I hear you, mate. When I was thirteen all my friends were having crazy sex while I could barely get a handy. And if you think that’s wild, my parents generation literally did nothing but drugs and sex all day. My older kids didn’t even consider it a party unless someone was getting spanked or tied up, while my teens must content themselves with sexting everyone their nudes—damned Covid.
There has always been hookup culture, and it has never included you (you being about 90% of readers). This generation is unique in neither aspect.
It’s good that you’re honest with your feelings. The point being made is that almost everyone is being left out, having normal experiences. The good news is that one day you’ll probably get another normal experience of falling for someone and having a deep connection in addition to sex.
Who is telling you that casual sex is common? Where did they hear it? At its root, it’s mostly sold as a way to prey on male insecurities. Social media literally profits off you being insecure and engaging with a myth that everyone is hooking up but you.
I know. Cried myself to sleep over it when I was younger. Seems a bit silly now, but I think a lot of us go through those feelings. I can’t help that, but I can assure you you’ll have a different perspective on it some day. For all the good it does you now.
If it helps, my thirties were much wilder than my youth.

Well doesn’t it feel great to be left out
