Sexual capitalism is a problem in western societies which explains all the single unmarried men skyrocketing amongst the population. Sexual capitalism plus radical feminism has become very toxic for society.

Then get off the internet, quit talking to other women I should be interacting with, and spend time with your wife.

You seem surprised that married men like discussing philosophy, why is that? :clown_face:

You’re not philosophy. You’re a pseudo-political loser creep.

“Says the guy turning ILP into MTV”

From Madam Wong’s to Starwood. To the Whiskey on the Strip. You can hear the crashing, blasting strum of bands that come to be real hip and get a record contract from a talent scout someday. They’ll sell their ass, their cocks and balls. They’ll take the check 'n walk away…

For somebody who talks about love a lot here or the power of love you’re definitely the most judgemental.

…you could use a lot more judgment.

The central problem with pornography, at least in how it disproportionately affects men, is that it taps into and amplifies a dimension of sexuality that is heavily driven by visual and voyeuristic stimulation. While women can certainly experience attraction through watching or imagining sexual scenarios, the male sexual imagination is, on average, more visually oriented, and thus more susceptible to arousal through the mere sight of nudity or sexual activity. This is not a moral judgment but a recognition of well-established differences in how sexual desire often operates across genders.

This tendency becomes particularly significant in the case of young men, especially those who are pubescent or involuntarily celibate. For them, the discovery of the female body can function as an overwhelmingly strong trigger of desire. Since pornography provides this stimulus in a highly accessible, exaggerated, and virtually unlimited form, it offers an intoxicating surrogate for real-life intimacy. In this way, it exploits rather than cultivates male sexuality. The screen becomes a substitute for relationships, reducing sexual desire to a stimulus-response mechanism rather than an interpersonal bond rooted in attraction, affection, and mutual vulnerability.

Pornography therefore “short-circuits” the developmental task of integrating sexuality into a fuller framework of intimacy, empathy, and patience. What begins as a natural, curiosity-driven response to the body is amplified into a hyper-stimulus that asks nothing of the consumer—no courage, no conversation, no learning how to read emotional cues or develop confidence. This creates a feedback loop: as men learn to outsource sexual gratification to voyeurism, they may find genuine encounters with women more daunting, not less, thereby reinforcing isolation and even deepening frustrations that often underpin involuntary celibacy.

Women are not immune to these dynamics, and some are also drawn to voyeurism and visual depictions of sexuality. But for many women, desire often orients more strongly around context, narrative, or emotional connection. This difference means that pornography, as currently produced and consumed on a massive scale, disproportionately caters to and exacerbates the vulnerabilities of male sexual psychology.

In short, pornography does not merely reflect preexisting sexual tendencies; it magnifies one of the male psyche’s most intense drivers—voyeuristic desire—while bypassing the relational and ethical dimensions of sexuality that lead to human flourishing.

And yet you want to be in a relationship. No you don’t.

I wonder how this is measured. Is it based on merely anecdotal opinions? It kind of feels like “What is it like to be a bat?”
