She is so right, trust your instinct. I remember, as a 16-year-old girl, we were at our local festive week and on our way home to be offered a lift from a friend of a friend, and I was ushered into his car it was alright; he would drive me home, as we were driving, he said that he just had to get something from his home, he drove to the camp where he lived but then carried on driving into a field he got out of his car and went to the boot of his car. It was dark, close to midnight, and I felt a woosh of fear while sitting in the passenger seat. I just opened the door and ran towards the road took a giant leap over the ditch with water that was bordering the road. I don't know if he was going to do something, but it felt so wrong and strange for him to drive into a field and then go to the boot of his car that I wasn't going to ask and just had a flight response.

I think it’s because some may view her stance as placing a moral currency on sexuality. I feel like this is wrong. People are different and that is okay. If a woman wants to wait for marriage- that should absolutely be her choice and she should find a partner that supports it. But if a woman wants to be promiscuous, that is also her choice and i don’t view her any less than the one who waited. We need to normalize understanding that different people want different things and no one is better than the other. Consent and communication are the keys.

[@wanderingromance]

Casual sex just never made sense to me, always seemed like disassociation was essential to making it feel “casual” “comfortable” and “normal”. It just doesn’t add up. Most humans would never share a toothbrush with another human, but having sexual encounters (swapping body fluids sexually, letting someone inside you/ being inside of someone - which literally is the closest you can ever get in all senses, and simply being intimate) is considered less icky/bizarre than that? It just proves that we are conditioned to be casual about our bodies/ minds/ souls in this specific way as a social thing. It’s so backwards. Someone can have sex with you and not actually care about your well-being in the slightest… I’d much prefer to be cared for primarily and know someone intimately (in the non sexual way), then later have sex with that person. It just makes so much more sense, and yet you’re likely to be made to feel like a fool for wanting the latter and not the former😅 This is why I’m a huge fan of not explaining self. Just saying no when someone makes sexual advancements is more than sufficient and that is a culture that should go viral.

It's not just nowadays. I live in Germany and I let a 20 years old deflower me when I was 15 years old. I didn't want it, I was far from ready to let an other person enter my body. But I sort of planned it, because of the indirect pressure from my friends and peers, who were basically fucking around at this young age. When I look back now, there are many layers to the causes or reasons why young girls become sexually active, though they don't want it. But first of all I have to say: the healthier the family dynamics/backgrounds of young girls, the healthier their decisions are. If your daughter feels save and welcomed at home, the more self respect she will have, because she's not feeling a need to look for "shelter" with people who could harm her. It's simply and no news. In my case, I thought I have to please the young man in order to escape my home. If anybody would have been telling me how much this hurt me for the rest of my life (for relationships and sexually), if somebody would have helped my mother to make me feel safe, I wouldn't have been running either to my friends houses or the young men's.

I am teaching high-school. In a volunteering programme I showed them the percentage of underage mums in Romania and also some explicit pictures of sexually transmitted diseases, I told them when drinking with groups to never lose themselves because one fun night might turn into a tragedy. I was double questioning myself if I should approach this matter because “freedom” now is acceptable. One of the girls came to me and told me I was exaggerating. Fast forward several months later she asked to meet me privately, broke up crying saying she was almost SA at a party by one of her closest male friends and by luck she escaped. Her mate remembered what I told them and warned her about keeping her drink safe and in her hand. That one went safe and sound home and this one got traumatised. Her tears were terrible. We are not exaggerating, especially with teenagers.

I love that she gave it a name: “empathy gap.” Closing the empathy gap between men and women in both directions is a good first step.

Let's start with the rape argument. Rape in a partnership is more common than outside. Rape in friendship circles etc. way more common than with a stranger. Rape is mostly about power not about sex, why else would babys or older woman get raped (and yes, that happens). Maybe women feel empty because they get shamed a lot? Because there is this internalised idea of "I had casual sex, I am a bad person"? Here's the thing: There should not be pressure on women to sleep with a guy ("third date" comes to mind), but there should not be pressure to not sleep with a guy if both people feel like it. And yes, listen to your icks - that's the one thing I can get behind. You'd never be able to let yourself be comfortable with a dude you have icks about.

