Seeing comments about the dip in interest in the WNBR in recent years, makes me wonder when people think the best time to be alive has been, for gentlemen of our particular cultural persuasions.

I guess a lot of it will be generational, younger people won't know too much about earlier times but maybe the stories they hear here will mythologise them? Maybe for everyone it will be whatever era they lived through in their teens and 20s, when they were young and life was exciting and possibilities lurked everywhere? Perhaps the ever increasing sophistication in technology means that regardless of what we have lost, unlimited access to everything today more than makes up for it? Or maybe the very ease of access normalises and demystifies the experience of sex and nudity, taking away the excitement; mainstream movies and TV shows becoming more explicit, porn going mainstream, which leads into the over-commercialisation of everything so that even the girl next door is trying to make a buck on Onlyfans?

I don't know, so I made a poll. But I'm more interested in comments and reasoning than just numbers, which probably won't inform me much anyway. I don't want to lead people with my own opinion just yet but I'll chip in later if the thread doesn't plummet like a rock.
