Modern humans have been around for 200 to 300 thousand years.

it wasn't until mere 12000 years ago that the majority of humans opted for agriculture (of course long before that proto-agriculture existed). after the agriculture became the default mode of subsistence, humans no longer had to risk their lives to hunt for dangerous animals, which enabled specialization, where the surplus of food enabled some group of people to become non-farmers such as soldiers and scholars, which eventually led to the invention of writings and the emergence of state, which then led to autocatalysis of technological improvements that lead to today.

Throughout human history, men were able to use the power of technology to surpass nature's flawed architectures and all the caprice and unfairness that comes with it.

the invention of writing and letters enabled us to store and propagate far more information than our human brain could ever remember or store.

the invention of automobile helped us to surpass the best mode of transportation that nature provided to humans: horses.

harnessing the power of electricity enabled us to create god-like technologies, starting with light bulb, then the transitor, personal computer, mobile phone, and we are on the verge of entering VR/AR era, which I believe will then be followed by transhumanism, where we merge with the machines to become cyborgs.

Likewise, I'd like to argue that men will soon invent technology that will surpass nature's current architecture of the male-female gender dynamics, where men have to compete for an attractive woman, court her, and then produce offsprings with her. (Biologically, due to reproductive cost, evolution has shaped women to be much more selective than men. )

Due to the emergence of social media and online dating, this current gender dynamics between men and women shaped by nature through its arbitrary yet flawed architecture have been amplified.

When you look at the process of a man pursuing a woman, whether in real life or through online dating, you will find striking parallel to how our hunter gatherer ancenstors put an enormous effort to hunt for food.

man has to go through hundreds of profiles to secure a date with an attractive woman, which may or may not lead to a relationship. the funnel is dismal for the vast majority of men. only 1/10 of likes turn into matches, and 1/10 of matches turn into 1st dates, and 1/10 of first dates lead to relationships, and 1/10 of relationships lead to marriage, and more than half the marriage fail in divorce. modern men risk their mental health during this process.

likewise, our hunter gatherer ancestors had to spend their entire days searching for food, sometimes going hungry for days until finding something to eat. similarly they sometimes had to risk their lives when their options for food were limited.

only a very handful of men can secure a date with very attractive women. just like only the most powerful group of hunters can hunt mammoth or bears.

the process of finding food is very arduous, where you have to spend the entire day walking through the plain, sometimes in the scorching heat or in the middle freezing cold, then when you encounter your prey, you have to fight it through a difficult process, risking your own life.

Likewise, modern men get ghosted most of the times out of the blue, and then they have to put an enormous effort to secure a few dates with a woman hoping it will lead to sex or relationship.

This flawed architecture that nature shaped through its caprice will be surpassed by the power of technology, as men have always done so.

I will argue below that future technology will allowe men to satisfy their sexual needs and eventually desire for companionship and intimacy with women without having to go through this arduous process, just as agricultural revolution allowed each of us to buy our meals at Walmart or through doordash.

Here are my predictions of how it will unfold from today to the end of this century and how it will first surpass 1) physical sex with an actual woman and then 2) companionship and intimacy with a woman

magazine porn - replicates 5% of the the physical sex with women (1950s-60s)

VHS porn - replicates 10-15% of the physical sex with women (1970s-1990s)

HD internet porn - replicates 20-30% of the physical sex with women (2000s-2010s)

8K VR porn with fleshlight - replicates 40-50% of the physical sex with women (today this is the most advancte technology)

-- around 2030

5) light field VR porn will become available. this is the next media format after 8K, where you will be able to move around and closer to the woman in a limited freedom of movement (you can't yet fully walk around the room but can rotate your head to see the side of the person and get closer to the person, etc.) -> this will replicate about 60-70% of the physical sex with women.

-- around 2035-40

6) we will see torso dolls with embedded sensors and self-heating and cleaning capabilities that can be synced with VR/AR goggles, when the user wears a VR/AR goggle, it will overlay either a pre-recorded real life human actress or CGI generated human actress over a torso doll, and it will be able to respond to your physical movement, such as thrusting or about to penetrate and such.

This will replicate about 80-90% of the physical sex with women

around 2040-2050

7) we will see a sex robot with animatronics capability that can replicate all the movements within the context of sex. it won't have human level intelligence and the ability to navigate the world freely, but it will be able to walk around, switch positions by itself, and change facial expressions through animatronics. with the embedded sensors, it can also be synced with VR/AR goggles and overlay any model of any real human woman or any artificially generated woman.

== this will replicate 100% of the physical sex with women and is the point where sex work will be killed

around 2060-2080

8) with the power of AI, combined with holographic image capturing technology, we will be able to passively record our surroundings, where we can capture a fully walkable environment (volumetric video). not only that, with the power of AI and computer graphics, the video will become interactive. imagine a 2d youtube video, where you talk to it, and it responds back to you. so if you have a volumetric video recording of you interacting with your coworker or any random hot woman you run into in the street, AI will recreate that scene, assign interactivity to it, so that you can actually talk to them and they will respond to you, and you will be able to sync this AI powered model of the volumetric recording of the real women to the robot doll technology mentioned in the previous step.

== this is the point where companionship/intimacy is getting simulated and even being surpassed.

around 2090-2100

9) we will likely have a fully autonomous android robot with human level intelligence -> this is where most men will opt for the robot than with real women.

Remember that the desire for companionship and intimacy is just a set of really complex neural signals that modern technology cannot fully decode, but will be cracked by 2100.

In the 22nd century, beyond the companion robot stage, we will have fully reverse engineered the human brain such that the desire for companionship/intimacy can be satisfied instantly or even turned off, even, we might even unlock access to different states of consciousness or intelligence that would far surpass men's desire for companionship and sex, and will look at them as we look at monkeys and dogs, as we as a species start to look beyond the earth towards the stars as transhuman cyborgs
