Our friend group has always been pretty open about sex and relationships but lately when we hang out there's this weird competitive thing happening where people share intimate details like they're keeping score, and my partner and I both feel like we're either oversharing or being judged for undersharing. What used to feel fun and supportive now feels performative and it's making us question our own relationship.
More people experience this than they realize.
A community that once offered authentic intimacy has become a stage for erotic performance, and the gap between private truth and public sharing is creating isolation.
