In the section called "Fallout From The Sexual Revolution," the author said this:

The third was a long Twitter thread from a lady who recounted, quite frankly, some of the things she had done as a young adult, including having a threesome with the man whom she later married, and how they reverberated to this day and almost destroyed her married sex life and indeed her marriage itself. I don't know if it was “brave” to post what she posted, but she was very candid about things that she had done and how they effected her later in life, and how she and her husband were working on healing the wounds. The thread was up for several days, but when I went to link it for the ONT it had been deleted.

As someone from Gen X, I sometimes think that we hit the sweet spot of the sexual revolution. The hedonism of the 70s certainly bled over into our high school and college experiences, but traditional expectation of marriage and families also held sway, and most people my age moved pretty seamlessly from college to career and marriage. Now than I am older I can see the problems with it, but all in all, and generally speaking, I don't think the college party scene impacted our future lives too badly.

Nowadays, however, for millennials and zoomers, it didn't end with college. Hook up culture continues right through their 20s and into their 30s. By the time they start to think about the future, the men are jaded and the women are bitter. Not everyone, of course, but a good chunk of the population. It's a problem. I can't think of a stable society that wasn't centered around the family unit, and ours is becoming less and less so.

I could have written that second paragraph myself, it was so spot on.

What about you Poalers?
