Blackpill: Difference between revisions

As summarized in the [[Scientific_Blackpill#Health|Scientific Blackpill]] article, sex and relationships possibly have a number of positive effects on health. Especially loneliness seems to be detrimental to health and sex is also regarded as the most pleasurable activity of all. In one report loneliness was estimated to be as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Both excessive smokers and lonely people are 50% more likely to die prematurely than those with healthy social relationships and non-smokers respectively.

Sexlessness and loneliness are thought to have many different causes, some of economic and some of cultural nature. As local economies and businesses decline, the world grows together and economic growth vanishes, and social networks allow for social comparison with more people, people become narcissistic and highly competitive for the increasingly fewer high status positions. The result is low birth rate, coddled children who are prepared for late marriage, and women saving themselves up for the ideal mate etc. At the same time, a decline of tradition and gender roles largely driven by a push towards higher female workforce participation, as well as future pessimism and hypergamy are thought to accelerate the trend.
