Birds now have a longer courtship than many humans!

While watching the birds in my backyard swooping and fluttering around each other at this time of the year it struck me that they take longer to copulate than humans. Yes, courtship seems to have gone the way of the dodo bird when hooking up is what the younger generation seems to be about. And courtship probably went out when the sexual revolution came in...
 

It depends on the individual, Ralphy. Many people enjoy prolonging the anticipation ritual of foreplay. Makes the end result that much sweeter. Too much insta-sex can feel like masturbation-once-removed after awhile. The sexual revelation (revolution), gave women parity with men over their own sexuality, the right to enjoy sex, while tearing down the good girls don't bs. One more step in the tearing down of stereotypical paternalistic thinking.
 
The sexual revolution may have allowed women to feel they were free to express their sexuality, but IMO it hardly gave them parity. To this day, a sexual female is denigrated by insults and questioning her morality... while men always have and STILL have the freedom to be as sexual as they wish. The old "boys will be boys" mentality is alive and well... and "look at HER... what a slut" is alive and well also.
 

By now you must know that I am a true romantic and this change in our society on the part of women disturbs me greatly...

Remember Ralph, back in the "good ole days" men were having sex with "someone".... I imagine lots of women were having sex too.. with them. BUT the attitude toward women has still not changed much.
 
Yes, the days of true love have given way to the days of true lust on the part of both genders...
 
Well, even Jimmy Carter lusted in his heart but didn't act out, but let's be realistic, men are wired to be more lustful by Mommy Nature...
 
But, remember girls, we used to have to club you over the head and drag you by your hair back to our cave.

Today, all we have to do now is try to get you into the back seat of our car after feeding you a couple of martinis.
 
Back seat of a car is little dated but, otherwise, on the money, or the bed...:D
 
One of the axioms of Humans is, and always has been, that there is no shortage of individuals whose brains are centered in their crotch....this goes for Both Genders. We see the results in the numbers of unwanted children who are born every year, and largely left to fend for themselves...or abused.
 
True, but we don't find whorehouses for women, so the lust tilt is still way over on the male side...

pleasurable experience/pastime.

As with EVERYTHING necessary to sustain and continue life. Eating is pleasurable.. Peeing is.... Defecating is.. sneezing is. I would venture say the even breathing is except that is done automatically. I suppose we only notice how wonderful it feels to be able to breathe when we can't.

Excellent point, Don. I'd also like to point out that, aside from any role-playing or moralizing that is still directed at either gender, the over-riding concern for anyone who chooses to be sexually active these days should be health. Not for one fleeting instant would I consider having sex with someone who can't provide me with recent valid documentation of a clean bill of health regarding any STD. Yes, this makes it less spontaneous. It could also save your life.
