Yes

I think you hit the nail on the head. Where is the money coming from? How do they make money?

[johniegrad]

But let’s be honest here. Are today’s western women really of a high enough quality after a lifetime of feminist propaganda, along with the usual female entitlement mentality, to expect a young guy waste his time and money on trying to find the one that isn’t a nut?

Yes.

It has been known for some time that one of the greatest general dissatisfactions women have with their marriages is the loss of intimacy in the relationship. I see this all the time in my practice. As a rule, watching pornography is a major factor. Stopping the practice is a major part of preparing the groundwork for restoring the relationship. Some men are not willing to stop, and the marriage goes from bad to worse. Neurological studies have confirmed on the micro level that like addictive substances, habitual exposure to pornography rewires cortical pathways, which then bypass other objects-- like partners in real life.

It has long been a rule of thumb in counseling that when reality goes up against fantasy, fantasy wins every time. Nowhere is this more true or more damaging than with habitual use of pornography.

I’d like to see Mike Huckabee start talking about this, it would be a good issue for him.

I know quite a few women who are not as you describe.

Eventually, technology will allow for a full blown, on-demand sex simulation, which will be indistinguishable from the real thing.

See "Demolition Man."

BTW—Have you ever heard of Tinder? It’s quite the rage among Twenty-Somethings. I don’t think young people are having less sex—they are just doing it differently. Less dating, less commitment. Eventually, many of these will want to settle down, but it probably won’t happen until they are in their mid-late Thirties.

Is that good? Yes and no. I got married when I was 25 and am still happily married. Though sometimes I was I had waited longer.

I am aware of Tinder. Tinder now, bars in the seventies and eighties, all the same. Bad for emotional health and long term relationship prospects.

[rbg81]

While bars were not great, it was a far more social process. With Tinder, all it takes for a hookup is a few lines of text.
