If you haven't heard of the Sexodus, it's a movement on the part of many (nearly entirely but not exclusively) men to give up their sexual lives with women. As technology grows, and forms of porn, and even sex robots, continuously improve, many men are seeing women as less necessary to their happiness than ever. Many simply don't wish to put up with relationships, instead opting to use masturbation to replace sex, and close friendship with other people replaces intimacy.
So, is this "Sexodus" viable?
Yes. As our society continues to grow more advanced, people are gaining the ability to focus on what they enjoy. A man's girlfriend probably won't like him playing WoW for 12 ours straight. A man's girlfriend, being a human being, will not always be open for sex whenever he wants it. A man's girlfriend probably doesn't give him full autonomy to do whatever he wants whenever he wants because, chances are, she's sane.
Masturbation has always been a valid replacement for sex, and while it isn't quite as good, many men prefer it's instant and readily availability to having to deal with female sexuality. Intimacy isn't as important to men as it is to women most of the time, and often to men a relationship with a woman is simply a combination of sex and friendship. While I don't PERSONALLY agree with this, it's certainly easy to understand why it's generally believed.
What is the potential societal impact?
Obviously, massive swathes of men suddenly ceasing to want relationships with women beyond friendship will have a massive impact. It will take away a large portion of sexually viable candidates, leaving only those who have success with women out there. Coupled with making the amount of relationship-seeking men much smaller, female competition will skyrocket. Women who do not try very hard, or constantly put themselves out there, will likely be left in the dust. It will also spark a boon in the porn, video game, and in many cases, food delivery industries.
While, for now, the movement mostly exists with basement dwellers who likely couldn't get a women if they did try, it's exploding. Many estimates say it will reach a large(if not majority) portion of the male population within 5-10 years, with a potential majority by 2030.
While I'm not a member of this movement, I certainly see its appeal. Without a doubt it will continue to rapidly grow.
