People who were not there in the 90s get it very wrong about what was different then. It’s not just that we were having more sex then (we were). It’s that the whole approach to everything around sex, eroticism and intimacy was completely different then. And, again, that is what people miss, this crucial constellation of facts: Back then, we all treated sex as something that was just part of life. It wasn’t some scary partitioned-off bit of the wold; it was considered completely natural for women to be attracted to men and vice versa, and to express that in various ways. Nothing about it was perceived in any way as bad, unusual, or even awkward.

This makes for an utterly different life and far better (and happier!) gender relations. A man was not considered evil then for finding someone attractive. And two people were not punished by their own friends if they liked each other enough to have sex. It was just assumed as a thing that happened, that humans like each other and express it physically. It was seen more like breathing or eating food than what it’s seen as now, which is something that only strange and flawed people do.

Gen Z’s neo-morality is horrid, horrifying, and anti-human.
