Why It's So Hard for Men to Say No to Sex and Why Saying Yes to Unwanted Sex Has Consequences.
... and why saying yes to unwanted sex has consequences.
There are certainly some nuggets of truth in there but man is Psych Today just a terrible org.
What's wrong with it? (Genuine question)
Yeah, Psych today is about as credible these days as The View when it comes to psychology research.
Good to know, I was not aware of that. I appreciate that folks on lemmy seem to kinda always have their finger on the pulse so to speak when it comes to the background of various organizations
As someone who used to think they were a man, and who felt that as a supposed man they had a "role" to fulfil in wanting sex whenever it was an option, I can absolutely back this up. I have caused myself no end of damage because I thought that wanting sex was the default state and I should jump on the opportunity whenever I could.
Sex is great. Lots of sex is great. But it's okay to not want to have sex, and it's not worth the psychological damage to have sex when you don't want to have sex. It can be like sexually assaulting yourself.
I had to read the community 'about' section because at a glance of the headline I thought this was an onion network or similar article and didn't know what men's liberation was.
It's hard for me to say no because why would I.
TL;DR: the reason is that men are horndogs, and those that for some weird reason want to say “no” are pressured by the Patriarchy and/or Toxic Masculinity to say “yes.”
Did I get the gist of the article right? 🤔
