Are we now witnessing the beginning of a worldwide end of heterosexual relationships?

[GammaGlobulin]

Hi Folks,

 

It seems to me that the trend, worldwide, is to steer away from the normative heterosexual relationships, and family relationships, of old.

 

Why is this, do you think?

 

Of course, I make no judgement about what might or might not be better for society.

However, I am just making an observation based on the trends which I seem to be witnessing.

 

I think this trend will be better for women than it will be for men, and this is just my opinion.

 

If I were a woman, I would not wish to have a relationship with a modern-day man, especially the likes of what we are now seeing on social media.

 

Also, when I see advertising for major organizations, mainstream organizations, these ads seem to cater to the new trends in our society, as observed by me.

 

So, what do you think?

Is this just the next step, before we all have a significant robotic other?

 

Thank you for telling me.

Best regards,

Gamma

You're reading far too much into trendy adverts that are over-trying in the 'inclusivity' department.

Yes.

Trendy is the word I used.

Trends are things that I pay much attention to.

They are often predictive of future realities.

The stats show that about 70% of worldwide relationships are heterosexual, so while the trends are changing, I agree with you, it's for the better that society has become more accepting.

This 70-percent stat that you state represents a HUGE shift.

Therefore, it seems that I am correct in my assumptions.

 

[JackGats]

Most countries now embrace the criminalisation of many aspects of healthy male heterosexuality. Everything is rape, everything is abuse. You're a pedo if you find teenage girls attractive. Etc.

[bubblegum]

no. It's only the minority that is in the news.

I would also opine that this major shift, if true, has far less to do with any changes in sexual orientation, and far more to do with compatibility.

 

Far fewer golf widows, for example.

And, no more Football on the TV, every Sunday, Saturday, Monday, and other days of the weeks.

And no more waiting for hubby, sprawled out with a case of beer...on the couch.

 

Perhaps this is more a matter of shared interests, and sharing life with another who shares these common interests.

 

After all, we can already see that procreation has become rather passe in our Brave New World.

I would also like to mention here, at this time, that I am now considering submitting my application to the Ross Medical School, of Barbados, for entrance in September.

This was not the prime motivating factor for starting this Topic.

However, I would just like to know how things stand in North America, in light of the ads I am seeing on the Med School internet sites.

 

Sure, I am a bit long in the tooth to begin my studies at Med School, not to mention my career in internal medicine.

But I can tell you that I will not be the oldest student ever to apply to a decent school of medicine.

I have a lot to offer, with very good prep from an excellent pre-med program at Penn, as you know.

 

I think I might also like to work on gender-related issues as these affect internal medicine, upon my graduation and completion of residency.

 

Still, speaking to the worldwide question, I am interested in this, as well, having already mentioned that I am noting this shift, now ongoing, and continually increasing at an even more rapid rate.

There are good reasons and causes, as I have stated above.

I think deep down women much more then men want to at least experiment with homo.  It seems the situation now is people are just friends then sexual.

Birth rates down, etc.

Yes.

And this is what this Topic is pointing out.....obviously.

Absolutely riveting stuff. So if I’m reading you right, and I like to think I am, though there’s every chance you’ve beamed in from a parallel universe where common sense is charged extra, you’re telling us that the world is turning its back on heterosexual relationships… and that this is somehow a win for women?

 

And now here’s the twist. I assume, from the way you’ve worded this, that you must be talking about people having sex with themselves. That’s the only explanation I can deduce from your observations. A man alone in his room with nothing but his own reflection and a packet of tissues. That’s your new societal trend, is it? You’ve cracked the code. The new norm is just loads of people giving themselves a cheeky wink and saying, “Go on then, treat yourself.”

 

I must admit, I’m struggling to figure out whether that makes someone gay or straight. Is it gay if you’re the same person? Or is it the most heterosexual act possible because you are technically with someone of the opposite sex… unless you count both personalities? What if you’re nonbinary but only during foreplay? It’s all terribly confusing.

 

Also, big applause for the bit where you managed to observe advertising trends without any judgment whatsoever, just a calm, scientific analysis, the kind one might perform while dissecting a frog or reading the back of a shampoo bottle. You’ve bravely noticed that major brands are using images of people who aren’t straight white couples from the 1950s. Bold of them, I know. Next they’ll be showing left handed people eating yogurt. Chaos.

 

And let’s not skip past your bombshell that if you were a woman, you wouldn’t want to date a modern man. Stunning insight. Not because it’s wrong, just because I had no idea you were considering that transition. Best of luck. Hope your new self enjoys long walks, scented candles, and not dating men who rant about adverts on internet forums.

 

Anyway, please do keep observing society for us from your front row seat in the Year of Our Lord 1953. We all feel a bit safer knowing you’re watching.

Yes.

You are completely correct in this part of your comment.

I think tradition, convention and peer/family pressure pushed many people into the accepted man and wife, heterosexual relationship, but now people (in countries not ruled by religion) have a choice.  So perhaps it's a natural rebalancing of relationships?

 

For me, the hetero, exclusive, man/woman partnership works well - we take largely 'tradional' roles where she cares for me and I provide financial support for her, but she's also a skilled business partner, so she supports in some less 'traditional wife' roles to help build our business .... but the man/wife dynamic is not for everyone.

 

There's also the heterosexual attraction factor ..... she's still super hot after 14 years together, so even if she didn't cook and care for me, add value to our business, I'd still want her around for more basic needs 😀

I can think of other words but would probably be banned for saying them. Whatever floats your boat but I don't think there is going to be any change that wasn't already present.

[Cameroni]

Only 2 percent or so of people identify as gay or lesbian.

 

Nothing to worry about.

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times, they are a-changin'

Children are free labor in an farming community. They are a costly millstone in a city.

 

Guess where humanity has been migrating to since the Industrial Revolution?

[KhunLA]

Nah ... just not in closet any more.  More probably experimenting since the stigma is less.

Do you remember the 70'ies? Everyone had sex with everyone? 

 

It had an natural end, aids

 

No this is just another phase, and there will be an end to this to, because you can not pretend to like something or someone because it's trendy 

[blaze master]

Good. It will help with the population.
