I think I got ghosted after sex :(

I know there is differences in what the younger people do nowadays, I’m older so guess I’m officially old school lol The Rules book dominated my generation and that book was all about getting to the ring and the techniques in there were beyond manipulative. Maybe dialing back the weeks a bit would modernize the waiting period but seriously immediately jumping to sex doesn’t solidify human pair bonding faster, it does the opposite. There is nowhere for the relationship to go once you cross into intimacy and there is a let down and sex becomes no biggie and common. The anticipation of wanting to go there and waiting a bit is not frustrating, it’s exciting and helps builds bonds that are lasting. Modern society of everything now and instant gratification/communication creates a whole level of assumptions and anxiety it’s no wonder more people in their 20’s then ever before take anxiety meds with their brains exposed to non stop data from birth and don’t get me started on how the non stop porn access at a young age messes up human brains cause it’s pretty much common knowledge at this point.
