Show transcriptScreenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

This is gonna sound crazy but I've had some incredibly lonely sex where I haven't felt connected, intimate or seen by my partner.

I don't think that sounds crazy at all. I wish that this sentiment were discussed more freely in society, because I hate the stereotype that men only care about pure physicality in sex (and the corresponding stereotype that women only care about emotional connection).

Same, it was like a one night stand but with someone I had known and slept with before. I call it the n+1 night stand.
