Naturally people are motivated by their sex drive, so there are some related consequences. You may be less interested in dating, marriage, hygiene, and prosocial behavior.

I’d be surprised if that’s true. Do we have any data on this or is this just “seems to make sense” stuff.

There are anecdotal reports of antisocial behavior, erectile dysfunction, etc in many small communities. I think yourbrainonporn.com is a good primer and rebootnation is a forum with people trying and failing to stop masterbating even to their own detriment. Make your own decision though.

Yep the best way to start a new moral panic is by recycling tired tropes from an older one (drug / weed panic of the 90s).
