Men also have less testosterone, so they have become more feminine.

Multiple factors but easy access to porn via smartphones is a big one.

This does play a large role, for sure.

It's not even that. It lowers sex drive entirely.

Stress + obesity are libido killers, especially in men (who instigate sex more often than women). Modern society has a ton of them.

Additionally, and unrelated to the above, at least 1/3 of men are completely cut off from even attempting romantic relationships.

While most of that can be said it’s why it’s going that way. Those women are lowering themselves and men are not wanting to have that as a long term partner. That still doesn’t account why in a household the birth rate in America and Asia has dropped below average levels of even 20 years ago.

#METOO rendered men cautious of even approaching women.
Men don't want to end up in a viral video for being a "creep" for asking a girl out.
Don't even think about asking a coworker out or end up in HR for harassment.
They've also watched too many male friends/relatives get destroyed by divorce.
Dating used to be natural, but women killed that natural process.
Plus most women today are obese and have bad attitudes, it's slim picking out there.

Men see very little reward & a whole lot of risk

I dont believe porn is the major factor.
Women in general dont like men as much and have become ultra entitled and men have started to avoid women and their BS attitude and unfair laws.
This divide between the sexes couple with the need to work more jobs to make ends meet are impacting things.

Well, we can't say we weren't promised a sex strike by prog women and men when Roe v Wade was overturned.

Our modern society requires instant gratification with no effort. Dating takes a little effort, so porn and fapping is the choice for today's immascualted males. Not to mention white women are off their fricking rocker.

Geez


At that age I had sex several times a week. Going 3-4 weeks without was a dry spell that required standards to temporarily lower

Obviously there can be some reporting variances. Perhaps women not having sex weekly are less willing to admit that (if married)?

On the other hand, we have (because of heraldry, research into royal and noble lines, etc., combined with modern DNA methods) fairly compelling evidence of about a 10% false paternity rate going back to before recorded history.

Couple that with the other factoid that, throughout the history of the species, only about 40% of men have reproduced while with women it is almost 90% and you do the math. (Now this is more complex than simply "women be hoes" - you have warfare taking scads of young men out of a society before they get a chance to reproduce and, sorry ladies, death in childbirth doesn't begin to even that out historically. Also, there were periods of time where it was very skewed, 17 women reproducing for every 1 man for stretches of our history as a species and not all of that was, strictly speaking, consensual on the part of the women).

That "10% false paternity" thing is an eyebrow raiser, though.

This. I think regular porn showing regular sex wouldn’t be too bad but the hardcore stuff should be banned.
