The author tells a story about a party that ended at 10 am, and despite the hours of drinking\u00a0 partying,<em> everyone<\/em> left solo.<\/p>\n<p>According to the author, our generation is less sex-obsessed and more &#8220;self-obsessed.&#8221; We care more about how we look and who&#8217;s watching and what we&#8217;ll look like on Facebook the next day than we do about getting into bed. TALK ABOUT DEPRESSING. The author continues, saying that cocaine and careers also make sex less of a priority, but that the main issue is just how well connected everyone is. Especially in New York.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNew York is too dense; you\u2019re running into people all the time, everyone knows everyone,\u201d said a male consultant in his mid-20s. \u201cSex just doesn\u2019t make sense\u2014it\u2019s <em>dirty<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>A MALE?<\/em> I was shocked to read this.

That&#8217;s unsettling.<\/p>\n<p>So are we doomed to celibate lives of getting dressed up to appease no one other than our Facebook feeds? Not so, says the author.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBeing naked, warm and squirming with someone in a bed has nothing to do with the Internet,\u201d her Gmail chat message read. \u201cNever has, never will!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well now&#8230; we don&#8217;t know about <em>that<\/em> ;).<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-8874\" data-postid=\"8874\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-8874 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, GREAT.
