This is what happens when a generation gives up on marriage and replaces it with hookup culture.
What is ‘fluid bonding’? Intimate sex act is growing in popularity
“Fluid bonding” — the act of intentionally sharing bodily juices with a sexual partner — is purportedly becoming a popular practice in bedrooms across the nation.
“Usually, unprotected sex is just a sort of casual, barrier-less erotic experience without communication and intention,” sexologist Jenny Skyler told MindBodyGreen.
In contrast, fluid bonding is done with the goal of being “more connected, [or to] have more sensation, intimacy or commitment.”
According to InsideHook, fluid bonding with a partner “is an active, conscious choice” that revolves around consent and intent.
“Fluid bonding is a term that describes a pre-established agreement between two or more people to intentionally go without barriers,” Luna Matatas, the creator of Peg the Patriarchy, told Women’s Health.
Um… this this how normal married people in healthy monogamous relationships have sex.
Every one of my married friends I sent this to was confused as to the difference between “fluid bonding” and regular intimate marital relations.
Then it dawned on me, all of my married friends are about my age, between 35 and 40.
We predate hookup culture. Yes, we tried to get laid in college, but once we graduated, finding a significant other and getting married was the goal. We were all married my our mid 20s. We were either married or in serious relationships before the hookup apps hit the market. Back when we were trying to get lucky, we had to meet other humans in person face to face in a public setting and that had a way of causing emotional attachments.
The Zoomers log on, swipe, have emotionless sex with someone they met for that explicit purpose, and then have to come up with some sort of new sexual act to create a simulacrum of what normal married people of the previous generations do regularly.
It’s like something straight out of Brave New World.
Part if me wants to laugh at the Zoomers for thinking they reinvented sex. The other part of me wants to weep for the Zoomers in realization of how vacuous their interpersonal human connections are having grown up with apps, screens, and social media as a barrier between each one of them.
It’s much worse for the men.
Check any data involving any dating app. The moment you scratch the surface you’ll see that women have more choices/options than they can handle while only a handful of men even get a chance.
It reminds me of Muslim culture where the top men get the harems while the men below get almost nothing. Thing is, it’s probably a big reason why violence is so prevalent: they don’t have a chance of a family.
A journalist wrote something stupid, and you extrapolate it to an entire generation.
Stop it.
For what it’s worth, I’m from the tail-end of Generation X and remember reading about “fluid bonding” way back in the Late Eighties and Early Nineties in various alt culture ‘zines. Usually in the context of unmarried, monogamous, same sex couples explaining how they practiced safe sex during the peak of the AIDS crisis.
Since state recognition of same-sex couples was non-existent and cultural recognition of the same was shaky and there was a poorly understood sexually transmitted disease killing us… Well, it was kind of an important conversation.
It was Millennials who co-opted this bit of Gay Culture 1.0 (much like Gun Culture 1.0 and 2.0 there is a distinct generational divide that occurs when access to the World Wide Web became ubiquitous) and started using the term to refer to boring old monogamous heterosexual intercourse in the missionary position.
But, let me just leave you with this exit quote:
“Each generation thinks it invented sex; each generation is totally mistaken. Anything along that line today was commonplace both in Pompeii and in Victorian England; the differences lie only in the degree of coverup — if any.” –Robert Heinlein, Expanded Universe (1980)
Ish: thanks for the quote!
Been a long time since I read expanded universe, so now I’m off to my bookshelf!
Sad.
Not just dating/marriage. One of the goals of a leftist is to make the number one most important relationship be with the State. Family, spouses, even serious interpersonal relationships get in the way of that. Dating apps, OnlyFans (and the other wanking sites), and even TwitBookGram are the tools they can use to destroy the relationships.
Since marriage and the family structure are no longer important, humans, who are emotional beings, need to feel like they have a “special” relationship. So, share fluids… It is almost the same thing.
The implications of this go a lot further than you might imagine as well. This trend is not just relationships, it is economics as well. Captain Capitalism covered it a LOT better than I can.

To sum it up, the number one reason why men take on the risky, yet high paying jobs is to take care of their family. Remove the family, and you remove the incentive to work hard.
Demolition man strikes again!
So when I spray my significant other so she looks like a glazed donut, it’s called fluid bonding ! !
