Why are the Abraham religions so interested in controlling people sexually

I note many achieved success with me in that regard back in the 70s . . . .

Just answering a survey question? Probably. Actually learning how to relate to women in order to have a steady supply of sex? That doesn't seem to be happening as much lately.

Young men of every generation suck at getting laid. What makes you think they've gotten more awkward around women?

Research shows that this generation is significantly worse at getting laid.

Researchers who analysed findings from a long-running social survey from the US found that those now in their early 20s are almost three times as likely not to be sexually active as their parents’ generation.
...
The only other generation that showed a higher rate of sexual inactivity were those born in the 1920s.
...
The authors of the latest study suggested that the decline could be the result of a combination of the historically high number of young adults living with their parents as well as increased access to instant entertainment and even online pornography.

Personally dealing with women is a hassle I'd rather not go through. I feel no strong desire to have children, and don't feel like paying for sex, so a hand job does fine for when I need that stress relief.

Yep. This attitude is on the rise, but the Christians who suggest that people get married and actually have regular sex are somehow the prudes.

Except that regular sex can be obtained without marriage, go figure.

Of course it can be - as noted, it increasingly isn't.

where's the fun in regular sex ?

the fun is in doing the weird stuff.

See, this shit was originally written by nervous men with tiny dicks who didn't want their wives to laugh at them.......

Seeing how they were probably black... not likely

has anyone yet noted in this topic that the Abrahamic religions are interested in controlling people, and especially menstruating women, precisely because their God is a right royal bastard about it ??

OK...what's your problem with rules on menstruating women?

[vorlon13]

That they are NOT followed unto this very day, that is my problem with God's rules, edicts and strictures on menstruation.

Funny, to me at least, He ever brought up the topic, but since He did, here we are.

Some Jews follow it. Gentiles aren't subject to it - see Acts 15.

If you think people who call themselves Jews should follow the law, well, yeah, I pretty much agree.
