An article normalizing the rape culture idea that men can’t control their impulses and simply need sex. Um, no. These NBA athletes are adults and should be able to contain themselves for a few months while quarantining in Florida.

I've yet to hear about women going on rampages or throwing tantrums due to a lack of physical or sexual contact. The article says "humans need it," guess that means women aren't human? 🤷

Side note: if hugging and touching reduces stress and cortisol then why don't they just hug and touch each other? Why do women have to solve all men's problems??

It is truly amazing how men can get away with the "my hormones!" And women are vilified if they said this. We live in a manbaby culture. The best we can do is hold people who think like this accountable - do not date or put up with manbabys/pickmes. Do no allow their bologna manbaby excuses.

If this is a legitimate complaint from players and not just this dude trying to get attention,then those guys are the biggest 🤡🤡 in existence. They are seriously going to risk their health, their partner's health and the health of the staff to just get laid. Smh. Those players are quarantining in a huge place, with amenities I didn't have access to even pre Covid and they still get paid, so they don't have to worry about anything. I also quarantined for three months. During those three months I had to share a room with my sister. We were living with our parents. We had up to six hours a day Skype college classes and our mom was also working from home so we had to share both space and internet. Our dad only went to work every other day and was concerned about the possibility of wage cuts. There was a curfew and a necessities only law, so we couldn't leave the house, except for short walks. The house quickly started feeling too small, we couldn't see anybody. Not even my grandmother who lived in the house above our own. Only mom was allowed to visit her because she was at risk. If my family could do it, these guys should be able to do it too

The fact that LBJ is the cover for this story is mystifying. He's married to his high school sweetheart, is a wonderful father, and a huge BLM activist. I've been noticing lately how HVM are smeared whereas LVM are praised, their behavior excused/given the benefit of the doubt, normalized, etc......

Wtf with that article, men aren't owed sex. It's sad to think that even a simple thing like not raping women is seen as too much to expect from men.

Well, it's sad that the bar for men's behavior is set so low (like, don't rape; be a human being. That's it. Unrealistic expectations apparently.) and that even with that bar set that low, men are still incapable of reaching it. You'd think not raping wouldn't be that difficult.

Shouldn’t the majority of men be insulted by headlines like this? I’d honestly rather have this trending and them discussing how degrading it is to be reduced to basically animals, but no, it’s always some braindead askmen post trending or a woman getting curb stomped for jabbing a finger at a man labeled justice
