Interesting. Much is said about social media. Not much good usually. How do you think it has changed peoples sex lives?
In relation to women specifically and not the disintegration of social interpersonal relations in general that social media has caused, I will try to be brief.
In regards to gender relations, women crave some form of validation in one way or another. From men, their attention. In the past days of when social media was not about. A woman would only get validation from men in her vicinity, like school, work, local areas etc. On those grounds it was more likely that in receiving attention she would be flattered enough to "repay" the guy or fall his advances and actually like him which may lead onto intimacy.
Compared to now with the internet a woman can instantly get validation and a confidence boost just by looking at her phone, receiving adulation, attention and effectively body worship from men globally, without even having to do anything; just have an Instagram account and post half naked pictures.
This girl with say 1000s of followers of males showering her with attention and lust which she mistakes for adoration, off course its going to inflate her ego; like it would any human being male or female. Do you think a woman is even going to care about some local guy who she is not attracted to that much trying to have sex with her showing her attention when she has 100s or 1000s of "likes" giving her the validation of her beauty that she needs? In some cases men even send money to these women, for nothing at all.
The guys my age I don't know what is wrong with them, with some of them it's like a race to the bottom in who can grovel the most to get a girl, a girl who probably is not even that pretty in the first place. With over inflated egos and higher expectations normal guys cannot compete with the girl who has the potential reach of men globally if she is pretty enough and smart enough to leverage. That same said girl that without the internet would in a likely situation have a normal guy as a boyfriend.
There are guys that still get girls don't be mistaken, but the effort to reward ratio is just not worth it in my opinion. That same time can be better spent on other productive matters.
You have girls that are in my age range that have unrealistic expectations of guys should bring to the table and don't need to really put out sexually beforehand as long as they have validation coming in the form of guys trying to get at them via apps such as tinder, Instagram, Twitter etc. If you do manage to get that girl, you've spent time, money and emotion investment for a girl with the personality of a ton of bricks who is just pretty. Girls that have multiple options of what guys they can choose, it's all bullshit. I do not blame women, if I was a woman; I would do the same thing. You get to have your cake and eat it, well when you are the prime of your youth and are pretty that is.
There are nice girls out there, it's just that social media is turning everyone into narcissists it's not just women affected by this.
I ll put up a link of a good video that describes the ill affects of social media if you or anyone is interested in watching. This is about social media in general not related to punting at all External Link/Members OnlyI hope this helps or is of any interest. I hope this was not too long.
Long story short to answer your question, It has reduced the quality of sex lives for men but has increased the quality of sex lives for women as they have access to the "top quality" men to have sex from and every other guy that "ain't got it" loses. A winner take all scenario
