Summary
Promiscuity is nothing new, but the change I have seen in our society over the past few decades is that it has become a goal and a false ideal that people feel they need to aspire to. And more worrying, it s become an identity.

00:00:00.000
Hey, happy Monday. I hope everyone's well and your week is off to a fantastic start.
00:00:04.740
Does anyone else constantly have this sense of impending doom?
00:00:08.380
It can't just be me. Everywhere I look, on social media and mainstream media platforms,
00:00:13.620
I seem to find myself generally disappointed with our species.
00:00:17.500
To begin our expedition of discerning through the forest of chaos our society has today found itself in,
00:00:22.620
I want to start with a particular matter of contention that seems to have become a popular norm,
00:00:27.940
or at least for what I've seen in my generation.
00:00:31.060
Today in this video, we will be debunking the lunacy of the popular idea that promiscuity promotes female empowerment
00:00:37.740
and that it is ultimately good for women and thus good for the broader society around.
00:00:42.500
Because why wouldn't you agree that seeing your mum on OnlyFans just shows how empowered she is?
00:00:51.880
I want to start with what I mean by promiscuity.
00:00:54.460
Promiscuity is defined as having or characterised by many transient sexual relationships
00:01:00.060
where the word transient is defined as only lasting for a short time or impermanent.
00:01:05.080
I'll get into the danger of transient sex later, but for now, let's first delve into the promiscuous woman.
1.00
00:01:11.280
Now, I'm not ignorant to the fact that promiscuous behaviour in women has been around for millennia.
1.00
00:01:19.980
When you look back to, say, the 50s and 60s, this sexualisation, objectification of women was, of course, still present,
00:01:26.320
but perhaps not to the level that some of you expose yourselves for $3.99 a month for.
00:01:30.120
But you get the point. Promiscuity is nothing new.
00:01:32.300
The change I have seen that I believe is detrimental to our depressed and anxious generation
00:01:36.880
is that promiscuity has now become an identity.
00:01:40.420
And more worrying, it's become a goal and this kind of false ideal that people feel they need to aspire to.
00:01:45.100
And girls, I do get it. I completely understand why you want to match yourselves to what you see on Instagram.
00:01:51.440
These girls are, on the screen at least, gorgeous.
1.00
00:01:54.740
And what girl doesn't want to feel gorgeous?
0.97
00:01:57.140
Among that, you're a fool if in the age of Instagram you cannot see that females do require a level of female validation.
00:02:02.880
The number one comment I hear from girls about these Instagram baddies who typically do have fans, let's be real,
0.51
00:02:08.720
is, oh, well, it's because all the men follow her.
00:02:11.120
Like, yeah, of course, we've just established that we know s**t selves.
00:02:15.060
The problem is, why do you think that's all you have to offer?
00:02:17.560
Or perhaps is it that you're too lazy to figure out what else you might have to offer and develop it,
00:02:22.800
so you just use the fact that because you have a f**ter and, well, everyone else does it and men love it,
0.82
00:02:30.900
It's like you have this idea that men like this girl, so I'll be like her and then the men will like me.
00:02:36.620
Or worse, my boyfriend and his friends will talk about this girl on Instagram or talk about this f***** star,
0.97
00:02:42.620
so if I act like her, then I'll be the star-prized girlfriend and all of his friends will talk about me.
00:02:54.940
And let's be real, it's pretty easy to string a girl down a path.
0.99
00:02:58.080
We're naturally more submissive, we're more emotional than men, we're much more agreeable than men,
00:03:05.900
I don't know why loads of girls think that they're an exception to the rule nowadays,
1.00
00:03:09.420
but I don't want the girls I love and care about around me to be deceived, you know?
00:03:14.180
If you go back to the 50s, Marilyn Monroe was renowned to be the sexiest woman alive,
00:03:18.160
and I'm sure lots of women back then wanted to emulate her image.
1.00
00:03:21.800
There's still women now who want to emulate her image.
1.00
00:03:28.800
A desire to emulate an image that is purely based upon your current physical state
00:03:36.340
You're abandoning your whole being, your whole personality,
00:03:39.880
your whole potential as an ever-changing, ever-developing human being
00:03:44.480
You're reducing that down so you can produce the sexiest image you possibly can
0.94
00:03:50.440
You're reducing your whole life, your whole existence, as to what you exist as.
00:03:58.920
And look how problematic that was for the woman behind the image.
0.99
00:04:01.940
Norma Jean Mortensen lived in a state of total loss and confusion within her being.
00:04:06.680
And if you haven't already watched the film Blonde on Netflix,
00:04:09.500
I highly suggest you do so, if of course your tiny attention spans.
00:04:13.120
Who can we think of who is notoriously a promiscuous woman, a sexual product?
1.00
00:04:20.360
Again, she's not a real person, but she's an image that's distorted into a so-called personality.
00:04:25.240
Created by a lady called Katrina Amy Alexandra Alexis Innes.
