Yep. When men don’t have female companionship, due to most women disdaining “average” men in favor of chasing the same small group of desirable men, then the men who aren’t in the small group of desirable men turn to other ways of getting sexual satisfaction.


The Internet with dating & hookup sites has made this 1000X worse than it used to be.

The article hits the mark. The Japanese system was designed in the 1950s and 60s to thrive and dominate in the 1980s — but the world moved on, while Japan ossified. Nevertheless, Japanese society remains capable of rapid, radical, reformist changes from above that could revitalize its economy and culture. It remains to be seen though if the necessary leadership and ideas will emerge.

Internet nonsense based on dating app data and blog chatter, not real data from valid sources like the General Social Survey.

Men use porn because they want to and like all sin behavior, it's dysfunctional and leads to greater unhappiness. And as always, blame someone else for their behavior.

It’s total BS.

Porn use does not provide feelings of validation and being loved, so it is a poor substitute. In fact, it ironically does the opposite.

I found a 1980s made in Japan digital Casio watch in my late father’s junk drawer. Put in a new battery and it works just fine.

I agree it is a poor substitution. All attempts to feed oneself that is not God centric is a poor way to do that.

It is no different than a women who sleeps with multie men for attention.
