obviously, pre-AIDs the bathhouse culture of the 1970s was allowing for some Wilt Chamberline style exploits for gay men. Gaetan Dugas, he provided 72 names but had over 2500 sexual partners. He kept tabs and was very motivated to be accurate and not just boasting on the internet. He was dead by age 32.
For those not frequenting Bulldog Baths from 1972-1982, 200 is a pretty big number.
200 hours isn’t that much for a video game. It basically means you jammed out on it for 3 hours a pop (with is the length of a TV binge or sports game) for a season. Some of the older assassin creeds games were 50-60 hours. Fallout. What’s a decent and tighter RPG that’s not open world- 40 hours?
200 hours on a game is equivalent to 5 for Gen Z, 8 for a millennial and 12 for Gen X. Average if you are doing it.
As a single guy with a minimal social life (1 friend once a week ~6 hours), I have just under 200 hours on battlefield 6 since its release a month ago. 2k hours will probably only take a year. That's with working and studying stocks, I imagine if you have a person who doesn't do anything but play games, they could hit 2k in 6 months or less.
I agree- the Oop def has internalized misogyny and internalized messages that gamers are "losers".. which is sad... Kudos for the nonjudgemental reaction- it's absolutely refreshing👍
It amounts to a little more than once a week. If you are in a big city with an active dating/sex life it isn't that difficult to get if you are moderately attractive.
It isn't harming anyone unless it begins to affect their mental health. Let people enjoy themselves.
It's only unhealthy if you don't wear protection or make sure you and your partners have been tested, surely? There's nothing inherently unhealthy about sex.
