What she is describing can be summarized simply as low libido. These are women with a weakened to non-existent sex drive. If only we could isolate a libido-lowering factor. Maybe a medication of some sort that only women take throughout their mating years. I have no idea what it might be. Hmm…..

Have the long-term studies ever even been done, to determine the safety/effects of using that stuff throughout the teen years, while still growing?

Once you know how they work, it becomes very clear that there have to be consequences from something like that. But we don’t talk about the consequences until we have a generation of women clinically unable to pair up. And then we blame everything instead of looking at the actual physical causes.

Quick-and-dirty search for internet stats suggests we’re talking about 30% of girls between 15 and 19.

Dude. Fifteen! No girl needs a sex life at 15. But in order to push girls into utterly unnecessary sex lives at 15, we deprive them of healthy and very necessary sex lives at 35. This truly makes no sense.

Half the 20somethings I know were taking it at 13.

I have very angry feelings towards their parents. I don’t see this as that much different from puberty blockers at the same age. It’s not quite as bad, ok, but it’s still atrocious.

Here’s a depressing article from two years ago. Doesn’t even address the *most common* iteration.
https://time.com/6468975/teens-long-acting-contraceptives/
They’ve got the CDC reporting:
22% of girls age 15-19 in the US using emergency contraception (aka planB), and 19% using IUDs and implants.

This plan B shit is the vilest shit imaginable. Maybe people need to find out how it actually works. I can’t believe they do and still casually use it.

…after a ‘private’ convo with the gyn, where they confessed to being ‘active’, and then the doc kindly explained to the parent that it was for ‘irregularity’ or ‘cramps’ or even ‘acne’.
Know one parent who questioned whether it was a good idea for longterm health, asked the right questions… and the doc threatened to report them child protective services.

“women with a weakened to non-existent sex drive”
To spell it out for those in back…. and without getting into the origins….. these long list of requirements are to ensure that no man can make the grade and they can stay alone while “complaining” about how real mean just don’t measure up….
In the past, if they could muster any religious feeling they might become nuns.
I predict that a lot of them, if they feel lonely enough, might “discover” they’re lesbians and settle into platonic Boston marriages.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. They don’t want a guy. They don’t know how to want a guy. And they have no explanation for why. So they invent all these excuses, it’s sad really. The normal impulse for a person is to be paired up. And yes, there have always been exceptions. But in these quantities?? Sorry, that’s abnormal.

We all know what SSRI use does to sexual function in adults. What happens if you’ve been on that crap from age 8? The overall rate in teens was something like… 8%, but more girls than boys so more like 10% in girls. That number is really, really hard to find, because it has gotten swamped (deliberately hidden?) in search results by ten thousand dumb blurbs citing a study that goes on and on about how much rates of psych scrips have gone up since covid… without ever mentioning *what the actual rates are*. Saying something has gone up 63% is totally meaningless if you don’t know how much you started with, or how much you ended with. I hate endless repetition of meaningless numbers to hide real numbers! Bastards.
Do we know anything *at all* about amphetamine (adderall, ritalin) use in children, and subsequent sexual function in adulthood? Has the question even been asked?
