Why I Think Sex Has Become So Fringe Today

We’re having sex quicker
Even if we don’t have sex with complete strangers—even if we go on a few dates with someone first—we’re having sex quickly. We don’t really get to know people before sleeping with them these days. Think about it: if you waited to sleep with someone for months—if you waited until you knew all the things about his childhood and past and pain and family—you just wouldn’t feel quite as comfortable asking for that fringe stuff in bed. It’s just different after you’ve, like, held a man’s hand during his colonoscopy. Or sat with him when he cries after his childhood dog passes. And if you wait too long to ask for the fringe stuff, it just feels weird to ask. But we don’t wait for anything these days.
