You can have sex and be a totally toxic bastard that people don't want to be around once they get to know you. You could have sex frequently but still be deeply lonely.

Agreed. It's dangerous to conflate emotional intimacy and sex - they aren't the same thing and pretending they are is part of what got us into this mess imo.

The phasing is as a sudden historically unique crisis, not the generic sense of ennui common to adulthood throughout history.

I can show you black and white French films from the 1960s complaining about the same Male Loneliness

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
