Digital Sex Is Making Millenials Fuck Themselves

Long gone are the #booty calls in the middle of the night. Yes, sneaking out of your bedroom window and meeting your real, human lover and having an orgasmic experience at a four star motel with a rotating heart-shaped bed. Mind you, there were generations that would actually hold a sexual moaning chorale behind a seventeenth century church, during lunch. Speaking of church, surprisingly, #Millenials are having less sex than any generation in the past 60 years, making them look like rebelled nuns and priests, obeying their abstinence vows- only to break them behind a webcam. Born in the 1990’s? Seems that even #GenXers- those over 40- are getting stitched like an industrial sewing machine more than their younger rivals are. In fact, baby boomers- now over 60- are enjoying their golden age blooming their tender flesh, legs wide open.

Head-scratching, isn’t it? In the era of digital age, the possibilities of getting a #bootytext are greater; at least one may think. In reality, or virtual reality to be precise, millenials prefer to watch youtube videos and make money online. What’s sexier than staying on top of the stock market while watching porn and jacking off in the comfort of your dark room, especially when you live alone and your parents can’t walk in on you? Not really. Multitasking may be very risky. Unsafe sex may be deadly. Fucking an avatar- or yourself- may sound like the best compromise, except is not. 

Online life can’t be the only reason young humanoids won’t use their charm to seduce another flesh-and-blood specimen called ‘person.’ As writer Melissa Batchelor Warnke explains for the LA Times: “The proffered reasons for millennial abstinence? A culture of overwork and an obsession with career status, a fear of becoming emotionally involved and losing control, an online-dating milieu that privileges physical appearance above all, anxieties surrounding consent, and an uptick in the use of libido-busting antidepressants.“ Translation: #millenials are overworked and underpaid, scared of commitment, somewhat superficial, conscious of rape culture and overly medicated. Are you surprised that apps like Tinder, Grindr, and Ashley Madison have thrived? Mind you, these apps are built for users to actually wear and flush a couple condoms with a partner. And let’s not forget about Plenty of Fish and Ok Cupid, online dating sites for desperately horny, yet vulnerable #Sexloggers who’d enjoy casual sex with a webcam projecting their tatas. Problem is, if this trend continues, the world’s population may decline rather quickly. 

Like Tara Bahrampour states for The Washington Post: “So has sex declined because people are not meeting in person? Perhaps in part. But online life can also affect offline life in more subtle ways, especially when potential mates can disappear forever with the swipe of a thumb.” The fingering is used for the digital age, and not for our own pleasure; at least not on another human. Bottom line, digital sex have made it more exciting to simultaneously tap keyboards and private parts solo, instead of going al natural while enjoying a sunset. #GenZers, the world relies on you to break this horrid curse. Get off your butt and take that #bootyccall, away from the computer or mobile screen; worst case scenario your webcam. Fucking yourself won’t create any bloodline heirs to the fortune you’re trying to amass, while on libido killing meds.
