To talk to strangers is discouraged. Thus, the social training is this&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>do not interact with strangers or feign any interest in others.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus some Japanese men prefer to stay at home, play games, and live virtually. Porn consumption is high&#8211; because it is considered bad manners or &#8216;un-good&#8217; to go out and pursue &#8216;sexual conquests&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And ultimately what is the purpose of sex? To procreate and have kids. Technically for a man, the point is to insert his penis into a vagina, ejaculate [no condom], impregnate a woman, and have a child. But with all these weird online sex fetishes, I&#8217;m starting to wonder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Do modern men even want to have sex with a real-life woman, insert his penis into her vagina, and ejaculate within her?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, I think most modern men would prefer other weird things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">america<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='500' height='281' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/CHJAZip1?preloadContent=metadata&amp;hd=0&amp;cover=1' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1674852142'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In America, this is what I am noticing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>in the big cities, to make eye contact is considered bad manners.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>thou shalt not be loud, talk to strangers, or make a &#8216;hub-bub&#8217;.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, we are socialized to become anti-social. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">when is it dangerous to like fake people?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='500' height='281' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/ddtym234?autoPlay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;hd=0&amp;cover=1' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1674852142'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An actor (on the screen) is a fake person.
