*Not an outright ban of online pornography like Utah, but additional burdens on streaming sites: requiring users to submit valid IDs (digitally?) to prevent minors from seeing pr0n. The 'hub is already blocking VA IP addresses, and most guys don't want PII attached to our NSFW browsing histories.

Obviously, Virginia is a mix of high- and low-density communities, so there is no state-wide, uniform SMP/RMP. I happened to grow up in one of the biggest cities (Richmond) and lived and worked for over a decade in Virginia's DC suburbs (Arlington [county] and Reston/Herndon). As such, I'm interested in speculative repercussions in those kinds of areas, characterized by significant numbers of single men and women, multiple SES living in close proximity, and absolutely no "enforced monogamy" as St. JP puts it.

With fewer convenient outlets for thirst:

  • Will more men become motivated to make cold approaches?
  • Will male attendance/participation increase at speed dating events, cultural events, volunteering opportunities, and nightlife in general as men begin looking for novel and innovative gambits to get interactions with [plausibly single] women?
  • Will Title IX issues become more prevalent on campus and in the workplace as men become bolder in their interactions with female peers?
  • Will men tolerate higher levels of desirability asymmetry as they attempt to secure reliable intimacy through conventional relationships with women whom they ignored previously?

I'd love input from folks who live or have lived in regions where pr0n usage was suppressed by cultural norms, technological limitations, or government fiat.

EDIT: It's a beautiful Friday, try not to be too much of a downer. I've heard a lot of single women complain IRL and on Reddit about a marked lack of male enthusiasm and initiative, and I'd like to think that thirst necessity could be the mother of invention!