Thank you for speaking on women's instincts. It's often looked down on, especially things like "the ick." Sometimes women are unrealistic or judgemental, but our instincts often save our lives.

I grew up in an Asian country where sex before marriage was very much a taboo and pregnancy out of wedlock was a scandal. I moved to a Western country in my teen years and the culture was so different, I went from feeling the “pressure” to stay a virgin before marriage to the opposite way around where I was feeling almost ashamed of being a virgin in my 20s. Truth be told I agree with Louise Perry completely.. I’ve never enjoyed casual sex. Not the type who could have one without feeling attached or bonded, so I’d never do it. As I got older I’m now actually proud to have what they would call an “extremely low body count” these days. I think a healthy middle ground is to only have sex with someone when you’re in a committed relationship. The problem is these days in most western countries a lot of men wouldn’t wait because if you wouldn’t “put out” they’d just go find someone else who would. The key is to have every woman everywhere to stop engaging in casual sex, and you’d see men willing to commit again.

[@cavaleirosemlicenca3894]

Women would never go back on this behavior, the rebellious factor still prevails. Furthermore, men don't need to worry about religious morality, they can have easy access to sex or they can simply afford a call girl. Once a behavior becomes culturally normal, it is unlikely that the population will go back on that behavior.

[@v9b23j]

Women are (or used to be) the gatekeepers of sex. Before the sexual revolution, if a man wasn't prosocial and loyal to his woman, if he didn't have a job, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to have sex, as Louise said. Because sex was an expression of intimacy, an act of commitment and procreation that preceded a family union called marriage. A woman having sex with a man meant, "Your genes are good enough for me to carry in my womb for 9 months and continue the lineage".

[@Totsy30]

Agreed. I think a lot of women believe that giving sex early will get a guy, who they perceive as high quality, to commit. True high quality dudes aren't going to be offended if you don't give sex early. The only dudes getting offended or leaving to find another girl who will "put out" are not high quality guys. They may be high status or high income, but that does not equal high quality in commitment.

Just go ahead girl and do what You want to do ! I´m 76 years young which means I was there in the 60´ s and 70´s cultivating and observing the effects of the pill on women´s sexual appetite and behaviour. She wasn´t there then and she does not have access to my experiences and knowledge of what happened. Imo she does not understand the full picture. The pill was a great relief for both men and women. Finally we could build relations based on our sexuality. This was the sexual revolution and we saw it as a great positive. There was no doubts in our minds and we as a generation started to bond not just in pairs but also in groups changing our ways to the better. We started to look for peace and love as the foundation for relations. Both men and women did that. We also started to protest against materialism. Me, I took part in the student revolt to fight the war in Vietnam and the capitalists growing influence at the universities. And we were for a while a growing group of young people becoming influential on the way the society developed. Then came society´s reaction against us. It started with the war on drugs which suddenly also included cannabis. Nixon was behind that because the hippies in USA that preferred to relax with cannabis and magic mushrooms raqther then whisky had managed to stop the Vietnam war through their protests. Then the capitalists followed up on that by introducing the AIDS epidemic using falsified scientific data (google "Duesberg AIDS" ) through a corrupt medical industry dominated by the Rockefellers. These two measures by the "elites" in combination with their control of mass media and research institutions totally changed young people´s behaviour, stopped the sexual revolution and caused the beginning of the separation of men and women. It also stopped the peace movements as the peace protests had grown out of the love people found for eachother when they bonded and shared sexual experiences together. My point with this comment is to say that the guest in this video is searching explanations she can find in her historical view of the society but she misses that the society is dominated by the "elites" and they don´t accept us ordinary people to bond for reasons they see as wrong. Imo the reason for the failing relations between men and women today is the "elites" manipulations of just about anything they need to manipulate to guarantee that society developes in their preferred direction. The misery we see today in the world is imo much the effect of their control. We see the growing wars now including nuclear threats. We see diminishing human rights like in the war on Gaza, now classified as a genocide by the ICC. Still supported by our "elites" . They are to blame for the misery in the west including our sexual and relational misery because they do not share the same values as we do: Peace and love. 💗

I would find anyone NOT be considered controversial to be alarming in a society. That would mean we do not allow for different view points, life styles, and opinions to be valid and okay. There is not one way to live you life. And anyone who pushes one way of life, is mostly acting in bad faith and just wants power and control over someone else's life. It is important to ALWAYS be critical. Nobody is always right and always perfect. Not being critical is the basis of unhealthy cults.

