Most straight men want easy access to sex with attractive women. But the modern sexual marketplace doesn’t come close to meeting that demand. Especially with dating apps, where a small group of top-tier men dominate casual sex, while average guys struggle—even in long-term dating. That is essentially the central conceit of this entire subreddit; what the whole debate is about. Combine that with atomized modern life, and the result is a lot of men feeling locked out of intimacy altogether.

Now imagine a post-scarcity model: sex robots, hyperreal VR, biodroid companions, neural pharmaceuticals—whatever tech it takes to let people experience full sexual and emotional satisfaction without relying on another human being’s consent or interest.

Just like a post-scarcity economy would rewrite labor, status, and purpose, a post-scarcity sexual marketplace would upend dating, mating, romance, and social structure. On one hand, it could eliminate a lot of resentment, loneliness, and desperate compromise. It would also be great if young virgins could "practice" on a partner that would never be fecund or be sick or judge them. On the other hand, it might supercharge isolation. Romantic pursuit is one of the last things driving people to socialize at all.

Still, it might be worth it. Why should someone who’s a brilliant scientist, artist, or leader be considered “incomplete” just because they’re not sexually successful? Hunger, shelter, water—those needs are solved with infrastructure. Sex, somehow, is still rationed by gatekeeping and luck. If that changes, we could customize lovers like we choose cars or pets.
