One of them (guy who brought the stickers) was a virgin. We asked if we could celebrate his first time, and he said yes - ‘the wackier the better’, I believe. So we had him go first (he literally said “Leeroy Jenkins” as he entered) and popped confetti over him when he finished, and I signed a personalized gift for him.

I find reading these sorts of posts to be an interesting exercise in seeing outside of my own viewpoint and recognizing that people can have different lifestyles than my own.
Personally, I've started to identify as rather sex-negative over the last few years. It's not that I don't think sex is a good thing, I just think that the culture we live in has done some really awful things to the public perception of sexuality. I find that "sex-positivity" can sometimes be mixed in with the perception of sex as a commodity, and there's something about running statistical analysis on one's partners that comes across as rather cold to me.
Our bodies (most of them, as far as I know) are hard-wired for pair bonding and connection. Even though culture can override in all sorts of interesting ways, most of the wiring stays intact. My perspective is that human beings work better leaning into that wiring than subverting it.
I don't want this to come across as shaming in any way, I'm mostly just processing some feelings that surfaced while reading this article. I've been spending a lot of time working through my perceptions of intimacy, and discovering the vast number of ways that we can connect with each other has led me to wonder why I was so keen in the past for that connection to be a sexual one. I think a lot of it was cultural and porn related, honestly.
I could go on about this, but I won't. I'll just say that we live in a world where most people yearn for deeper connection - to be seen, heard, and understood as they are. Sex can facilitate that, but it can't be the only way for people to break down interpersonal barriers or we'll never manage to find our way back to a genuine sense of community.
Connection, yes. We are social animals. Pair bonding, not so much - there's a lot of conflicting theories there and historical evidence to suggest that pair bonding is a relatively modern social...
Our bodies (most of them, as far as I know) are hard-wired for pair bonding and connection
Connection, yes. We are social animals. Pair bonding, not so much - there's a lot of conflicting theories there and historical evidence to suggest that pair bonding is a relatively modern social phenomenon and that smaller, much more intertwined communities were the regular.
However, I'd argue against making generalized statements like "humans are hard wired for" because humans are so amazingly and vastly diverse. I think it's hard for us to think on the scale that the world and the internet operate on, and what is good for us is not necessarily good for others, let alone a group of 100 other people when we're picking from billions.
With all that being said I completely agree that our society and culture are too heavily invested in sex, and weird boundaries around sex as well. The way we hyper-sexualize folks and treat sex as a huge deal are both problematic when it comes to connections, because it simultaneously makes it more desirable and puts it on a pedestal. Tweaking either of these levers would help quite a bit as we could de-emphasize it's importance or make it less of a big deal. Both of those adjustments would reduce the limelight that sex currently gets and make it less important of a factor when thinking about connection and loneliness allowing more space for other solutions such as increasing other social/community connections like friendships and third spaces (an extremely important factor according to academic literature on loneliness).
Yep, I don't mean to dismiss polygyny, polyandry, non-monogamy, Congolese village wives, "we share everything"-type communes or anything like that. When I say 'our bodies', I'm talking about our...
Yep, I don't mean to dismiss polygyny, polyandry, non-monogamy, Congolese village wives, "we share everything"-type communes or anything like that.
When I say 'our bodies', I'm talking about our hormonal systems and neurotransmitters like oxytocin, and the fact that the physical vessel we exist in is a biological machine designed to replicate itself. Humans are not just bodies, we have culture and rational minds to act as an override and a buffer for animal instinct. Most large-scale cultures that I am aware of, though, have evolved to integrate monogamous pair-bonding as a core feature because everything else is a bit of an uphill battle.
Anyways, yea modern culture seems to have this really weird mix of putting sex on a pedestal while at the same time... not giving it due respect? Like, social attitudes are largely based around sex as a status symbol rather than an interpersonal experience. It seems like society has assigned the value of sex to something external to the experience itself.
I think that the above article does a pretty good job of representing this, actually: There's next to nothing being said about the actual people. The personal experience is relegated to a few check boxes and couple bullet points at the bottom of the page. Everything else is statistics, planning, how people were selected, etc - almost as if the point of the event was to write an article about it.

I really appreciated her discussion about how awkward and unsexy the logistics of it were, as they matched my own awkward experience with being in spaces like that. Trying to be ready on a schedule, needing to finish and be done on a time limit, being surrounded by people who you aren't necessarily interested in... It's a sexy concept, at least for some, but the behind the scenes stuff really sparked both amusement and horrified sympathy.

Again, I'm just talking about myself, and wondering if anyone else has similar feelings or thoughts.

To me it was more clinical, not particularly pornographic or even sexual, despite being about having sex with 80 men.
Woah woah woah, to be clear, Aella did not have sex with 80 men, she had sex with 37 men (and still did not cum). That's a whole 46.25% less than 80 men!