[@KennethFabritius]

Nothing she's saying is controversial... But even someone as forward thinking as her CAN NOT talk about the elephant in the room. The cause of everything we are seeing with the breakdown of the mating market has absolutely nothing to do with men. It is entirely women's fault. When 8O% of men are literally invisible to 1OO% of women it by definition can not be men's fault. Women are the sexual selectors, the choosers. Women always have been... and women have always been the way they are currently... women have always been choosy and conniving and hypocritical and the more superficial sex. It is just that social degradation and scalability of women's sexual pickiness and caprice means women can be terrible on a societal and even global scale. There is nothing men can do to fix this. ONLY women can fix this... and it starts with them being honest. Women need to admit that they don't really want a good man or a stable man... they want the hunky "bad boy" and they want to tame him just enough to be HER bad boy. Once women admit the truth then men (who have always chased women and changed themselves to attract women) will have a clear and plausible target to aim for. Only then will men be able to become what women are interested in... and women ARE NOT interested in good men or "nice guys". Women are interested in bad boys that give them excitement... they only give in to "nice guys" once the clock starts ticking and they haven't locked down a bad boy (because most women can't). If women start being honest about what they want, a HUGE MAJORiTY of men will still be invisible to women... but rather than 1OO% of women lusting after and only giving the time-of-day to 5% of men... perhaps we can live in a world where 1OO% of women lust after 45% of men.

She is full of common sense. I’m a divorced man in my late 40s, physically fit and good looking. Naturally finding someone to sleep around was not hard but after trying it with a few partners I have strongly decided against it. Sex is not just only an isolated activity but something deeply emotional and spiritual that I just don’t want to share with someone I met in a bar. One of my ex partners was really gorgeous but despite that I felt empty. I have been oversexed to the extreme by movies, music, social media and so on. I have decided to focus on raising my children, make myself better and along the way I’m going to meet someone who wants something more than casual sex. And I don’t really care if it never happens .

I'm 27 and never had sex. Granted I'm only attracted to people sexually if they have a compatible personality but despite the stigma I have 0 regrets and don't feel a need to. There's so much that can make us happy other than sex. If you can't engage with it in a healthy way, it's not worth it. I've seen friends, family strangers all give in and have regret, health issues, put themselves at risk, emotional instability and stress from stress.

They want to be the cool girl, they want to be low maintenance, they want to be open to experimentation, they agree to things that they don't want to do because they feel it's expected of them. They believe that if they are truthful with a man, they will lose him. But they cry many times when a guy ghosts them after they had sex with him. Sometimes they engage in a sexual relationship with a man which goes on indefinitely and without purpose. In the end, the men doesn't commit and she is left to repeat the same scenario all over again with another man. We as women need to change the narrative of casual hookup culture.

It’s a tricky thing when you’re not sure if someone is interested and you don’t want to be rejected.

The whole '60s pop culture, make love not war, love is all you need, "cool" , the music, everything, was a deliberate social engineering project designed to undermine traditional family values, debase intimate and respectful love, remove God and religion (two separate things),.and completely unravel the fabric of a functioning society that had taken thousands of years to establish and which was the cornerstone of stability and procreation and furtherance of our own race and its values. This came down through the Frankfurt School and the Tavistock Institute and infiltrated the churches and educational system (the Long March through the institutions) and look where we are now. On the verge of complete abandonment of all cultural values that made the West strong. Children as young as 3 being taught to explore their bodies and more, unroll a rubber, (please comprehend my careful coding of language) lewdly graphic books in schools and libraries, confusion of what is M and F to the point where one Australian bureaucrat in Senate Estimates asked to define woman mumbled a word salad and said he'd have to take the question on notice.

