Why are Gen Zers such miserable, humorless prudes?

Anti-sex. Anti-drinking. They don't go out. They have zero sex lives. What gives?

I'm a millennial who, in retrospect, came of age during a hideously, grotesquely, pornified era that literally made superstars out of (consensually, or nonconsensually) released sextapes (Paris, Kim K., et al.).

I'm not applauding their attitude, but at the same time, I don't blame them for it, either.

"Sex-positive" has become lingo for "the most competitively depraved, cynical attitude towards human sexuality imaginable."

by Anonymousreply 12September 28, 2024 8:33 PM

Well, there are ways to enjoy life r10, but puritanism never has been and never will be one of them. The whole point of puritanism is to never enjoy life, only to endure it.

Somehow, this may be the set of attitudes needed in a world of diminishing returns, a world with no social contract. People around them are giving up or being pushed out of society because they fell behind or couldn’t buy a house. AI and automation are driving uncertainty and they’re trying to find individuality and meaning in a commoditized global economy. Life will suck for a lot of people in the coming years, and maybe being prudish helps some of them feel more in control of their future.

by Anonymousreply 17September 28, 2024 8:52 PM

Boy. R16 is really doing a lot to dispel the humorless label.

Does anybody else notice that they're extremely defensive and can't handle any criticism? But they sure are the first to criticize everyone else.

When a platonic touch on the shoulder is considered tantamount to a sexual assault, it takes a while to negotiate consent.

They're boring but I'm looking forward to their kids (well the few of them that aren't too afraid of sex and touching enough to eventually get laid) rebelling against them and start slutting and drinking up a storm and enjoying the good life like their grandparents did.

Is that pronoun nonsense slowly dying off? I'd imagine it makes it even harder to communicate. It's easier to ignore everybody and keep your eyes glued to your cell phone.

They're prudes because sex and partying requires interaction with other humans. They only interact with a QR code because it doesn't make them anxious.

r27 Thanks for showing up what an idiot you are

[quote]one in four Gen Zers (anyone born between 1997 and 2012) have never engaged in partnered sex

Meaning 75% - the overwhelming majority - have. And yet, with the complete lack of logic we've come to expect from boomers, you declare the minority applies to the entire generation.

Your link also doesn't provide any comparison to the stats for other generations. And this is all based on a sample size of 2000, done for a sex toy company, via an online poll. In other words, absolute statistical garbage.

But hey, it gives boomers another ragebait way to whine about young people. Of course, they then try to avoid explaining why they're so interested in the sex lives of people decades younger than they are.

I believe it's a combination of isolation, lack of sense of community or connectedness while simultaneously always being virtually connected to get bombarded with constant critique, making them neurotic messes who are also either: homeschooled with faux-education, or are familiar with and used to active shooter drills. In addition to typically having parents who are not trying to be parents, but friends, while bulldozing obstacles out of their way, (sounds good, but it reiterates their feeling of inadequacy).

Being young today sucks.

I see a lot of blankness, humorlessness. And a strange bent toward watching others like a hawk: spying, tattling and ostracizing. As if the way to get ahead in life is cancelling others. They will never, EVER help you or do a favor.

And they somehow think their youth is currency. When they just waste it staring into a screen anyway.

It was not at all unusual in the past few generations for some teenagers to be sexually active at the age of 13 or 14 (and not just in Appalachia).

This wasn't witty, compelling, or cute the thousandth time we did this, but I guess people who are bitter about aging can't help themselves.

Personally, I'm just glad the kids aren't dying of AIDS much anymore so they can annoy the shit out of us. They're far better than a lot of you abusive, repetitive, intellectually lazy assholes who forget what a fucking privilege it is for us to grow old.
