Somehow gen z’s early exposure to porn has made them more prudish than the religious. Literally. I’ve Seen so many posts on Reddit and had real life conversations with gen z people where they’ve said that they hate when couples publicly say their trying for a baby because it means they’re being “creampied” and that’s awkward for them.

Reminds me of some post I read on Reddit regarding a Rimworld sex mod. So many people thought it was completely immoral and had no place in the game.

A game in which you can kidnap and cannibalis children, make clothes of their skin and sell it, a game where you can strap people to a bed, steal all of their organs, cut of their lega so they cant escape and keep them as a blood transfusion slave for ever. Missionary sex between a married couple in their own bed room is wrong and immoral.

That was definitely one of the weirdest takes I have read in a while, still is.

This i can understand though. It is not that the sex itself would be immoral. It is that putting the sex into the context of this violence is immoral.

And i have to say i find this important. Sex to me is an expression of affection with my partner and "sacred" for that. I don't want it tainted with the banality of pornography or the psychotic issues that make people connect sex and violence.

Yeah, that's nothing to do with porn, and everything to do with the awkwardness of your coworkers talking about banging their spouses at work.

that’s incredibly prudish to not even want someone to say they’re trying for a baby.

[+] surewhynotlem -20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's weird for two reasons. One, if you struggle to get pregnant it puts a lot of external pressure on you and you'll have to go back and let people know you're potentially infertile. Two, talking about biological things isn't appropriate in some settings. I don't want to hear about your colonoscopy. I don't want to hear that you're raw dogging your wife. I don't want to hear about you surgery. Sir, this is a Wendy's.

That sounds lonely. We all live together. Sharing is a much better default than walling everyone off and judging everyone for sharing really basic parts of life is kind of sad. Obviously there are limit, but “we’re trying to have a baby” and “I’m having surgery” shouldn’t be something that we’re pressured to not share.

I find it more weird that your coworkes talking about trying to get a child results in you imagening them "raw dogging".

When one of my coworkers had a child born i also didn't make a point of imagening the delivery process. I just congratulated them and asked them jokingly how much sleep they caught the last night.