Waiting until marriage for sex is kind of like the first test of someone's self-control, self-regulation, and patience. If you can wait for sex, you can wait for most anything in life. Looking back, waiting for sex was extremely empowering. It was my first step in learning to say "No" to men who wanted to control me. You want to exert you power over men? Don't offer up your body so freely. Also, on guns, it is the great equalizer for women against men. I recommend every woman have one.

Excellent episode. The notion of not having women in front-line policing roles (41:50 mark), however, doesn't hit the mark for me. I retired from policing after 30 years and some of my best partners were women. Anecdotally, the mere presence of a female office at a volatile scene more often than not deescalated the situation. Also, much of front line policing is responding to victims, and my experience has been that both men and women respond very well to female officers. As far as fitness standards go: I have never been asked to drop and do a single push up during my years as a front-line officer.

This is best for men as well. That is why men can't understand why, a woman in a sterile couple (usually older couples where one has had a tubal ligation or vasectomy), would refuse to allow the man to stop using condoms. Latex-free sex is very much more enjoyable and deepens trust which for men is the greatest aphrodisiac. A woman that continues to demand condom use is declaring that she and her mate are not trustworthy. That is fake monogamy. People that want monogamy should not accept fake monogamy. It's hypocrisy will eat away at the trust that underpins the enjoyment of monogamy.

[@oreoakalaperoji8314]

lol Let's go with the flow

[@davidmeadows5627]

But what if the woman wants casual sex?

[@casamurphy]

The problem is that women will say that, but not back it up with logically consistent action. A logical consistent action would be to insist on getting tested together, waiting beyond reasonable incubation periods and then to forgo condom use to reinforce trust. Instead, most women simply employ a cynical trust and reliance on condom use. What that tells men is that they are not trusted and that women value the option to cheat more than honesty, intimacy, and shared vulnerability. Of course this does not apply to situations where contraception is the utmost concern. But when hormonal contraception is working well, or either partner has been sterilized, the only excuse for a woman to demand continued condom use is chronic urinary infection syndrome. If the increased pleasure men derived from sex without a condom is dismissed out of hand, then eventually men will seek a different partner. Their logic will be, "She doesn't trust me so why should I trust her? Let me find a more trustworthy woman who can fulfill my deeper yearnings for connection."

Also, take into account other areas beside domestic calls in law enforcement/military, especially military where you have more definitive objectives and de-escalation is not an option in some situations. Not even mentioning the heavy machinery and weaponry that women must be able to carry around without slowing the team down. In these situations, I would say that keeping the majority of women in support roles/long distance combat roles (not necessarily just medics/nurses) would be a better option. Maybe as part of the sniping team. Less chance of close combat engagement.

I have read her book and I liked it. Having said that, this is a very complex topic that most of us desire a simple answer for and that will never be the case. People are complicated. I was a virgin when I got married at 22. I was happily married for 28 years until my wife unexpectedly left me after our youngest child graduated from college. She simply stated that we had grown apart. No infidelity, no abuse accusations, she simply wanted a different life. I was exhausted from trying to give her and the kids the life I thought she wanted. If I had ANY idea that this would happen I would NEVER have made the choices I did to wait to have sex until marriage. Here’s where it gets complicated. Because I lived the life I did, only being with one woman by the age of 50. A much younger woman I work with (who knew my former spouse and my kids) asked me out immediately after my wife left. We’ve been married now for seven years. She said it was my old school morals and sex mores that compelled her to make the first step to ask me out. She said guys like me are not in the dating pool anymore. Like I said, sex norms are complicated.

