apartment. The decline started after I finally got it, in my late twenties :)
So while I understand that not having your own place or financial stability can affect people's will to start a family, I tink it's too early to start to worry about it before at least late twenties. Until then, if people don't screw around on a daily, or at least best-effort basis, something is screwed with their chemistry.
- inamberclad 6y agoThat's the thing, you're talking about 'back in your day', but this article suggests a major demographic shift.
- watwut 6y agoThe thing that primary predicts less teenage sex is sexual education. Which is better then used to be. The conservativism of parents where you lived likely contributed to kids having sax in the park hoping nobody will arrest them and charge them with public sex. And honestly, I never witnessed what you described here and I am kinda happy I did not.
- pacija 6y agoDid I understand your point correctly, that you think that having less teen sex is a good thing? Also that it is ok to ruin young people's lives for having sex outside of apartments or hotel rooms?
- watwut 6y agoGiven that teenage pregnancies are also down and so are std and so is drug taking, yes. And given how much of effort was put into making teenagers have less sex and use dammit condom, yes. Because side effect of that period were teenage pregnancies that had quite destructive effects for the rest of those kids lives. And side effect of sexual education are safer sex practices. On the second point, that is actual risk involved. I would not made those laws, but I can't change them. Third thought, it is also not comfortable to lie in park without things like blanked under your body with guy focused on finishing as fast as possible. I don't know how to tell it differently, but in average case the girl won't have that much fun in those quick minutes as guy who has fun until he finished. Which means less drinking and drug taking must be factor in drop of those encounters too, because one of partners would be more likely to refuse the activity.
- s5300 6y agoIn the U.S., if you're caught having sex in public, it's completely legal (and seemingly usually practiced) to put you on a publicly visible sex offender list that really kinda fucks up every aspect of your entire life, for life. Just a thought.
