sex is expected from everyone and there is no emotional or mental attachment to it...
the Playboy culture......notice since the Playboy culture came along that its been a slow deterioration....the "pill" and then the widespread use of abortion...
everything aimed at enabling sexual encounters without the worry of a baby...
and "Hooters" the "family" restaurant is just a prime example of our culture...
..you can take your entire family with little boys and little girls and the lesson they learn is: girls have only one value and that "value" is to be displayed openly and freely at all times for the entertainment of boys and men..
you can call it the "feminizing" of America but in reality, its been the "anti-feminization" of America, because every single "achievement" by women has been a dear cost to them.
"hooking"up the expected norm, not dating, and courting, and flowers and candy, increasingly working at a job plus raising a family and keeping the house,higher rates of divorces, higher rates of cancer and other illnesses usually associated with men, shoot, even higher insurance rates....
,..and what the Playboy philosophy pushed is now a reality ......boys and men have endless opportunities for sexual gratification....the only "cost" to them is their manhood and their souls....

I’m taking a risk here, but I’d imagine that you’re a woman.
Just speaking from the male experience, your post was generally correct until this paragraph. In the current culture, women choose the men that they’ll “hook up” with, and that means most men are excluded. A situation with “endless opportunities for sexual gratification” only exists inside a monogamous marriage, and even then, the opportunities aren’t endless, they’re negotiated. Being single for most men now means an empty apartment without any female companionship at all.
What you’re missing here is the atmosphere of quiet despair and bitterness in the lives of men facing this kind of situation. I speak with many men in their marriageable years and they tell me over and over that it is impossible to find a partner, too. It’s not just a pornfest for happy men. In fact, you could argue that porn makes the situation worse by portraying sexuality at a distance, reminding men of what they lack in reality. In any case, the only place where there are endless opportunities for men is with masturbation.
The despair of men is made even worse by the normalization of bastard children. A woman can have a ready-made family with little effort and a willing sperm donor. A man has to struggle for it. By the time the man is in his late 20s, many women have already had kids without a father, and it is interesting (anecdotally) that there are a minority of men with children from several women, thereby leaving out most of the other men. When a man marries, the expectation is that he’ll have progeny, which is eliminated when the woman comes to the marriage with a set of kids already.
What you see as fun, free, and easy is actually a slow suicide using alcohol, drugs, and video games to numb the pain. I’m doing my best to make sure that my son doesn’t experience this, but it is pervasive and difficult to battle a social trend. However, it’s nothing like a sexual paradise for men.
