A common saying in our Western world is that we are constantly "oversexed and underfucked". In many, many movies, TV series, other media, life in Western society is portrayed in such a way that everyone is all the time promiscuous and there are opportunities for sex everywhere and everyone just wants to get it on all the time. This creates a sex image of life, and a lot of people believe in it. But it is not the truth. I think a more realistic way to look at it is this: 10% of people live that "crazy sex life" with lots of encounters and activities. 30% live a more average and meagre life, with month- or yearlong pauses, but on the other hand also some sex and relationships. They more or less "get by" sexually. And 60% have a close to nothing (or even nothing) sex life and only get sex or a relationship in the rarest of occasions. And this way of looking at things is much closer to the truth than the world the media seems to transmit and generate.
There are also some factors which decide if you are likely to get sex or not. If you're rich, or pretty, or in the best case both, you will have it easy. If you are poor and "not pretty", it will become very hard. Also as a male, if you're a social misfit, outcast, nerd, rebel, anarchist, or another type of freak, usually girls won't touch you with a ten-feet pole.
Why do I write this? Because this fake media created image of "sex" and a sexual life needs to be deconstructed. And the reality, which is often not as nice and shiny and exciting like the things we see on TV or at the movies, needs to be acknowledged.
Otherwise there will be a lot of frustration, as people will feel they're wrong or worthless because they are not part of the "big sex craze" the media projects, but which doesn't really exist. Especially since it is communicated that everyone can have a fulfilling sex life if one just does the right thing and changes one's personality. No, a lot of males, and women too, simply can't.
It's important to admit reality, to face reality, and not live in a fake world the media created and tries to pull over our heads.
Just say "no!" to the "sex craze".
