ROOKE: When Did It Become Acceptable To Publicly Discuss — In Detail — Your Sex Lives?

The immoral hoards who make up most of our modern society have forgotten the beauty of private intimacy.

The barrage of media glorifying hook-up culture wears down the societal defenses that – in normal times – would protect men and women from the humiliation of talking about the most private moments of their lives to a public audience. Every tender detail that 10 years ago would have felt taboo to talk about publicly is now openly discussed on podcasts, music, and television. Our nation’s entertainment industry is essentially running a softcore porn business through its constant promotion of casual sex.

One of the top-performing podcasts to come out of the Barstool Sports media machine is the “Call Her Daddy” series. The female host got paid to talk about her sex life in front of a public audience. The description of her recent Aug. 15 episode shared that she would be talking about the multiple athletes she had had sex with, including an “NHL player with the largest curved penis known to man.” (RELATED: ROOKE: You Don’t Need To Spend A Full Decade Getting Blackout Drunk And Sleeping With Strangers)

“Alex is here with her BFF Laren to spill all of the hilarious stories from her college days in Boston. These two don’t hold back – they share their own Boston shenanigans, including a trip to Planned Parenthood and Alex’s not-so-fun encounter with chlamydia. The girls answer some questions from Daddy Gang and discuss how to handle age gaps in romantic relationships, how to have a conversation with a co-dependent friend and what it actually means if your boyfriend won’t go down on you (cough cough…he’s a misogynistic fuck). Prepare for an absolute ride that takes you on a journey down Big Al’s Boston athlete memory lane.”

It’s important to remember that her father is a recurring guest host on her podcast, and she is engaged to be married.

In 2021, she was able to sell her war stories to Spotify in a $60 million deal. Our culture rewards degeneracy. The only lesson to learn here is to continue selling yourself. If you want to keep your intimate life private, you have to be willing to give up the instant gratification of a large audience and the payday that comes along with it.

The prevailing logic is that there is no reason to care about keeping that area of your life confidential. Most people discussing their sexual activity have been with hundreds of people. The act itself means nothing to them, so keeping their sex life in the bedroom feels like an old-world concept.

Living this way is a cycle of misery that leaves men and women searching for stable love and only finding fleeting pleasure. When the media pushes casual sex as a healthy alternative to a loving marriage, it encourages the pain to continue. Impressionable young adults consuming the content see no reason not to believe that this is how typical adults act and imitate the behavior in their own lives.

Men see women as something that can be commodified, while women see men as the purchasers of their pain. And if you point out this undeniable fact, the sex peddlers claim you hate fun. If only they knew true unbridled intimacy can only grow between two people in the sanctity of their marriage. The bond between a man and his wife creates the opportunity for shared secrets. Confidence and trust in one another builds over time. Despite how progressive our world has become, men and women will always long for a deeper connection than fleeting pleasure allows.

Our society sells momentary pleasure as the epitome of sexual love, robbing men and women of the foundation to make a loving relationship work. When something is special and worth protecting, you don’t share it with the world. At some point, we decided that the intimacy between men and women is meaningless.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
