Enough already! I’m sick of the whining and frustration, the misogyny and hate born out of the sexual angst of young males, commonly known as incels. The solution lies clearly before us, ladies and gents. It’s time to bring back the sexual revolution.

I speak from experience. As a veteran of the punk rock scene in San Francisco during the seventies and early eighties, I can attest to the fact that there were no incels whining and complaining about not getting laid. No one had reason to complain since having sex was as common as eating donuts or brushing your teeth. Why shouldn’t it be?

Before you start bitching about the evils of “hookup culture,” consider this: Back in the day, we didn’t have anything as stigmatizing as hookup culture even though we probably had more casual sex than most people today. Much more. I can remember even the homeliest among us getting their ashes hauled on a semi-regular basis.

We did have a sexually liberated culture in which people could conduct themselves as they pleased without judgment. Monogamy, polyamory, promiscuity, ENM, BDSM, you name it, it was all cool as long as it was consensual and involved 18+ adults.

Anti-sexual attitudes create an environment of scarcity and guilt that makes getting laid downright difficult if not impossible.

Those prudes who today inveigh against the supposed moral degeneracy of people who dare to enjoy casual, consensual sex with no strings attached are judgmental pricks with puritanical attitudes that should have disappeared fifty years ago. Their anti-sexual attitudes create an environment of scarcity and guilt that makes getting laid downright difficult if not impossible.

So, pity the plight of the poor incel and do us all a favor. Bring back the sexual revolution. We’ll all be the better for it, male and female alike, and it will reduce the venomous hate coming from sexually frustrated males. Men whose sexual appetites have been sated are much more agreeable than those starving.

They’re not all cream of the crop, these incel dudes, but hey, their female counterparts aren’t all Miley Cyrus clones either. But there’s someone out there for everybody, so let’s make it easier for them to hook up. Bring back the sexual revolution already!
