Thanks for posting that image user. I was meaning to post the same compilation of graphs, but got carried away.
>I think another aspect to look at this issue from could be the rise of "biological" appeals to promiscuity,
Oh, it absolutely is. I should've delved into Kinseyism more, because that's right where this shit starts.
On a side note, Western Literature used to shame this kind of stuff. Humans were supposed to aspire to be "higher" than humanity, and people who "sunk" into the realm of beasts were reviled.
I'm sympathetic to guys that get sucked into that line of thinking, because from a purely secular perspective, it makes sense in the short term.
However, unfortunately, once you consider long term implications (male pair bonding, the need for a permanent underclass of whores, etc.), it quickly loses its luster.
Studies to indicate that male promiscuity is less damaging than female promiscuity, but that's really not the best line of defense.
More over, I'm typically an advocate of men reasserting their dominance and taking back up the mantle of leadership in society. In short, to fix women, we have to fix men.
>Curious to hear your thoughts on the role of pornography in the sexual revolution.
It certainly helped spearhead the sexual revolution (Playboy was a big offender in its early stages, even before the bunnies went nude). I typically advocate against it, as it is part of the "coalition" of the sexual revolution.
That being said, I don't see it being as big of an issue as the "No Fap No Porn Crowd." I've seen their evidence and I do get it, I'd personally recommend forsaking porn entirely to other people; however, there's a part of me that dislikes the amount of effort that gets spent on porn.
Don't get me wrong, it's bad and serves as a vehicle for sex positivity and permissiveness, and it certainly helped to kill the remnants of Western shame culture, but I feel the effort would be better spent focusing on the real thing.
