Why is internet culture so anti-sex these days?

[darklordoftech]

Where are the horny men? How did the internet go from being more pro-sex than the offline world to being more anti-sex than the offline world?

Hey there

A lot of it is censorship. Sexual content is banned on virtually all platforms. So the pro-sex people migrated offline or to walled-off communities like Onlyfans.

A lot of it is censorship. Sexual content is banned on virtually all platforms. So the pro-sex people migrated offline or to walled-off communities like Onlyfans.

The four most used social media platforms in the US are Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, and Twitter. All are in the top ten most used websites. Two of those sites, Twitter and Reddit, are brimming with pornography and sexual content. Every single post on Twitter has some bot spamming “P U S S Y I N B I O” on it, and I’m supposed to believe sex is banned on virtually all platforms?

Sometimes I feel like half the posters on this site are living in a different universe from the rest of the country.

Yeah this is a laughable take.

And the OP is based on a false premise.

Paranoia and conspiracy-mongering is a big part of it. Lies about "the porn industry" and fake statistics about human trafficking have gone mainstream in both liberal and conservative circles. I even bought into some of that crap when I first heard about it because it didn't seem like something people would lie about, but most of it is fake news fueling this moral panic. A lot of men online also seem to blame pornography and even just racy artistic media for their problems with women now, so that insecurity probably has something to do with the backlash too.

2010s feminism and MeToo culture pushed a lot of sexual content out of movies and other media. Look at all the fake outrage over Oppenheimer's 10 seconds of nudity, for example. But then again Poor Things was nothing but a weird fetish porno and people liked that, and Oppenheimer won Best Picture and made a ton of money so maybe we're getting past the prudishness.

Regardless, men are men and they like sex and that's never going to change so this cultural phenomenon is completely unsustainable. That's why there hasn't been any actual decrease in the amount of sexual content online and there never will be.


EDIT: I should add that there absolutely have been some positive changes that came along with the shift in internet culture. For example, men can't as easily get away with the kinds of disgusting sexual comments and "jokes" that they used to make all the time back in old forums.

According to Google, the internet is not running out of men looking up naked women.

Yes, she does nudes. Even my Weathergirl in Perth did nudes.

That was a busy hour in Google learning how to change the safe settings

The people having sex are all busy offline getting laid.

[Del Tachi]

There is no shortage of sex on the Internet.

 Internet porn got too degenerate, it's a backlash to the degeneracy.

I hope people have a platform to push back against the anti-sex stuff.

What offline places did they migrate to? Would it be possible for a pro-sex movement to happen in the future or would the lack of a platform to get their message out prevent it?

Mix of liberals embracing narratives that only conservatives did, regarding talk about sex being “perverted” because men are evil if they think about it + Younger generations having less sex and being bored by it + society general overexposure generating a natural counter-reaction where sex isn’t seen as liberating anymore, but shallow and unnecessary.

People still have an interest about it, they always will, but it’s not a big deal like it was once. Whoever wants it can consume easy porn online or even easy sex irl (especially if they’re gay men because of those sex apps), so they will do it silently as a routine thing.

There are lot of specific pages in social media for that as well.
