Ask Women on Yik Yak | Now?? One of my great-grandmothers had 14 kids and another had 16 soooo I think human society has always been sex focused. But now women are free to fight to have more power over their bodies and what they are used for instead of just reproducing.

Why is the world so damn sex focused now

Anonymous 4w

Or could it be related to the evaluation that was made stating that raising 2 kids in the 2000/2010s was approximately the equivalent of raising 5 or 6 in the 1960s? It’s so much more expensive to raise children now. What a family could do with one income a family can barely do with two incomes now. I think there is a difference between sex the original post was talking about and declining birth rates that you have eluded to.

Kind of refreshing seeing actual logical analysis and conversation here😂 didnt realize i was invested in this. Probably going to do some research of my own later.

It’s always been about sex, even the first lystrosaureses we descended from were all about sex. It’s hardwired into us from an evolutionary survival point of view. Big strong productive male, impregnates multiple women and they produce more giga chads. It’s really that simple.

I think its also in part to healthcare getting better so mortality rates went down, then if you had a farm kids were free labor. So a shift from agricultural production to industrial production.

How many of those kids lived past infancy?

14 or 16 kids is not evidence of anything… your grandmothers could have had those many kids while having less sex than an average college student

I'm talking about sex in general and that it's not a new concept because its always been a focus. Its just more in your face because its more talked about instead of hidden. And I believe its exactly the same sex the OP means its just more okay these days for women to talk about.

Its not about how much sex someone is or isn't having. Its answering the OP’s question for why everything is about sex now to women.

Your answer to OP’s question is human society has always been obsessed with sex… but your evidence doesn’t prove those women were obsessed with sex in any way.

I never said anything about obsession and in fact I'm saying the opposite. Being sex focused is and always has been a natural and normal part of being a human for many people. Im sharing my opinion that it looks differently coming from women now because of our access to choices and freedoms we didn't have in the past. I don't believe its any more or less now than it always has been.

And my point is your belief might be true but your evidence doesn’t prove any support for those beliefs.

I'm not trying to prove anything or provide evidence of anything. I'm just sharing my opinion. Thanks for the discussion though.

Surprisingly only 1 of the 16 died in infancy and 2 others passed together in a car accident in their early adult lives with the rest living into their 70’s or are still alive. All 14 on the other side survived until late adulthood or are still alive including my Grandma who is 89 and was the eldest child.

It's fascinating to me looking at the differences in families and number of kids over the years in my family line. The 14 and 16 were both on my moms side so is is her parents who were 1 of 14 and 1 of 16. My mom is 1 of 6. I am 1 of 1. I have 2 children and neither of them are planning to have any but that may or may not change in the future.
