this "Summer Without Sex" article's focus on celibacy as a path to wellness/happiness and means to fight the patriarchy reads as... misguided??? 1. article conveniently forgets the female-sexual-empowerment-as-a-means-to-fight-the-patriarchy movement 2. which (along with traditional gender norms and the desire to fit in with peers) influences women to have unwanted, consensual sex 3. unwanted, consensual sex is associated with lower happiness (for both men and women) 4. meanwhile, it is well established that people who have more sex and better quality sex are happier 5. strongest moderator of sex quality is relationship closeness and the happiness maximizing # of sexual partners is 1 6. therefore women optimizing for happiness should not necessarily aspire for a summer without sex, but instead for a summer without unwanted sex OR with sex with the right person idk what the patriarchy has to do with it https://www.thecut.com/article/women-celibate-dating-sex.html

One interesting trend that I think it may be overlooked is that 1 or 2 generations down the road, the sexual revolution may have actually decreased the amount of sex that people are having. The numbers are pretty clear if you look at countries like Japan, and Korea or Gen Z

I don’t think I’ve ever been to this site but they decided I reached my limit of monthly free reads and can’t read it. That annoys me to no end.

Super interesting read. (your cast, not the article — which I don’t really wanna read)

this article mentions patriarchal factors as one of many reasons for celibacy, and is pretty clear on why? also the leap from sex positivity being empowering to unwanted sex is a large one

Yeah I’ll be taking the opposite approach this summer — and still doing the work to diminish the patriarchy. (A lil lost on that connection as well)