That may or may not be intentional, I don't really know anything about the author. If I read this from the perspective of "what would it be like..." then I do feel a little grossed out, but if I read it from more of an anthropological perspective then it's just interesting to me to glean a few details about a subculture of people that I have absolutely nothing in common with (at least as far as attitude toward sex and relationships go).

Honestly I find Aella to be one of the most insufferable people on the Internet, and her entire personality seems to be "average reddit commenter". I'm not sure if she has some sort of social disorder, but she regularly says things that are in massively poor taste or otherwise just really out there for the sake of being out there, or for attention, or some other reason, but it makes her out to be really off-putting.
She's got some of that "I'm just asking questions" and "If I say something that offends you, that's your problem" energy that was popular among conservative commentators a while ago.

You haven't met any people whose minds got a bit blurred or scrambled by taking psychedelics too often? I envy you, it's sometimes scary but mainly really, really annoying. Apart from an occasional straight up psychosis it can make a rational and grounded person into an esoteric weirdo who suddenly full on believes in healing power of sacred geometry. It normally completely fades away when they stay sober (no weed either) for about a year, but one has to realize they have a problem first, which is not common.
However I don't know her and "using LSD like every day" sounds like it might just be microdosing which is unlikely to cause issues.
I looked back at what I was referencing and it was more like every week, which isn't quite as bad but still a lot more than I would ever do. I believe it was full doses though, not just microdosing.

It obviously accelerates indoctrination into the occult, if you are exposed to it, but I know of people at the periphery of my social network who are into that without ever taking any such substances. It just took them a bit longer.
The effects from every day cannabis (on about 50% of people) feel way more pronounced to me.
Also, you can't use LSD every day. The tolerance builds up too quickly. Maximum frequency is about every weekend. So unless you literally stay at home in between, you will get a hefty dose of unfiltered reality, especially during the afterglow.
For sure, wasn't trying to imply otherwise. But I've seen a relatively strong shift in this direction from people who were otherwise rational, and those who stopped using for long enough gradually...

This is where I kind of disagree - yeah, the long-term effects of cannabis are usually much stronger, but imo that's just because many people use every day, which, as you say, is not possible with psychedelics. But using every other weekend long term and smoking weed inbetween (not even every day) is more than enough for some people and the two week pauses definitely are not enough to ground them.
I do not claim to know what portion of regular (ab)users this affects, but I have seen it multiple times.

Yes, unfortunately. She's been a somewhat famous figure on the Internet for a while now. She's a prostitute/camgirl/psuedo intellectual, and fancies herself a statistician because of unnerving twitter polls she posts like this one.
She regularly makes tweets that are insanely out of touch, (which I have a suspicion that she knows, and just uses a "just asking questions" attitude to justify as another commented mentioned), like this or this.
She's either completely out of touch and is just very confident about things she knows basically nothing about, or she's an intentional shit stirrer because she figures any engagement is good. Either one is really annoying for someone with a platform as large as hers though. She just has a "not like other girls"/reddit vibe that I find really grating.
What makes her so notable is that she’s a cis woman. Everyone else who spouts those opinions are college boys and young men who never outgrew their teenage edgelord phase. If she weren’t a woman,...

Interesting read, if somewhat unbelievable that I share the planet with someone whose sexual choices are THAT different from mine, but the world IS a strange place at times.
The thing I find incomprehensible is the men. Like, if I was watching another guy having sex with her, the LAST thing I'd be thinking is 'oh man I wanna go next'. More like, 'Ew, well its time to run away now' lol. My brain just cant wrap my head around the appeal of someone's sloppy seconds being appealing in ANY way.

There's some data to suggest that reproductive competition in early humans occurred in situations where multiple men had sex with the same woman in short order. The shape of the glans effectively draws seminal fluid out of the vaginal canal when thrusting. The very fact that experiencing other people having sex (i.e. pornography) is generally arousing, and that humans' sense of disgust is muted when they're aroused suggests a reproductive benefit to being the last man standing, so to speak.
But yeah, current memes regarding family structures, inheritance law, and other aspects of the culture have definitely caused us to mostly default to a stance that that sort of sexual encounter is wrong. In modern humans, protecting your lineage is more about monopolization of reproductive opportunities as opposed to outlasting your competition.
The shape of the glans doesn't automatically make it so that gangbangs make sense. It is more likely in my opinion that we have been the way we are now for a long time. That "sneaking one in"...
The shape of the glans doesn't automatically make it so that gangbangs make sense.
It is more likely in my opinion that we have been the way we are now for a long time. That "sneaking one in" despite not being the head honcho of the group of apes, or the dedicated partner to the individual female still leaves you with better chances of your dna being passed on if you "scoop out" what was left there from before.
Or it could be completely random and just a byproduct of some early mutation.
Men who weren’t participating got to hang out in the main space or in a hot tub, where at least some networking occurred - I heard one man say “I didn’t expect to meet another YC founder here”.
