Love is like an apple, it starts out fresh but slowly rots at the core.

Guess it's gotta be that way. Alexa, play losing my religion by R.E.M.

I know what you mean. Honestly, I think there's not much I can do other than wish you good luck.

It's the best approach. The more hopes and wishes you project into it, the harder potential disappointments will be. After a few weeks you know what you will get.

Firstly, birth control also has off-label uses, such as hormonal treatment of ovarian cysts.

Secondly, it's uncertain how much sex anyone is or isn't having. I doubt even the NSA has the budget for 24/7 surveillance of every bedroom and car on the face of the Earth.

Thirdly, even if you assume the trend, that still means there ARE young individuals in need of birth control. Denying them this in favour of a tax cut is unconscionably selfish.

OPs source said young people aren't having sex.

that's based off the OP's premise not your secret NSA spying on you fetish.

I did not say lets outlaw birth control, I am sure your GP can treat your ovarian cist with hormone pills.

They're not gonna be young forever, and by the time they're not, they'll have more time to get revenge than you will. :p

That sounds like a very lonely existence. I find that regardless of gender, I tend to have meaningful contact mentally and physically with my friends. We hug, massage and talk about everything.
I hope you will find such a friendship as well

Latino men kiss but we never give each other massages unless that's our brother or something. As far as I'm concerned, the only people allowed to give me a massage are attractive females and that's it, and the only men who can kiss me better be guys that I know well and who are latino or Arab or some other culture that accepts this behavior like mine does

It doesn't need to be outlawed to be unaffordable. Just ask Sandra Fluke's friend.

It said dating was at an all time low, not that sexual activity was at an all time low. Lack of dating could be verified by decline in marriage certificates and/or lack of couples you see out in public. Lack of sexual activity is a bit more murky.

That is something to discuss with said girl. In our circle of friends, platonic contact doesn't cause jealousy in any one. There is no kissing on the mouth, no exchange of bodily fluids and no touching of the genitalia.
If you truly love someone, you want them to be happy. No matter what. That is achievable by open communication.

Nice attempt to distort what I wrote. Your "happy marriages and long term relationships" do not exist in large enough numbers to justify the RISK to men in the current lunatic cultural and legal environment. And that's not even addressing the rampant hypergamy and monkey-branching instigated by contemporary feminism, facilitated by Tinder and other Chad/Tyrone-friendly sites, and grounded in unevolved female nature.

There is definitely less sex going on than in previous decades because technology enables a lot of people to become "shut ins" or to just not be in any situations where sex is even a possibility. Solitary activities are increasingly easier to do than group activities, unless someone is inclined to go outside. Not everyone of course, is going to be a nerd or stay indoors surfing the internet for most hours; but point is that more technology is enabling "not getting laid" to be a more common situation than ever was the case.

It depends on how you define sex. If it has to be with a person whom has a different gender and is in physical contact with you. Yes there is less of that.

If sex also includes sex toys, phone/ internet sex etc. I would guesstimate the number of orgasms rise.

I would love to ask her as we don't we can't no one knows who she is. It is an interesting story because the friend had insurance and everyone agreed the treatment should be covered under the insurance but they wouldn't because the insurance provider misunderstood the use of the drug in this treatment, at most that should have been an hour or two phone call to the insurance company to get straightened out with maybe a doctor's.

There in where my questions about the veracity of the story arise. You mean to tell me a law student couldn't navigate an insurance company's administrative procedure ? Not to mention the resources she had available as a law student. The administrative law professor, civil rights professor, or corporate law professor would have had a field that with this and would have gotten her the medicine overnighted to her within hours.

The friend is either the least qualified law student ever or the story is misleading if not outright false. Fluke's friend either made a sob story up, or Fluke elected to repeat a Georgetown urban legend as though she witnessed it directly.

Sex is inherently at minimum: a two person activity. If you're bringing only yourself to climax, that is masturbation- not sex.
