Mostly used in joking contexts from what I’ve seen. My buddies and I will use cracking if we joke and use it to refer to idk fictional characters, monsters, or each other. Just anything as a joke we say cracking. At the same time, if we speak about our partners or people we are interested in, we say phrases like make love, be intimate, or just have sex. It’s the irony and context that defines it
Hi OP, the reason is because people learned to make sex into a drug. Hookups for example can be a drug but being rough is about the abstract rough act when a hookup was sex in general. The outcome is people looking to get their abstract act done on them or them to do on others. What that means is they only want people as part of their fantasy but isn’t that person isn’t the main thing. Where does this end?
That’s really good that you and your friends dont use the rather violent language when referring to the people in your life 🫶 But the reality is a good number of people, especially men do use crack and other similar words when talking about a hookup/gf/wife. As you can see in the other comments other men admit they dont use more nurturing words because its seen as corny or weird
like some will just say whatever brings them comfort and relief from the stress of failure. they make these spurious correlations between things they simply don't like and things that are categorically negative/harmful... then admit they have no clue how they connect 😭 like omg shut uppppp
😆 that’s funny. I literally gave a direct reason to ops question and now you’re just insulting me personally. It isn’t a narrative. It’s facts. What do you think porn does? It makes sex more available and less important or sacred. So language is obviously gonna go down to less positive connotations surrounding it. It’s a perfectly reasonable hypothesis
What does “sex is devolving” even mean? Bro people are having less sex now than they were 50 years ago😭 You see one bonnie blue or a few people with 10-15 bodies and make a general conclusion on a this generation when they had literal brothels in the past💀 And it took you FOUR comments to give me the “plethora of reasons”
not only are people having less sex... there are fewer divorces (more stable, lasting relationships), women are still offered fewer opportunities when perceived as promiscuous (not rewarded), millions of people wait for marriage (sex is not the foundation). nah this is absolutely a disingenuous, cynical, manufactured moral outrage
Are you suggesting hookup culture is the reason for the violent words that replace sex? I mean last I checked less people are having sex now then before. We have fewer brothels, less rape victims from war, prostitution is illegal in a number of places, etc. Feel free to DM you sound like a great person to have a conversation with
Hookups are a different thing because the abstract acts people want can happen independently and do not need to be from the hookup culture. Before the hookup culture was all that ways if they want just pleasure. Now it’s an internet culture that seeks abstract acts that they use as a drug to get their high. In other words, people just want their drug and use people as a resource but in a very abstract way.
