    one or more of these must be true

    • this survey is bunk
    • ~1/3 of gen z are doing some kind of new autosex thing that is somehow not masturbating but would cause everyone over 30 to have a heart attack if they even heard about it.
    • ~1/3 of genz can smurf off because the housing market is so fucked they share a bedroom with like 4 people and the SRO tenement housing rules say “NO JORKIN”.

      The survey is probably ok, the way they present the data really isn’t.

      It should be trivial for them to give a number how many sex havers and not sex havers are jerking it but instead they only talk about sex being down and people also not jerking it all that much.

    While sex isn’t generally a replacement for masturbation there’s something to be said for there being a world of difference between this many people not getting off at all vs just getting off every weekend but only via hook-ups and not self-pleasure.

    Stress can also kill sex drive so there’s that but this seems kind of an extremely high number to be stress alone no matter how bad things are.

    At the end of the day people lie about this kind of thing and I’m not sure this is a very good surveyor (playboy). A university survey would be more likely to get honest answers and be done in academically rigorous way that accounts for reasons.

      Masturbation is also a coping mechanism for stress. Like eating or other compulsive behavior as a means of soothing anxiety.

    Honestly, even though there could be major biases and issues with a Playboy administed online survey. A large scale survey where an individual person’s issues aren’t skewing this, this would seem to point to increases in depression.

        On top of that it’s hard to find a doctor who gives a shit to help with that. The birth control pill can also fuck with you sex drive and the effect is greatly undersold.

        I went from a horny teen to constantly struggling to get all the mental and physical stuff aligned. And then the stress of trying to be in the mood was fucking horrible on top of it. And then I had endo that got worse.

        So as far as people with uteruses, doctors can certainly be playing a part in the no fap issues.

        Honestly I should be allowed to hunt those fucking gynos for sport who did nothing or said anything about my endo and painful penitration. Didn’t matter how much I brought it up. It’s actually fun now that I got the malfunctioning baby box out. On top of a huge list of other benefits. But I digress.

              I have no quarrel with the technology of online dating in itself, just the enclosed dark pattern techbro variety that people are so weirdly resigned to. The torment nexus frequently just heaps further anguish atop the loneliness, which it has no incentive to actually help resolve.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