Funny thing is it doesn't matter what I write here no one will ever read this and apply to anything in their life which makes this whole comment a waste of my time. All people will hear is whatever those two in this video are talking about, that is a problem in itself. Every sentence they say should be taken with a pinch of salt. Here is what I think. Trying to generalize everything is a problem. People still think that they can ban something from happening when making it even worse because the resource becomes scarce and considered more valuable which increases consumption of that resource. Opening everything is a good thing as I believe an educated person knows what is best for him after 16 years old and all your attempts to stop the kid from doing what he learned during those 16 years is meaningless as nothing in the World will stop him from getting what he or she wants. For example, If you learn from early days as a kid that it is good to eat humans and be cannibal, they won't know anything else apart from that and consider everything else not a norm, so parenting and education is the key here. How can you hide a child from sex till 18? For 18 years you need to dodge porn, other sex attractions and finally somehow find your soulmate and have first sex in 18 years or a bit later when you actually involve the government in the equation by getting married? In an idealistic World that might work, but in reality children start practicing sex as early as they can and approach it as a skill rather than some problem we need to fix as a society. If you stop children from experience of sex, it will increase pornography consumption significantly by those children. Also sex is a driver for children to become good looking as they have an aim to make their bodies look good so the other person likes it which increases the chance of mating. If you take that part away from them early in life, you will have a child in his 40s still virgin and that is a problem. Also it suggests that parents are hiding their own sexual life from the child by making it silent or hidden which decreases the quality of that.

[@ConstantinZagorsky]

@mykewilliamsdorsey2727 you did a good thing for yourself by switching a partner early after divorce and this is healthy. An alternative would always be loving and serving a person who doesn't care that you exist.

In minute 36, while discussing instinct, I was reflecting on a powerful moment from "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," particularly the killer's speech about how people often suppress their instincts to avoid being impolite. This idea resonates with many themes in psychology and social behavior, highlighting how societal norms can lead individuals to ignore their gut feelings or instincts, sometimes with dangerous consequences. In the context of the film and in alignment with the conversation, this moment underscores the tension between instinct and social conformity, illustrating how fear of judgment can lead to dire situations. It's a thought-provoking that connects to broader discussions about human behavior and morality. Great interview as always!

But the fact is, you aren't. You can still hold your traditional beliefs and try to teach them to your kids. I agree on a lot of what Louis Perry said in this video but if I had the voice one skepticism I had was that a lot of traditional societies who enforced this monogamous rules also literally left no room for a lot of what people might've wanted to practice in their own individual lives (other religions, gay rights, equal access to general societal priviledges). Just as a random person has more rights living in the west than they might have living under an Islamic state, you have more rights under a liberal government than an average person might have under a conservative/theocratic state.

Sexuality is a spectrum. The goal should be to figure out who you are and what your needs are and to find a partner or partners that can communicate and reciprocate what you need consensually and maturely. There are women that are very sexual and independent and that brings them happiness. This person would not be a good partner for a man looking for a monogamous wife. We need to normalize wanting different things and communicating those wants so we match up with the right people. I think the disconnect is people do not communicate their intentions and that causes problems.

[@djanitatiana]

I'm a male film and TV editor, frequently cutting narrative, documentary, factual or magazine content which pretty well always requires me to constantly evaluate human behaviour for it's presenting explicit meaning and implicit or subtextual or even subconscious elements. I've done it for over 30 years in a fairly healthy career so it's fair to say I'm pretty competent at evaluating human character at different levels. Yet I find it fascinating that my wife, specifically her intuition, is still better at picking up very subtle cues of character, than me. She has a facility, which once most would have accepted as 'female intuition' which seems psychic - just an ability to guess whether a person has a dark streak, or lonely, or a bit needy, or mean with their money or any number of other traits when they've not said much more than hello. I've met many other people who have made this observation.

[@xxxxxxxx8903]

Do agree. I have this and my mother does as well. Not all women have it (or trust their instincts), but I'd still say it is a female trait. Men just aren't as attuned to subtle emotional stuff, which is what I believe we women are picking up. Like if someone has sketchy intentions, that does comes with a particular frame of mind/emotional state, which can be sensed. On the other hand, I'd say men are generally better at resisting social contagion and also better at understanding systems. Example, men understand better social reward systems and how they impact behavior. Women are more likely believe people are so inherently good that they would not exploit social benefit systems or act against common good when it benefits them.

[@firstnamelastname7708]

Seeing how many women end up in abusive relationships is one factor that has eliminated my belief in “female intuition”. It’s very believable that women are more attuned to certain small details that men aren’t, but I don’t believe women are inherently better at identifying what those details represent.

