i think people that fetishize the idea of the world before the industrial revolution are dummyed, but i will say i believe sex has gotten somewhat corrupted during the 1900s. before the 1800~1900 i think sex was more so done when people were ready to have children because of the lack of things like latex condoms & religion being taken far more seriously. casual sex is such of a weird thing to me, since it doesn't seem like it was all too common from just thinking about it. when people try to normalize it with the "oh well you need to have sex to romantically bond with your partner" that just seems really weird, like fucking just because you're horny is what animals do & so is stuff like jacking off. i think there is something uniquely human about repressing sexual urges until you decide to start a family. animals probably dont really understand that & thats where casual sex interlaps with that because you're doing it out of an urge to just do it. there is something very weird with the modern world trying to justify things people do by relating people to wild animals.
