Food, sex, parenting… it’s now cool not to be on high speed all the time.
The Italians were the first to put the brakes on with a protest against the opening of fast food restaurant McDonald’s in Rome, in 1986. That morphed into the slow food movement, where the aim isn’t so much about intentionally procrastinating or using only slow cookers but more about doing things at the right pace, favouring quality over quantity.
Since then, the deceleration trend has spread quickly, touching everything from travel to money, technology and education. The past few years have seen the development of even more surprising slow concepts, such as these.
SLOW SEX
The slow sex movement focuses on rediscovering desire. When it comes to sex, there’s just no need to rush – in other words, no more quickies. Slow sex enthusiasts often engage in creating a cosy, gentle atmosphere, simply watching each other for several minutes, massaging each other and talking during and after the act.
