Young men are giving up on sex to play video games, study finds

Zilo88 · 2021-03-09T11:25:45+00:00

Well, yeah. My Xbox isn't going to get up one day and leave me for another player. My games are also only a one time payment.

PorkBomber · 2021-03-09T11:52:57+00:00

Good for them. The less men value sex, the less power women will have.

No STDs from a video game.

No unwanted pregnancy from a video game.

No sexual harassment or rape claims from a video game.

I don't see the problem.

Sex today is high risk, high cost and low reward.

Video games are no risk, low cost and high reward of Oxytocin.

Single players are not there to berate me on every step. Actually most games seems to be rooting for me to succeed.

The last girl I had was betting against me all the time. Don't know but it seemed that she hated me just because I loved her.

Never again.

It’s hilarious. It used to be, teenage pregnancy was a problem. Now things like that are more rare.

It used to be that sex was rewarding and people wanted a relationship. However the landscape has changed. Women waste their best years having fun. Then they want to monkey branch to a small percentage of men and wonder why 80% of women can’t all gave the top 10% of men.

To be honest, any hobby or even a career is more rewarding than a modern women. Everyone knows the high cost of being with a modern women. But no one knows the benefits. And we wonder why men would rather play video games?

We don’t even promote healthy relationships or heterosexual couples anymore. Everything is focused on the individual or being gay or trans. And we wonder why relationships or baby making isn’t happening.

Then we not only give women dozens of birth control, but we also allow them to murder their own baby... under the empowering foolishness called choice. And we wonder why there are less babies.

We promoted female education and employment at such a high rate that young girls are preferred over young boys and a young woman of the same background out earns her male peers. And we wonder why there are less people having children.

This is all hilarious!!

Just one addiction replacing another. However, your game system won't falsely accuse you of anything, nor will it divorce you and leave you penniless. The hormone "hit" probably isn't as great, but, the camaraderie you get playing with like minded guys too is pretty good.

A win.

Hell, I'm middle-aged and I have played a ton of video games this past year. I grew up with NES and Sega Genesis in the 80s & 90s but rarely played video games once I reached adulthood. Society and my girlfriends discouraged them and constantly pushed the "basement dweller" stereotype if you played them.

But I've been red-pilled and going my own way for the last few years. So I got a PS4 when the lockdowns started last spring. And I'll be damned, I'm having a blast. The graphics and storytelling are amazing with modern games. And now I have a huge back catalog to go through. I've spent hours with a smile on my face. And there's no woman nagging and yelling at me from the other room to "sTaHp PlAyInG tHaT SiLLy gAmE!"

It doesn't prevent me from being active and pursuing my other hobbies either. I still do a lot of camping, fishing, excercise, riding motorcycles, etc. But I'm glad I added video games to my list of hobbies.

The larger picture here shouldn’t be men giving up On sex to play video games. This is simply a narrative to attempt in invoke shamming and guilt.

The real story is MEN GIVING UP PURSUIT OF RELATIONSHIPS for other personal goals due to current social dynamic. That’s why MGTOW exists and the media although picking up on the trend always needs to Frame it in some defamatory way against men.

wristcontrol · 2021-03-09T13:26:24+00:00

MGTOW: "At least a video game will not be taking half of my money every month for the rest of my life."

EA: "Well yes, but actually no."

alienmuseum · 2021-03-09T13:07:45+00:00

You know if it weren't for sex being hardwired into the us, we would have given up sex a lot sooner. As they say the juice is not worth the squeeze. Too much effort and money wasted for so little reward. Think about all the hassles and headache you gotta deal with women. The only reason simps jumping through hoops after hoops chasing pussy is because they're following their biological programming to a T.

egeseastisback · 2021-03-09T18:08:19+00:00

Girls are temporary, Doom is Eternal

cjohn3b · 2021-03-09T13:27:43+00:00

Cost to play xbox and order pizza on a friday w/ guaranteed fun. $20. Cost to go on a "real date" with the modern woman who is texting 50 dudes and lining up her next date while at the table with you. No guarantee of a good time and definitely no guarantee of sex. $100+

Delifier · 2021-03-09T13:36:43+00:00

Talk to a woman and you're a creep. Not picking up on her vaguest hint and you're an arsehole not giving her the attention she deserves. Everything can go seemingly well and at one point she dreams you spanked her against her will and now you are charged with sexual assault.

httk13 · 2021-03-09T14:55:37+00:00

Well, that's what happens when society and the media cast away young boys/men in favor of girls/women.

That's what happens when the explosion of social media/dating apps means women can exploit their hypergamy and the 80/20 rule.

That's what happens when young boys see their fathers get destroyed in family courts, and their brothers destroyed by PoundMeToo.

It's almost as if all this degeneracy has consequences - who'd have thought?

