Somewhat strangely, this makes me think of something Dijkstra wrote[1]: Technology is expert at inflicting radical novelties upon mankind. Nuclear weapons and the pill are examples from the last 50 years; so is in my opinion the automatic computer, and this not so much in its capacity of a tool —in that capacity it causes only a ripple on the surface of our culture— as in its capacity of a challenge that is absolutely without precedent in the history of Mankind. While no doubt screens and porn and so on are contributing factors, it’s probably worth considering the sexual impact of near ubiquitous intentionally taken sexual endocrine disrupters. In my personal experience women who go off the pill have marked increases in libido. Of course that’s anecdotal, but the plural of anecdote is data.
