The Price We Pay for Sexual Freedom

Did you think it comes without cost?

Access to sex without investing in a long-term relationship has never been this high in the Western world.

The question is if it comes without a price. Or is there a hidden cost to that behavior?

Hunters are educated in biology

I have been a hunter since I was 16 years old. I have also studied biology at university.

For me in my country to become a hunter I needed to study about all the mammals in a school book including legislation surrounding hunting and property law. I also needed to be able to identify the different animals because it was included in the final exams.

The education also includes disease in the animal kingdom so that a hunter can determine what is going on within his hunting area.

When elk, moose(moose sickness), farmed salmon(cancer), rabbits (myxomatoses) are in abundance. Disease outbreaks appear in nasty visual ways. It is nature's way of keeping any animal population in balance with the rest of the animals on this earth.

Human behaviour

So do human behaviours apply to the same biological balance?

Most likely yes. But not in the way you might think. It looks more or less that both mental and sexual diseases occur out of poor behaviors and a lack of morals or culture. No impulse control and you start binge eating take drugs or do dangerous things.

Lack of conscientiousness and people can’t stick to a training routine.

Mental illness

There is now emerging evidence that only eating meat shows an increase in self-reported well-being according to Lennerz and fellow researchers.

Cheating men and women

Cheating behaviors are a type of personality as well as poor cultural values. I wrote about this in my other article “Why Men Choose a Woman with Lower Social Status”.

Aggressive feminist activists

Feminist activism is associated with pathological narcissism according to Krispenz. Their aggressive activism in turn is also correlated with narcissism according to Lambe which I wrote about in “Why Men Choose a Woman with Lower Social Status”.

Free sex?

Is there something called “free sex”?

What we see in the Western world is the rise of sexually transmitted diseases.

Gonorrhoea

  • Multi-drug resistant gonorrhea- WHOCDC

In Sweden, the Swedish Public Broadcasting Service SVT shows that Gonorrhoea has increased by 350% in the last decade and more and more of them are women. In total about 0,04%.

Syphilis

In Sweden, the Swedish Public Broadcasting Service SVT shows that Syphilis has almost increased by 200% in the last decade and is about 0,005%.

“Rates of P&S syphilis increased among both men and women, among all age groups, and in all regions of the United States.” according to the CDC.

In Sweden, we see that gay or bisexual men(green line) get infected with syphilis from other men. Or men that are raped by other men.

Tinder

Recent research now shows evidence that Tinder has many Dark Tetrad men and women according to Evita March in Australia.

It has also gone as far as users filing a class-action against dating apps according to The Guardian.

“On Valentine’s Day, six dating app users filed a proposed class-action lawsuit accusing Tinder, Hinge, and other Match dating apps of using addictive, game-like features to encourage compulsive use.”

We know that women are suffering on social media apps when they see other women living a better life higher up the social hierarchy. Yes, they experience pain when they visually see that on Facebook, Instagram, TickTok, and other apps.

Not so for men, since men seem to be wired differently. Men have other addictions like gambling for the very reason to gather resources quickly.

As a UX Designer myself I know that Tinder uses the narcissistic pathology as a gamification system. For a woman to see how many men have swiped right on them is an indication to her that she is valuable when in fact she might not be.

Men swipe right to increase possible matches. It could be as simple as that which I would argue it is.

All in all

There is no such thing as a “free lunch” in life or “free sex”.

Nor is there something called “free sex” without possible negative outcomes for life.

  • Resistant Gonorrhoea is on the rise.
  • Syphilis is on the rise.
  • Tinder is increasingly dangerous.
  • Feminism wants to eradicate men across the globe.

Look after yourself. Maybe the good old fashioned meeting someone where you have your interests are the best way. Who knows. Go and meet someone in a “Meet-Cute” as framed by the movie “The Holiday”.

Most importantly. Start asking a lot of questions to try and see who the other person is before you start taking unnecessary risks.

Take good care of yourself. There is only one of you on this earth.

I’m grateful for your support!
