Love Is Blind Season 7 has been underwhelming to me from the get-go, but the male contestants have grown increasingly intolerable and disappointing with every passing episode. The first batch of episodes shows the lack of sensitivity and awareness the men have when it comes to sex and all it entails.
A new batch of episodes has further intensified why some of these men need to do a quick retrospection on how intercourse is more multifaceted than just getting down and dirty. It was truly appalling to me to see a grown man talk about female sexuality and childbirth the way Stephen Richardson did on the show. He also had an audacious conversation with his ex-fiance, Davis, where he equated the pain of childbirth to the same as a man getting a common cold.
Richardson also made statements that insinuated that men treat women well in a relationship just to be rewarded with sex, which sends out the wrong message not just from the perspective of misinformation, but also from the standpoint of love and connection that the show is trying to represent.
Richardson and Davis called off their engagement because the former got caught sending explicit messages to another woman while being away at a sleep test. This is why his unwillingness to wear a condom while having sex was shocking to me.
The 'Love Is Blind' Season 7 men are committed to trapping their partners with marriage and children for their own gain. The Love Is Blind producers can jump in and encourage sex positivity on the show by introducing a segment with a sex coach or intimacy coordinator like Too Hot to Handle to prevent a repeat of ill-informed narratives on sex being preached on their show.
