You think people in their late teens and early 20s in the past fucked more cause they thought “ah if I have a kid it’s no issue, I can support them!”?..
Also come on… it is really cheap to get fucked up. There is really cheap booze. Really cheap weed. Really cheap drugs in general really.
And you know, you pre-game, go to a dive bar during live music night or some shit. Meet some new people, make mistakes, make memories you’ll only re-remember at the most inconvenient moments.
Go to a rave. They are really cheap and md has not become anymore expensive throughout the years.
Actually, this is something that the more I think about is true. Drugs are some of the few things that haven’t really increased in price at all.
Getting fucked up is one of the few things you can do as a young person that has DECREASED in comparative cost.
Camping with friends and taking lsd and shrooms, raving and taking md, going to a dive bar and smoking weed… its all CHEAPER now, comparatively.
I don't think it, it's a statistical fact. It's a stat that's tracked for decades across many countries. The numbers don't lie.
All you are doing is arguing anecdotally. The peopel going to raves/clubs are wealthy, and wealthy peopel fuck a lot, sure, but that'snot hte majority of people.
the average person in the usa has 7 partners in a lifetime. a lot of wealthy party kids have like 70. i have over 30 myself, but I understand I'm not normal, and the people I was socializing with when I was in my 20s also were not normal, they were richer than me and had a lot more sex than me. but i understand my anecdotal experience is not what how your average person lives their life.
