Since the financial crisis, an increasing percentage of 20 something guys have not been having sex. For me, in part, this has been a financial decision, not only religious, etc. A few years ago, when the options I preferred did not work out, I decided to slash my spending (live under a bridge was the eventual decision) and save up a 100,000$ by the time I reached 30 (almost there on both counts). Partly, due to being actually broke. Foreign friends, remember: cost of living is high in the U.S. And my parents were baby boomers. Very spoiled generation. Practically speaking, nothing was left to me. I had LESS than nothing (owed money to the IRS). And marriage? Extremely fragile over here. No laws. It would have been a challenge to find a serious girl that would take me seriously.

I like my women! Uh, oh, I must clarify. I mean to say that, of course, I am not actually supportive of polygamy as the ideal, and, certainly, I myself will not practice it ever, of course. Call me a monogamous Muslim, who likes his women! Uh, is that better? No? Very much like my women. Now? Blast it! I possess plutonic admiration for the talents and contributions of the intellectually superior gender, and I - as an expendable male - hope to rise to the level of an excellent female's particular attention some day. Better? Haha, yippee! I'm amazing! I must be Swiss.
