There’s an “s” in “AskReddit”. There’s also one in “Sex”. Two words sharing a letter is cool, so we people in this sub decided to celebrate that by obsessing themselves with sex questions.
Um, maybe because it is a highly enjoyable activity? LOLOL. Food and sex are two of the most highly discussed topics across any broad scale message board you can think of, not just here.
It’s human nature to be horney. No point having something you aren’t ever going to use. And, denying one’s self happiness, only causes stress. Just be who you are. If you like sex, then fuck.
If you want a serious answer, it’s a topic that a lot of people don’t feel comfortable talking about out loud/in person, so they likely feel more comfortable asking questions related to sex here where they can be somewhat anonymous about it.
Some topics are easier to discuss in an anonymous setting as well. Not everyone feels comfortable talking about these things in real life. Asking questions about sex that may make you seem ignorant or when you fear judgement from others is easier on Reddit.
I’ve been wondering the same tbh OP. I know sex talk is easy for engagement but I don’t remember this subreddit ever being swamped with sex questions to the same degree it is now. Literally every time I open reddit I see 2-3 AskReddit threads about sex on my front page. Reddit has always been horny, maybe I’m looking back through rose tinted glasses, but I swear this subreddit had a lot more varied and interesting conversations when I was in college (like… oh god 10 years ago).
It’s not an AskReddit thing, or a Reddit-specific hing, or even an internet thing.
Humans are horny. Always have been. There’s sex hieroglyphs in Egypt, there’s dick graffiti on the walls of Pompeii. Japan still has a big erect penis festival that’s attended by whole families.
Averaged over the whole human race, we’re a bunch of horny apes wearing clothes. We like sex, including talking about it. No shit an anonymous discussion board is going to have many sex topics. Biologically it’s the reason you exist – to have sex and continue the species.
Plus many people on here are young or from cultures where you can’t discuss it openly. But mostly I feel like people just like sex, it is pretty great.
Obsession because it’s frequently asked? I think it’s because it’s still taboo or awkward to talk about it in real life. So people seek answers and relatable experience among strangers to feel less alone about being a furry.
I have been on reddit for nearly 20 years. My original account was created months after the site went live.
It has always been this way. If there are three subs known for anything, /r/pics has always been known as the lowest quality content on the site, /r/funny is known for being exceptionally not so, and /r/askreddit is known for lonely dudes asking who has sexed the best sex.
Once, maybe ten years ago now, /r/askreddit tried a week free of sex based questions and it was the best the sub has ever been.
Trying to get clarity probably ,I mean who really,really gets taught about sex 100 percent ,you get a talk about this or that ,but knowing everything could help in life ,I had to learn the hard way,,lol
It’s something not everyone is taught and a lot of people are curious on certain things. Everyone’s opinion on it is different and sometimes people like to hear if they have similar opinions or different ones. It also helps people who may feel shameful of something that happened during it and they want to get that clarity.
Because this subreddit is basically 70% introverts, 20% incels, and 10% people who think they’re just “observant.”
It’s not a community — it’s a support group with Wi-Fi.
The only reason you’re able to type this is sex. Without sex, you wouldn’t be here. Every living creature on this planet can relate to sex. Whether it’s done for pleasure (humans, and dolphin’s so I’ve heard) or natural instinct, it’s necessary to continue the survival of one’s species, sex is universal. To fuck, is to continue one’s self. It’s something every living being can relate to.
Comments
Apparently people enjoy it. The best counter to it is probably to try to generate discussions on other subjects.

You really asking this? I’m guessing you just joined Reddit
Man is addicted to what he does not have.
Karma farming. Sex sells
People enjoy it a lot
Without it, the human race would end…. So fair enough ig

Horniness
What are you wearing?
I mean, have you tried it? It’s the best!
Horny people are horny.
The Olympics are comming… Duhh!
Because you get quality answers from them sometimes; like the guy who thought he had a scat fetish. Major emphasis on thought.

Let’s be honest, nothing boosts engagement like a little sexual tension.
Well, huh, might as well ask why is a tree good? Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good?
Dear women of reddit whats the sexiest sex you ever sexed?

To be expected, really…
I think most of the time it’s teenagers or young people in their 20’s. Most older people enjoy it still but not obsessed with it.
Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it
It’s fun
Take a nice runy shit on your lovers chest. Could save a ton on your heating bill.

If humanity WASN’T obsessed with sex… It would end.
It’s #2 on the list behind staying alive.
Everything else is peanuts.
The users here are human.

There are a lot of guys on here who will likely never have sex. They have to learn about it somehow.
don’t forget politics too 😉
Sex is good
Because they are not getting any
Maybe because many posters come from countries that don’t teach sex education.
Horniness and karma farming
What else is there in life aside from sex and food.
*society’s obsession with sex
Oh how the tables are calling the kettle black and can no longer go back
Thoughts of sex bring out feelings of anxiety. People need to be reassured and comforted.

The fact that you created a post centered around it only propagates it further. The machine needs fuel to continue operating.
Ask Reddit those sex questions or ask people in person these sex questions. Which one would you pick?
What’s with Reddit that attracts prudes? Oh wait, it’s Reddit.
People have sex and are intrigued. Isn’t there over a million people that use reddit?
Obviously people have become addicted to my product, a common unintended side effect of Sex.

Humans are on here
I honestly hadn’t noticed there was one, I haven’t really been paying attention.
It’s Reddit.
I heard it gives great pleasure
People can get away with asking and people enjoy answering.

People are gross/horny. Same thing lmao i am also gross.
There are just a lot of curious virgins and singles in abstinence here, accept it:D
Its kids.
Edit: wait… that’s gonna get taken the wrong way.

Just seeing the totally unpredictable and weird questions that get asked. I mean it’s a diverse world out there..
It’s normal for a human to be obsessed with sex. It’s why we exist. Eat, sleep, sex. Those are the only true purposes of life.
Lack of possession of sex.
Fianally, someone addresses this. ThANK YOU.
