Yes, I think porn plays a role. Real-life girls and women aren’t as visually exciting next to an airbrushed, photoshopped, surgically-enhanced woman. There’s no relationship issues or possibility of rejection involved.

As for the girls, I’ve read studies suggesting that athletic girls are less likely to be sexually active. Teens with such structured after school hours don’t have time for the dating game, just like the girl mentioned in the article. Also, athletic girls tend to enter puberty at later ages than overweight girls.

It's not that. Guys-in general-are lazy, love instant gratification, and lack self confidence. It is much easier for them to just watch porn for a few minutes and go back to what they were doing then to actually go out there and meet someone or risk geting rejected. Plus, the computer never nags at you, cries, defies logic, or holds you accountable for your actions.

Don't get me wrong. I am old school and went out and got the greatest, hottest woman on the planet-and she is to the right of me on amost every issue (She's Cuban). But that was before the personal computer.

I met her on a blind date. If-way back then, I had the option of staying on the coach I probably would have. Instead, I had to leave the cave and get me a woman.

I certainly never wanted to get married or have children but the Secret Committee of Women Against Carefree Single Men saw that I had escaped their notice and sent their top agent after me. I never stood a chance. Next thing I knew, I was a productive citizen and a proud father.

I think Western Civ would be better off without computers and X-boxes. Lots of young men I know are shut ins and keyboard warriors.
