Overinformed | What is happening to sex?
Can we talk about sex? Great. There is a lot going on.
Women around the world who have been sexually harassed are speaking out about what happened to them and not feeling the repercussions themselves, to the point where reports of sexual violence have increased.
Simultaneously, it has been observed that around the world, sexual activity has declined among young adults and teenagers. Is it Private Browsing’s fault? Are men being turned off by empowered women? Why are men afraid of women who know what they want?
Also wasn’t sexuality supposed to be liberated half a century ago? See we have a lot to talk about on today’s episode of Overinformed.
