I’d imagine pretty common, at least back when it was uncool to be a “nerd”. Hormones are a powerful drug, and at least until I figured out what it was all about, girls were way more fascinating than electronics.

Sex derails the potential of young humans in so many ways, yet the process of reproduction is so arduous that it makes sense that we’d end up wired to prioritise it heavily. All it would take is for young people to wise up and we’d be extinct within a century and a half lol.

We’re seeing the results of not valuing the labor that is creating a home and raising children in systematic rapid population decline. (Which might seem ok, but in most situations, it is socioeconomicly catastrophic)

We need to learn to overtly value the huge labor sink investment that motherhood , fatherhood, and family stewardship entail.

There are things more valuable to humanity than the ability to concentrate wealth and power at the expense and to the exclusion of others.

The whole drive to concentrate wealth and power is fundamentally based on sex anyway. It seems a great poverty to not acknowledge and socially celebrate the skills, labours, and sacrifices of parenthood.
