Also, it's more safe for mainstream viewing.

And then the other thing, of course, which is wonderful is this focus on female pleasure.

Like during penetrative sex all the time.

Big experimenting.

Lots of rubbing up against people.

I think it's really hot because often when you graduate to P&V sex and oral sex,

you leave that behind.

And it's actually a great thing to maybe reintroduce back into the men's room.

I think what's most formative about the way Gen X women were introduced to sex is AIDS.

We became sexually active in the era of sex could kill you, like could actually kill you.

So not only did we have to worry about STDs and pregnancy, which women have always had to worry about, we also had to worry about AIDS, which was seen at that time as a death sentence.

And so I know that that was hugely formative in my fears around sex and in unprotected sex.

And being worried that you're going to get pregnant, get an STD and possibly die every time you have sex or sexual activity is not conducive to sexual liberation and freedom and, you know, a lack of inhibition.

Exactly.

And also we can't get pregnant anymore.

Yeah.

It's not until that's off the table for heterosexual women that you become aware of what a relief that is.

I think we compare ourselves sexually less as well.

Like I know that when I was a lot younger, I was so worried about how I was compared to how other women that my partner might have slept with might have been.

And now it's just like, you know what you like, you know what you don't want.
