The OP frames sexual loneliness as a problem. I don't think it's a huge leap to say porn is part of the reason why people are having less real-life sex. Morally I have no issue with it, but ease/speed/price are important factors in market behavior. It's why I'm more likely to flop down on the couch to watch Netflix than drive across town to watch a movie at the cinema, or listen to Spotify vs attend a live music performance. The cinema and the rock concert are probably better experiences, but streaming makes everything so easy and cheap I don't often seek out those experiences.
Porn access as a causal explanation also helps explain why we see the same problem happening even in Nordic countries where access to abortion/contraception is not a problem and parental leave benefits are far superior to the US.
- zb3 4y agosexual loneliness as a problem This isn't the root problem though, its consequences are, including how one feels. It's why I'm more likely to flop down on the couch to watch Netflix than drive across town to watch a movie at the cinema So you pick the better option, right? That's why I asked my question, the problem can't be that a better option exists, it must be something else and it should be precisely stated. The cinema and the rock concert are probably better experiences, but streaming makes everything so easy and cheap I don't often seek out those experiences. So overall they're better only if you exclude their negative consequences.