00:04:28.380
If you Google her, it literally says her claim to fame is being billed as Jordan
0.99
00:04:32.040
on page three in the British newspaper, The Sun.
00:04:34.380
And again, fame for her surgically enhanced breasts.
1.00
00:04:38.100
Do we think that Katrina is genuinely well and happy?
00:04:40.120
Another thing that blows my mind with all of this is I remember when women were advocating
1.00
00:04:44.900
for the removal of page three from The Sun newspaper,
00:04:47.880
screaming about how awful page three was back in the day and how it's degrading to women
0.76
00:04:53.620
Yet these same women be preaching how awesome it is for a woman to now make money on OnlyFans.
1.00
00:04:59.820
OnlyFans, a platform that exists on the internet loads of your children have access to.
00:05:08.180
The problem I have is that clinging to a certain image that only exists for a short space of
00:05:13.460
time in comparison to the majority of your life, it's a certain portrayal of who we are
00:05:18.440
through ultimately a fake image, whether it be filters, editing, surgical enhancements.
00:05:23.840
It's not even just the honesty aspect that bothers me.
00:05:26.320
It's the complete identification with the image that they're portraying and their downright
00:05:31.200
ignorance to their humanity and their mortality.
00:05:34.300
I just want you guys to genuinely internalise and accept the truth of our reality as women.
00:05:40.700
None of this live fast, die young, self-destructive crap, you're only here once, none of that.
00:05:46.300
They're convincing you that this ideal they're showing you is real, but it's not real.
00:05:50.880
Our bodies change every single day and whether you like it or not, you will get old, you will
00:05:59.640
Remember reality, that thing that existed before social media came around?
00:06:03.320
And this does not mean that now we should shift idealisation to create yet another deluded
00:06:07.980
ideal where we're distorting the reality of beauty standards by putting hippos on a
0.93
00:06:14.300
So if your whole identity is based in this current physical portrayal of yourself, if you're
00:06:19.040
constantly checking how your Instagram page looks and you're spending more time checking
00:06:23.580
Instagram than you do any other daily habit, and I'm sure your screen times will reflect
00:06:31.280
And I know to a lot of people how they're perceived on Instagram is one of their greatest
00:06:35.800
It's a known principle that the combination of our daily habits creates the person we
00:06:41.660
And if the majority of your day is spent with the habit of checking your Instagram, then that's
00:06:51.660
What happens when that can no longer be emulated?
00:06:55.600
What are you left with when you've identified as this transient vogue visor?
00:06:59.260
This notion that we can construct a new identity of ourselves based purely off of delusional
00:07:07.080
And should midlife crisis come around, which it may, you're setting yourself up for a fall
00:07:12.060
from an unbelievably high pedestal, a fall which may paralyze you and could kill this
00:07:20.040
Wouldn't the best idea be introspection and reflection in order to accept and incorporate
00:07:29.400
Because I can assure you that whatever you're running from, it's ultimately yourself and
00:07:37.980
Accepting the things that we've done in our life instead of fleeing allows us to evolve,
00:07:42.440
grow and bloom into healthy ideals that are based in realistic and safe desires.
00:07:48.080
I think the root of this issue, particularly for us in Gen Z, can be derived from our inability
00:07:53.900
Our attention spans have become so disabled and docile that content creators are literally
00:07:58.940
having to insert those little video games at the bottom of videos as an attempt to catch
00:08:07.040
And there's no point trying to insult the content creators for that and saying that they're
00:08:10.660
They're just adapting to a market that we, the consumers, create.
00:08:14.180
And shock horror, most of those videos get loads and loads of views.
00:08:18.780
So clearly that says something about the current mental state of our minds.
00:08:22.680
On the topic of transience, which seems to be at the heart of our contemporary culture,
00:08:26.740
as reflected by the most used app on the planet of all time, we browse transiently through
00:08:35.640
Decades prior to now, dating was a means to find a life partner.
00:08:39.340
Now dating can be purely for attention or sexual means.
00:08:44.180
I understand the necessity for dating apps in the digital age.
00:08:47.240
If you don't drink or you're not part of any club or society, or you don't want to
00:08:52.300
meet a partner out clubbing, which is fair enough, then dating apps are a way to find
00:08:56.820
However, I do see that there are these certain dating apps that are more used to gain a wealth
00:09:04.220
The rise of apps like Tinder have pushed and promoted this hookup culture, which I absolutely
00:09:14.180
And you may ask, well, if you care about people's freedoms, then why do you disagree with an
00:09:19.020
app that gives women the ability to sleep around freely?
0.99
00:09:23.100
It's not the freedom of choice that I have a problem with.
00:09:25.800
Rather, how free is the action of making said choice if it's made from a place where a bias
00:09:33.500
Freedom is defined as having the ability to act or change without constraint or to possess
00:09:39.640
the power and resources to fulfill one's purposes unhindered.
00:09:45.240
In most countries here in the West, this is a fundamental human right and is part of the
00:09:49.740
country's legal jurisdiction, which is fundamentally necessary.
