Sexpectations

A topic I've been seeing popping up as of late online, is about how this new generation are having less sex in real life but are living a very active digital one.

It would seem, from the state of things, we are living in a society that has more then tripled the expectations of what is considered good sex. And put the fear into millions that nothing they could possible do will be good enough to make their partners think well of them in bed.  But on the same hand, it seems, this generation is claiming to have the best sex lives.

Does that seem like it's adding up to you?  Me neither.

What I can tell you is that they forgot to poll the teens and twentysomethings here in my city because our pregnancy rate has doubled in the last two years.  So some of that "new generation" is clearly having sex, and from the looks of it, it's all real baby.   Or at lest enough that the delivery wing at our local hospital will be overflowing in a few months time.

There is no question that the invention of social media outlets, cell phones, etc  has increased the way people have their relationships, (I've done a few digital things myself) but at the core of it all, I have to ask who can survive in a digital world alone?
