Yeah...no.

OnlyFans “creators” are nearly all female.

Never before have young people been having so little sex—at least not since we began counting such things.

This is a good thing. Your generation (the writer) is incredibly confused. Sex does not equal love or a meaningful relationship in itself and is quite a multiplier of loneliness when not united with commitment.

Amazing that we managed to populate the entire earth before social media came along. Apparently there are ways to have sex without it, or so I’m given to understand.

“Between social media and porn and podcasts and video games, you can live a low quality simulation of what a fulfilling life would be,” says Phillip.

Now, that's a quote worthy of Woody Allen!

This thought exercise is a good thing. At least the question is now being asked.
A big part of the caution is that almost everyone who has ever posted anything has a few comments they are not too proud of.
I think soon, there will be a general Internet-Amnesty, aka
a Policy of Forgiveness for most very old and dated postings.

Since leaving home at age 17, I have said good and plenty of remarks privately that I would not want following me through life, like a gauntlet of rowdy ghosts.

There needs to be a general social agreement that most people should not be held accountable for most statements made after a certain period. Maybe 5 years.
They most certainly should not be losing jobs or reputations over it without being allowed to update their remarks.

Having to get on the track for a house and two kids used to be the table stakes for men having sex.

Makes for a very different world.

social media and porn are somewhat to blame. Kids compare themselves too much and when you compare against the best, you’re going to doubt yourself to some degree. Couple that with always having porn available which provides anyone with whatever they find to be the most attractive. So much of that and ordinary girls look ugly.

Porn addiction is real.

There are a lot of young men who are caught up in online addictions.

This lady is not an apparent Christian and has a most secular perspective.

She, and most anyone else mentioned in the article, need to get a true clue.

Hearts are not in any appropriate place, nor are their minds.

Pathetic bunch

Want to meet someone nice? Join a church or you might try a book club or a walking/hiking group

These people are in love with their screens. Human contact is too demanding

Go ahead. Keep telling yourself that porn is harmless. All of these “incels” have porn addictions and have no clue how to relate (in both the literal and biblical senses) to an actual flesh and blood woman.

Shooting fish in a barrel is no fun. People want the rush of the chase... but are too lazy to bother.
