I despair of the younger generation: too lazy for real sex??

I may not be down with the cybermasturbation, but now I kinda wish I were a teenager again …

Yes, there is an element of jealousy on my part. A premade network of sex sources and you already know what they like and don’t like.

But there’s always the problem of disappointment. After all, when they were just a pretty picture on the monitor they were perfect. Now, you’d have to deal with them not having the stamina you wished for or maybe they were keeping something out of frame that wasn’t so nice…

Somehow, the idea of a virtual reality headset hooked up to her webcam so I can play spank the pony in my bedroom just doesn’t do it.

We need good old-fashioned exchange of bodily fluids! Now you kids get in that bedroom and screw like good Americans!

It kinda gives “double-clicking the mouse” a whole new meaning, doesn’t it?

Just for the record, I do not know a single person my age who does this. Then again, it’s not like they would tell me about it, even if they were…

For the best computer sex song EVER, look up the Arrogant Worms’ “Log into You”

But then how do we know *you’re * telling the truth?

[Telperien]

I don’t know. In my day (snerk), the spotty, nerdy teenagers got laid, by other spotty, nerdy teenagers. And they were just fine with that.

[straight_man]

You don’t. :eek:

[straight_man]

Wait a second… I never said that I didn’t. :smack:

So, before someone jumps on that:

I have never had cybersex.

That is a wild username, eustachian. Especially given the topic in this thread.

Welcome to the SDMB.

“When I was your age, I had to walk through the snow, uphill both ways, to get drunk and laid!”

BTW, I’d just like to mention that I went to college at Cornell, so this was literally true in my case.

Welcome to the SDMB.

Thank you. I feel very welcome.

BTW, the username is less interesting than you think. I’m on my school’s Scholar Bowl team. One day in practice, a question came up that went something like, “Name the tube that runs from the back of the throat to the inner ear.” So without even processing, I buzz in with, “Fallopian tube.”

There were thirteen other people in the room. Not one of them stopped laughing for five minutes solid. The worst part was, I couldn’t figure out what I’d said that was so funny for, um, four of those five minutes.

I’m actually a bit prudish, and, as you can tell, completely innocent.

Jeez, where was the kid who started the thread “My Porn – Is it legal?”

Those poor, poor, misguided kids, though. Don’t they know that if you can’t smell it and taste it, it ain’t real?

Next thing you know, they’ll be too lazy to head down to the Sevvie for a Slurpee and a Hoagie, and just run a Brainfreeze and Processed Cheeze sim on their damned Playstations.

That was me although I’m 20 so I’m a bit past it now.

Although now I can tell all the underage people I know (very few) that they cn feel free to make all the porn they want!

Also, it’s tough to remember, but life was really different before you could drive. (At least if you don’t live in a big city.) A mile and a half to your girlfriend’s house was a near-insurmountable distance, at least if you had less than two hours before your parents were going to be home.

Mum and Dad at the supper table, planning the next day’s schedule with the kids

Mum: I’m going to pick-up Jennifer after school tomorrow and take her to soccer, then I have to drop Bobby off for his piano lesson. Can you pick up Jennifer after work?

Dad: Sure, but what about Andy? One of us has to take him over to Sally’s place, remember? We promised him that he could get laid this week.

Mum: Oh, that’s right. Andy, would you mind walking over to Sally’s place after school? Dad can pick you up around six-fifteen, after he picks up Jennifer.

Andy: Awww, Mum, that’s such a long way to walk. You promised me that I could get a lift over. And Dad’s always late picking me up.

Dad: That’s enough, young man. If you want to get laid you have to be willing to put a bit of effort into it. When I was your age, I’d walk a couple of miles for a nice bit of…

Mum: That’s enough, both of you. Andy, if you’re going over to Sally’s, she’d appreciate it if you stay for a while once you’re done, so it doesn’t matter if Dad is a bit late.

I love happy endings. snif

[Marley23]

I see this as a positive. If enough people do it, it could start to reduce the population - especially the population of nerds. It could also reduce dating competition, which I’m okay with. And if any of these geeks ever get tired of cybering (carpal tunnel seems like a risk, for example), tada, I’m there.

[Atheist_Princess]

I have never felt the need to be a participant in cyber sex. Funny that :rolleyes: I dont know anyone who has done anything like this. I guess the girls would keep it on the low, but the guys would go bragging about it like they scored IRL.

If I am in the mood, my boyfriend is only a phone call away

I have no problem with phone sex of course

At least these kids will know by observation (1) the normal variation in sexual body parts, (2) how guys like to jerk themselves off, and (3) how gals like to pleasure themselves BEFORE they start being sexually active in the real world. Maybe everybody should have to do this before they start trying their skills out on real people.

(Underlying assumption that they are not also sexually active with a partner in real time acknowledged to be not necessarily the case.)

[user_hostile]

I can only say that this metaphorically ranks along the lines of quantum mechanics…a state of being both unexpectedly prosaic and yet utterly amazing–you can’t really quite pin down what to feel.

A virgin I may be, but I still feel a need to say…

Um, no thanks.