[@EmDaMo]

⁠@@firstnamelastname7708Abusive relationships are complex, and many people - especially men - judge it purely from a black and white perspective, because they don’t seem understand how an abuser can possibly be charming, generous or sweet. But that’s _exactly_ how abusers lure women in; by being charming, generous, affectionate and just an outwardly good person. Relationships rarely - if ever - start out abusive. No woman goes into a relationship willingly if she knows she’s going to get beat up or psychologically abused. It’s a gradual escalation and in most cases trauma bonding occurs. Trauma bonding makes it easier for a victim to survive within the relationship, but it can severely undermine the victim’s sense of self, their ability to accurately see danger, and impairs their ability to see alternatives to their situation. During all this, the abuser almost always makes sure to limit or whittle away their victim’s social connections, be it friends or family - even coworkers - because it means potentially losing control over this person they abuse.

[@EmDaMo]

@@firstnamelastname7708 In case you’re unaware, trauma bonding is a strong emotional connection that develops between the victim and a perpetrator in an abusive relationship. This develops because in an abusive relationship, an abuser can be frightening and hurtful, but he/she may then be intermittently kind, e.g. giving presents and affection, or even stopping the abuse for a period of time. In these moments, the victim feels a rush of gratitude and love for their abuser and feels relief that the abuse has ended. The rescuer and the tormentor are the very same person, which means the bond becomes deeper than other healthy relationships as they start to depend on the abuser to survive. Through trauma bonding, the victim can lose their own beliefs and identity and instead takes on the beliefs of their captor in order to survive. She believes that his behaviour is the result of a flaw in herself and turns inwards to try and resolve this and works harder to please him or her. Often, a victims’ sole goal becomes the abuser’s approval. Interactions with others become hollow and superficial as a result. A woman will often become less argumentative in order to survive. And once a trauma bond is established it can become difficult for the victim to break free of the relationship, because they’ve become so dependent on the abuser(socially, financially, emotionally etc).

[@firstnamelastname7708]

@@EmDaMo I think my comment came off to you in a victim-blamey way and that wasn’t my intention. I don’t blame the abused for getting abused. My point was only that abuse of women is so prevalent that I think there can’t possibly be a reliable “female intuition”. It’s not women’s fault they can’t clock an abuser or even notice some red flags, but the very fact that they don’t notice them and can’t perceive the early-stage tactics means that they are not gifted with especially powerful intuition.

No one in my life had reflected a marriage I wanted or I thought was healthy at all. If I got married earlier I for sure would have been divorced & relied heavily on my husband to make me feel better about myself due to immaturity & unresolved childhood shit. If I had kids I would have pushed my unresolved shit onto them. I have been alone because I wanted to become a better person. Plus about the casual sex thing, I’m glad I went through it because it helped me understand a lot about myself & how unstable I was. It helped me form my boundaries and to understand what I do want in a partner. My right partner will explore all my sexual desires that I’ve thought about for many years.

She didn't dismiss the cost of raising kids in the west. What she said is that one of the issues is people saying "I can't afford to have kids at the standard I'd like". People can't 'afford' kids today because they want so much more for themselves and their kids than they used to - and that is one of the main reasons that makes them unaffordable, even for people on a good wage. 100 years ago people had 10+ kids and lived in dire poverty. People aren't prepared to do that today. They want a house with two bathrooms, a car or two in the drive, multiple sets of clothes (enough clothes to last 10 years without needing to buy another item), a mobile phone each, a laptop/ipad each, a washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, multiple kitchen appliances, plumbed water, a toilet inside, overseas and domestic holidays, the latest technology, internet connection, gym membership, hair and nails done etc. It is today's standard of living that people expect (and demand) that makes having kids unaffordable.

I'm so happy to hear this conversation. It's the kind of information that ppl of a certain age know instinctively. It's good to hear the data behind it.

This is very much geared toward young, younger women. And women who want to get married. It's interesting, but is not directed at a large demographic of women

I agree. I feel like I want to be able to have consensual sexual freedom within reason (within what I define as reason) and then get married when I meet someone who I fully click with. I’m a woman btw
