Old people, mostly.
Really sexual generacy is more of a Where You Live than How Old Are You thing. Living in a small but decent town I can tell you most of them didn't have relationships that didn't last around one year at least, even if it's the first one. They value their 'first time' and even their first kisses, both girls and boys. I imagine in trash big cities teens who just fuck around are much more prominent, but cautious teens do exist and always will be.
Has anyone brought up the fact that birth control has an effect on who we are attracted to?
With the increase of birth control usage due to availability, it would be interesting to see how many of these cases are influenced by it in some way. Specifically the times where women bring up the polyamory idea instead of men, since this would be something affecting the libido and mate selection of women.
When it comes to men in the relationship bringing up the idea of polyamory and such, I think that's been touched on a lot already in this thread since reddit is male-dominated and most of the post examples come from them. Although things like narcissism, social ineptitude, weird ingrained ideas of needing to be 'sexually free' to be progressive, are all things that affect both sexes.
More on the differences between swingers and polys:
My impression is that swingers are a lot more assertive than polys. I remember this long sex weirdo thread I read somewhere, and there were more than a few stories about swingers' meetups turning into fistfights because someone was enjoying themselves a bit too much with someone else's partner. One example was of an incident where a fight broke out because a lady hugged the guy afterwards. Funniest story was about an orgy were everybody was banging their asses off and accidentally destroyed a very expensive drum set.
What is it with the poly/board gaming overlap? Even they've noticed it...

https://www.reddit.com/r/polyamory/comments/6vreri/im_a_gay_male_does_an_asexual_poly_relationship/
What gets me about this subreddit is people post stuff like this and the commentators are all chill and just give normal advice like this isn't incredibly weird. It's really hard to tell when the comments are going to be tearing the OP a new one, or just going along with it and giving poor advice.
did this gay dude really just call having a friendship with a woman an asexual polyamorous relationship where he lets other dudes fuck her? like, yeah this is pretty standard interaction between a straight woman and a gay man? what is he on about???
america needs single payer so all these losers can get free therapy
Fuck buddies can work, you just need to be mature enough to separate the sex from romantic feelings.I've never even really got the idea of the "fuck buddy" or "swingers" thing.

That's not exactly what I meant.That's a curious statement though, that these days people consider separating romantic feelings and sex is considered a mature trait. Then not being able to separate the two is a sign of immatury? It's like society is telling you you aren't an adult unless you are banging people on the side.

Obviously sex can be romantic, and it's certainly better than NSA, but you can have sex with people you don't care about romantically. Maybe I worded my point badly. It's not inherently mature to completely separate romance and sex, and I'll admit it's hard to do so, but plenty of people will at one point in their life have sex with someone they don't have feelings for, and that's OK. It can work.
Oh I don't consider it an attack at all. It's all just opinions. I personally haven't heard it repeated all over the place but then again I don't really associate with the kinds of people who would say that kinda shit out in public. My sex life is my private business because really, who needs to know what kind of weird shit I get up to.It wasn't meant as an attack on you, it's just I hear the phrase repeated all over the place. It seems to be the prevailing attitude.
Logic seems to fail people like that.He wants to have a "romantic" relationship but to keep it asexual.
How you're supposed to have a romantic relationship with someone you have no sexual interest in, I have no idea.
And you would not have sex with him?
