Sex and intimacy are such fascinating topics.

I don’t read this and think boomer. Your attitude towards sex is very now. I believe, in a broader sense, that there’s an intentional misrepresentation at work about modern sex. I can’t argue that sex isn’t everywhere, it definitely, is but that’s mostly aspirational marketing. Millennials and Gen Z kids aren’t having as much sex with as many partners as media suggests we are. If my information is correct we’re having less then previous generations.

I think we are also navigating a shift in what sex means. And what intimacy means. We’re pivoting away from love/sex as ownership and into the murky messy territory of trust/friendship/desire within relationships that defy traditional definition.