00:09:53.400
Do the companies and platforms that exist within these jurisdictions comply with the law as to
00:10:02.920
To have freedom to act or to not act in a particular way regarding a particular subject,
00:10:08.600
in this instance, we're talking about transient sexual relationships, then you need to understand
00:10:12.780
the pros and cons of said subject in order to make a decision that remains unhindered.
00:10:18.440
Celebrities, public figures, the music we consume, influencers, and even our schooling
00:10:23.120
system here in the UK tells us, hey, it's okay to have sex with lots of different guys.
00:10:29.420
As long as he wraps it up, there's no other risks.
00:10:32.060
In the name of freedom, let's take this narrative into account.
00:10:36.660
The other side provides scientific evidence that concludes otherwise and does show that
00:10:41.720
there are risks that exist, but they're just not widely discussed in the popular
00:10:48.060
Would you agree that in order for you to remain unhindered, we shouldn't just be getting
00:10:56.100
If you don't understand the concept of tyranny, that's absolutely fine.
00:11:01.960
Here are two examples of notoriously tyrannical societies, both past and present.
00:11:07.780
So yeah, hopefully we can all agree that tyranny is bad and that blocking out information that
00:11:12.660
you don't like just because it contradicts how you currently live your life and exercise
00:11:18.420
If you want someone to stop saying something just because it contradicts what you're currently
00:11:22.840
doing in your life, if you don't like something and you think, oh, I should block that out,
00:11:27.100
So what they don't tell you, which you may have already heard of here and there, but given
00:11:31.420
that we do live in a one-sided society at the moment, it's probably been dismissed as
00:11:37.620
It's basically that having transient sexual relationships, so many different sexual partners,
00:11:42.160
actually does carry with it a lot of risks, not only on your ability to do something
00:11:46.160
which is called pair bonding, but it also depletes your potential life prospects.
00:11:53.620
Wolfinger found that women marrying in the year 2000 that have had more than 10 premarital
00:11:57.980
sexual partners are more likely to get divorced.
00:12:01.420
Whilst the professor does admit that ultimately this raises more questions than answers as we
00:12:06.160
can't change our body count, it does show at least that for us girls, there is a clear
0.96
00:12:10.900
emotional connection linked to how many people we share ourselves with sexually.
00:12:14.500
It is the same to men, it does apply to men too, however for women the bar is a lot lower.
00:12:19.940
Men can sleep with way more women without damaging their ability to pair bond.
00:12:23.840
I just wish that people would try to understand why it matters.
00:12:27.260
I personally have come to the conclusion that women know it matters, purely just based off
1.00
00:12:32.520
of the defensive behaviour that manifests when they're asked about it.
00:12:35.380
It's kind of like they assume that they will be judged, so somewhere inside they must know
00:12:43.040
Otherwise, why would they feel like they're being judged?
00:12:47.720
Not only does promiscuity feed the lie that transient sexual relationships are empowering
00:12:52.520
and holds no risk to your potential future, but promiscuity as represented now has proven
00:12:58.360
to affect your ability to attach deep on an emotional level.
00:13:01.360
There are multiple studies and scientific data to support this, which again, I'm so
00:13:05.340
sorry that you actually have to go out and find it and that it's not readily available,
00:13:12.300
I'm so sorry the world is like this and I wish it wasn't.
00:13:14.740
If you care about both sides of an argument, here is the other side that they don't tell
00:13:18.500
Pair bonding is a biological, neurological mechanism that happens in all animals, including
00:13:25.880
It was first arrived in 1987 by people called Hassan and Shaver.
00:13:30.000
If you've ever done A-level psychology, the OCR one, you might remember learning about
00:13:44.940
When an individual chooses to engage in transient sex, breaking bond after bond from each new
00:13:50.760
partner that they're with, the brain forms a new synaptic map of one night stands.
00:13:54.900
And this pattern of attach, break, attach, break becomes the new normal for the individual.
00:14:04.400
You basically make it harder for you to permanently bond with someone.
00:14:07.780
The mainstream media, our educational systems, our music, and people in positions of power
00:14:12.820
are convincing women this is female empowerment.
00:14:17.080
Allowing women to have unhindered freedom upon their acts.
0.98
00:14:20.360
Actually giving women both sides of the story whilst being informed of all the benefits and
0.98
00:14:28.040
Female empowerment is meant to be about acceptance and love.
1.00
00:14:31.220
Love being, it's something that's going to be good for yourself, so therefore it's going
00:14:36.220
And thus the ripple effect of that means that it's good on the broader society.
00:14:39.680
It's these same feminists that preach about female empowerment as an excuse to indulge in
1.00
00:14:45.120
promiscuous behaviour that also shame the ideal of being a wife.
1.00
00:14:50.600
If you can't already tell, I do not agree with anything that feminism alleges to stand
1.00
00:14:55.320
for, but we'll be here for another hour if I jump into that now.
