Basically this: combination of post-pandemic mindset and just general accessibility of high-quality pocket computers. The difference watching /r/Roadcam five years ago vs today is stark.

The phenomenon I was commenting about, though, is the same reason everywhere you visit people will tell you "if you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes!!" and think it's unique to their locale, while it's actually just a symptom of a changing world.

The thing about exponential increases is that, (if we are talking about intelligence) the timeframe for this thing to become beyond our understanding will be relatively short. If we can't understand something we can't control it.

First rule: don't fib about how much you enjoyed it and don't fake it. If someone thinks they are hitting all the right buttons because you aren't being truthful about how many they're missing then they'll carry on doing it that way and you won't get the satisfaction you deserve.

Secondly, never have sex out of obligation. If you don't want it, you don't have to do it. Forcing yourself to have sex just to please someone else/keep them around only reinforces any negative associations you already have.

Third your ex is a selfish, lazy tool. His penis is not a magic wand that can make any woman orgasm just by pointing it in her direction. Work on dropping that idea from your mindset because it's created a mental roadblock that you can't get past without help. The truth is that many women have trouble reaching orgasm from penetration alone and need extra mental, emotional and physical stimulation to get their own personal best out of sex. You are not defective, you are not unusual and you are not alone.

Finally knowing how to please yourself and being confident in expressing it to an open and understanding partner will help. Reading Come As You Are by Dr Emily Nagoski might be a helpful starting point for you to begin your explorations. Good luck!

I retired BECAUSE it was getting too scary on 84 every morning, and every evening. People drive crazy now. 30 years ago, people drove in their lane until their exit came, and then they got off the highway. Now, people drive like it's a pinball machine, and they're they only car on the road. weaving from right lane to left lane through the middle lane, far too many times as I was in the middle lane 2 cars passing me on both sides only to try to both be in front of me in the middle lane at the same time, only for one of them to veer off just before the collision right in front of me.... I finally said fuck it. My life is worth more than this. I've been wishing for these ticketing cameras for a few years now. Don't give a damn if the driver owns the car or not. If he/she's driving the car, fine. you get a ticket. If you don't own the car but let someone else drive it, fine. You won't do that again.
