In online forums dedicated to porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED), tens of thousands of young men share their struggles to stop using pornography, their progression from soft porn to hardcore and the barriers they face in forming real-life romantic and sexual relationships
.

Online addiction starts very young around 12 and create a problem of males not able to form real relationships.
 
My understanding of this phenomenon is that the person ends up training them self to be stimulated by situations and factors that are unrealistic and unlikely to occur. When the real situation doesn’t have these factors they are not stimulated or are less interested.

I can’t remember the name of the person, but I remember an account of some man from hundreds of years ago whose expectations were formed by various statutes of Greek gods and other similar figures. When his wedding night came and he discovered that his wife’s form wasn’t like those of the statutes he lost interest and never consummated the marriage. Ultimately the marriage was dissolved. I have to wonder how in shape he was. If nothing else I would expect that a realization that his body doesn’t look like the male statutes to be a clue that a woman might also not look like the statue.
 
All this is true. Porn induced ED is very real, and is causing symptoms in younger men which they should not be seeing at their age. Along with this are both neurological and physical withdrawal effects, similar to withdrawal experienced from opiates and benzo type drugs. This can be protracted, and last for many months after abstinence, making it very difficult to break free.
 
Women are going to have a hard time in the future. As technology advances I suspect more men will give up on real life relationships wether romantic or physical.
 
As AI and robotics become better and cheaper, some kind of “fully functional” fembot (to keep it family friendly here).

Or perhaps future men will be absorbed by their hobbies and pursuits such that risk/benefit of a long term relationship no longer works.
