Just the title really, I’m new to this sub. I feel more emotional when I am alone, very introspective, but this is not the case when I interact with someone.

I posted this earlier but deleted it because I wasn’t sure about how good my claim was, but I’m reposting it here, apologies for the confusion.

When I see people talk about my generation not wanting to have sex as much as previous generations they appear to frame it as always a negative thing. This maybe true for certain people who do want sex but can’t due to social and mental reasons, I feel that for many others it is not a bad thing at all.

I personally take issue with people believing that sex is always one of the most vital parts in life (I feel that this is what separates sex-positivity from that which I call sex-toxicity) and that when people have less of it, it is an indicator of a failing relationship. They fail to take into account that many Gen Z-ers simply just aren’t into it, we may just be less inclined to have a more hedonistic lifestyle than previous generations. It is unfortunately true that some of us want to police sex in society, this is a very small minority of people which the majority of ourselves do not want to be associated with.

I feel that those obsessed with our sex lives (the sex-toxic, who are different to the sex-positive who just want sex to become more accepted in society) are compromised of rich conservatives who want us to become breeding machines of new workers and people who somehow cannot wrap their heads around the fact that some people just don’t want to have sex whether it be because of mental health or social problems or just simply do not want to have a sexual relationship.

I have a bit of a sensitive stomach (a common trait for autistic people, which I’ve found out recently) and I find it hard to eat or even smell anything with really intense flavors. However, I want to travel to foreign countries, a lot of them being known for intensly-flavored cuisine, I don’t know what to do about this as I’ll not really be around foods that I’m more used to. How should I get around this? Is it really anything to worry about?

Thanks in advance for the replies!
