| A recent Twitter thread that has been gaining traction resurfaced a 2019 study which found that young men are not having as much sex as they used to. Advocates of the sex industry have blamed this phenomenon on society's supposed stigmatization of sex, and proceed to argue that decriminalizing the commercial sex industry is the next step in "removing shame and fostering healthy sexuality."
The Daily Signal asked NCOSE's Dawn Hawkins to weigh in on this argument. She says: “There are a myriad of reasons why men under 30 may be having less sex, but normalizing prostitution would not lead to a utopian sex-positive society. Instead, it would increase toxic sexual entitlement and sexual exploitation. Men shouldn’t be entitled to sex from anyone, and in particular, from prostituted persons.” The Daily Signal article also points to increased use of internet pornography as a reason why men are having less real sexual relationships: As pornography usage has increased, research shows that they are less interested in real relationships that require pursuit, risk rejection, and don’t have the production value of the “supernormal stimuli” they are exposed to with pornography." |
