Is it Time for Men to Have a Right to Sex?

www.culturcidal.com

Can you imagine what an actual “right to sex” for men would look like? At first, most women would probably remain in hiding, while the wealthiest women would travel via an underground, female-only tunnel system that would only be built because a bunch of women had sex with men to convince them to build it. Every time a woman walked outside before she got 5 feet, it would be like that famous ending scene of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and then hordes of guys would come running over:

My guess is that eventually, it would all descend into war as men killed each other in the streets over access to women and we’d end up with something akin to an old-school tribal system where everyone would mind their manners around women mainly because the women’s male relatives would kill them/make them marry them if they did anything otherwise. After all, that’s kind of how it played out back in the “might makes right” tribal days of humanity and our species is just as cruel as ever, even if we like to display it on Twitter instead of with swords or clubs.

In any case, this is relevant because of some attention-grabbing tweets from someone named Alexandra Hunt who is running for Congress in Philadelphia:

Young men aren’t having sex! Nearly a third of men under 30 have not had sex. And a higher percent do not have as much sex as they’d like – not exactly surprising, but this kind of statistic is a sign of much deeper problems.

  • Note that 28% figure is not for virgins, it’s for men who haven’t had sex in the last year.

Our society criminalizes sex & sweeps it under the rug. The consequences are straightforward - there is more violence. Since platforms like Craigslist were banned from advertising sex, serious violent crimes against all women – not just sex workers – has increased by nearly 1/5.

The #MeToo movement accomplished so much, & we have to take the next step – normalizing having healthy, positive, consensual sex. Decriminalizing sex work, funding sex education, & creating outreach programs that help young people develop healthy sexual habits.

We should be moving toward a right to sex. People should be able to have sex when they feel they want to, and we need to develop services that meet people’s needs without attaching the baggage of shame or criminalization.  So let’s talk about sex.

We need to bring these discussions to the spotlight. Normalizing healthy positive sex will have too many downstream benefits to list – we need to move past our history of shame. It’s time to bring sex into the light.

Although as a general rule, I don’t bother responding to people with personal pronouns in their bios, this seemed to be a case worth making an exception. First of all, we must note that because liberals on Twitter are extraordinarily moronic, even for liberals, Hunt had to spend multiple tweets after this explaining that she really wasn’t advocating the idea that men should be able to grab women of their choice and force them to have sex, like the scenario we discussed at the beginning.

She didn’t say exactly how the “right to sex” should work, but it sounded like she was angling towards legalizing prostitution along with government-funded propaganda designed to teach everyone how healthy and wonderful it is to pay some woman to let you be the 11th guy of the day that she allows to pay her for oral sex.

Of course, getting the government involved is a bad idea in almost every situation imaginable and this one is no different. After all, at least to an extent, we already have the government involved in issues related to sex and they’re encouraging men to go in women’s bathrooms, promoting drag queens, and trying to convince every child in America that they’re either gay or trans. At this point, it’s almost a surprise that the public schools aren’t taking third graders on field trips to watch orgies and then gaslighting everyone by pretending to be puzzled that parents are accusing them of grooming afterward.

As for legalizing prostitution, it would almost certainly be a horrible idea, just like legalizing drugs. Throughout history, it’s one of those things that comes and goes in waves. It comes because men want easy access to sex, but it ends up going over the long haul because of all the things that end up going with it like crime, drugs, human trafficking, slavery, and STIs. If prostitution were suddenly legal everywhere in the United States, would it be different here? No. Like communism, it’s “this time it’s going to be different,” but it’s never really different… well, that’s not entirely true. After all, Americans have become experts these days at blurring the lines between sex work, social media, and dating. How much of a difference is there between prostitution and porn? Being a cam girl? OnlyFans? Phone sex? Seedy massage parlors? Working in a strip club? Being a sugar baby? How about this:

Some people might say, “How does that fit in?” but Kim Kardashian gets paid more than 800k for product placements on an Instagram that literally features posts of her showing her @ss to the world. Most people don’t look at it this way, but in reality, all these activities are on the same continuum.

That highlights an important point that most people aren’t considering. That being, in many respects, this is one of the most sex-drenched countries in world history. You can look at pornography on your phone when you get up, see scantily clad women in the TV commercials for the morning news, see college-age girls dressed like prostitutes at the mall, come home and peruse more porn or pay to see more women naked via a variety of methods, and then settle in to watch a little TV, which will probably feature characters having sex or talking about it before you drift off to sleep and do it again. Sex is everywhere in our culture, so how is it that so many young men in their prime aren’t actually able to have sex?

There is an answer to this question, and it has to do with the increasingly broken nature of relationships in America today. I’ve written about this in detail, but here’s the short version. Less than a hundred years ago, marriage was essentially an unspoken deal that looked something like this:

The man was expected to take care of his wife and children financially and lead the household. In return, he regularly received sex, was treated as the king of the castle, and he had a woman who was expected to do the cooking, the cleaning and take care of the children.

This arrangement worked for a long time, but the world changed in a way that made the old, unspoken deal mostly irrelevant:

A) Women entered the job market in a big way and the government steps in to pay the bills if a man isn’t around to do it.

B) Feminism pushes the idea that women don’t “need” men and certainly shouldn’t cater to men. It also encourages women to pursue a career instead of a relationship in their twenties.