QuickDrawDinoHunter · 2021-03-09T14:58:46+00:00

And this is a problem, how?

SnooDrawings1981 · 2021-03-09T11:41:10+00:00

I just cashed in 600BP for hitting Masterball Tier and got my Imposter Ditto his much-deserved Rank Master ribbon - Why would I give a fuck about some Thot?

IceyBear988 · 2021-03-09T12:39:21+00:00

If not mistaken it's been going like this since 2005 onwards.

GOOD!

rayedward363 · 2021-03-09T16:15:01+00:00

One is enjoyable, gives a sense of accomplishment, can challenge the mind, and helps you relax.

The other is sex.

I am having fun playing Pokemon gold gramps

FanofLemmy · 2021-03-09T13:41:29+00:00

Been abstinent for 4 months and I absolutely love it.

Life is so much easier and simpler.

The idiot "researchers" with their 100 IQ between all 20 of them are at it as usual... Honestly when I hear the term "researcher" or "expert" from urinalists I now think of some very stupid person who couldn't get a real job, so they stuck her in a lab to confirm that water is indeed wet, and come to some dumb far reaching reason why to fit a political agenda.

Young men having less sex and playing more video games != young men giving up sex to play video games. With the online dating, social media, onlysimps it's incredibly difficult for an average young guy to get laid, and almost impossible to get laid consistently. All women his age are chasing the Chad cock, that magical 10%. What else does he have to do but to play video games? But these mouthbreathing dipshits always have to place all of the blame oh men and video games. Video games are the only thing keeping many young men from offing themselves, because they were made obsolete and discarded by our progressive society - where what's between your legs is far more important than anything you can ever accomplish in life.

Fuck this article, it pissed me off

I think guys want an easily understood, linear, immediately apparent goal/reward system. They innately want to accomplish things, fulfill tasks, and improve. Games tap into that, you feel like you're advancing and improving in something. If we had similar mechanisms in employment, like clear cause and effect, you'd see a lot harder work going in there.

They talk up the idea of hard work, promotions, and career building, but anyone in the trenches understands it's all bunk, and only small, intimate business settings really pay any attention to your work quality, hopefully to reward it. So it's easy to just conserve stress and energy, blend in, and give it the good ol' C+. After work, dudes will just enjoy that rush of accomplishment from the privacy of their home.

And no, video games haven't replaced sex, they've replaced dating and socialization. Porn replaced sex.

ToshinRaiizen · 2021-03-09T23:35:49+00:00

Just wait until sex and video games fusion.

SwiftStrik3 · 2021-03-10T01:40:46+00:00

Pretty sure most women are bad at sex.

mythrowxra · 2021-03-09T14:37:42+00:00

Just as a heads up, MGTOW does not mean throw your time away with other useless time wasting devices.

Company who only cares about your time and money(value they can make off of you).

Ofc women are worse.

The only 100% consistent MGTOW rule is.

Manage your TIME and do whats best for you. GYOW

EEEGuba69 · 2021-03-10T01:07:35+00:00

Bruh, today i reached my first second wind with beat saber, the only thing she reached was another cock

lifeisagamble01 · 2021-03-10T09:19:40+00:00

Lowkey never been more proud.lol. Still hope things turnaround, but I doubt it.

coachbrew32 · 2021-03-10T09:21:13+00:00

As the father of a 20yo man I agree. He sees where value lies and it is with friends and challenging his brain, not females. Proud of him.

Abdul_Al_hazred · 2021-03-10T13:54:35+00:00

i have seen a 4chan post about this year's ago. question was why men value videogames more than women. answer:

how much have games improved over time and how much women?

WILLY-T-G · 2021-03-10T17:16:56+00:00

Or maybe we’re all just fat fucks lol

Young men

Giving up on sex

This is not a good thing as many here think it is, sex is overvalued, right, but it's part of the experience, and as men, our sexual drive is what gives us energy, hence why all the emphasis on testosterone and lifting in TRP.

Remember, you might be jacked, you might be earning a lot of money, you might be successful and happy, and since you're MGTOW, instead of wasting your time with women, you might be using your free time to play games.

You are the exception, not the rule. Don't assume that the others will be like that too.

Instead of young men who go out, now we can't do that either, what a joke, now we got fat fucks who play video games all day. These men will eventually meet some women, maybe at work, maybe something will happen, it doesn't matter, but the catchphrase is that they will meet a woman and start a relationship. Since they didn't learn about relationships, self-respect, self-love, they will end up as providers. It will give women much more power.

Quam parva sapientia regitur mundus.

"with how little wisdom our world is ruled"

Teach kids how to lift, how to hunt, how to compete, teach them group sports, make them read philosophy, make blood tests mandatory every year and take care of each child accordingly, make them see the world, teach them history, make parents spend time with their kids, make them write, teach them coding instead of all this virtue signalling stuff.
