I distinctly remember when I realized that sex isn't something that falls from the sky or appears when you have crossed off the checkmarks.

You have to *actually* turn on a specific woman. Seriously, I remember realizing that. And I think you have to tell men that.

Or rather, you have to tell men who (want to) sleep with women that. For me, another guy is different but idk about everybody.

But anyway my point is we teach boys they're entitled to sex for things that aren't, you know, making a woman want to have sex with you.

And that is like... massively, massively, massively fucked up and I think like... fucked up at the level of foundational cultural myths.

And I think it is fixable, but it has to do with what we tell boys and young men about sex.
