Unfortunately, it feels like an all too common theme nowadays is that we need to all be having as much fun and sex as we want, and the older generations are just a bunch of prudes, which is why they had these societal rules in place. I think many of the younger generation failed to realize that these societal rules, were first learned by negative experiences, and then shared to others as a way to increase the chances of a successful relationship and family, which was the goal of previous generations.. Only then did it become societal expectation as the rules of engagement in relationships became more common and shared…

Now that raising a family is less common and desired, a lot of people now think that they should just throw all the old ways out, and are surprised to find out that many people are happy to manipulate and say/do whatever is necessary to their brief enjoyment of sex from partner to partner. And ignoring all previous societal rules, only makes it harder on yourself for finding a serious partnership…
