Here's a theory as to why.
For millions of years, predating even the existence of humans, the male was physically stronger than the female, and this mattered.
So, if the female wanted to have any power, she had to be smarter than the male. Females becoming smarter than males evolved over endless generations.
For eons there was a power balance between the physically stronger males and the mentally stronger females.
But now....
Physical strength is no longer important. And, the modern world is a complex social environment that females are much better adapted to than males.
And so we see for instance, college graduation rates for women racing past that of men. Which of course means that women will increasingly take the reigns of power in our society.
What will men do in this new world, which is a revolutionary new environment, even in terms of recent history?
We will stamp our feet and holler like apes on forums. We will join the Taliban and try to turn back the clock of history. We will lash out in rage and do school shootings. We will attempt to stay 17 long in to our 30s, hoping to avoid the impossible situation we now find ourselves in.
We will ravish digital women in our minds, because it's starting to dawn on real women that they actually no longer need us. They are the stronger party now, they are the breadwinner.
Sure, men could stay home and raise the kids. Except that millions of years of evolution are yelling inside our private minds that this is not what we're supposed to be doing. And, millions of years of evolution are yelling the same message inside of our mate's minds, though they usually dare not admit it out loud, because day care is so damn expensive.
What I see is that knowledge grows exponentially, driving social changes that humans can't adapt to fast enough. And, knowledge development accelerates the more knowledge that we have, pushing social change at us ever faster.
As this unfolding never ending change becomes ever more confusing and challenging, we'll see a migration in to the virtual realm, led by men. That is, men will respond to this loss of control by gravitating towards environments that promise us more control over our experience than we ever imagined was possible.
That's the context that I see porn existing in. It's hard to discuss that context though, because as soon as anybody says the word "sex" it's the human tendency tend to immediately dive headlong in moralizing and counter-moralizing etc etc.
