Ditto. I’m just done. I want nothing to do with them anymore on a personal, intimate realm. While that’s not exclusively because of porn programmed sexual behaviors, it’s a huge part of it. I get better sex out of a box of toys the last several years and none of the drama.
I’ve noticed a lot of young, sexually inexperienced women thinking along the same lines. I overheard a young woman about 6 months ago talking to a friend who was near tears over being sex sore saying, "and that’s why after I establish myself I’m getting a catalog baby. So I don’t have to put up with that shit! Hell to the no!!"
It caught my attention because... 'catalog baby’...??? What’s that mean? And then it dawned on me. Her plan is to buy sperm/artificial insemination to build a family and completely bypass any kind of male input (pardon the pun). She’s choosing a life without men from the start, but based upon her comment wording, it’s not because she’s a lesbian. She just thinks it’s not worth the effort and what you get from it will not be equivalent to what you lose or what you *might* gain.
Men will blow that off as yet another bitter woman who was hurt by A man and now blames ALL men. Blah blah blah.
But she was young. Younger than 20. How bitter could she be? And she’s put some thought and planning into it. Plus, this is clearly both a preemptive strategy and a forceful rebuttal of the status quo.
Since then, I’ve been keeping my ear to the ground. I wish I could say I’m surprised by the increasing number of young women who have zero interest in men, romance, or dating. But I’m not.
