You've not really argued against my statement. That women can get sex when they want. I agree they are more picky because they can get many different partners, likely easier these days.
By that same token, most men can get 'sex' when they want (and many more, if they actually try hard enough). But in both cases, it's often not what they would count as sex by their own personal standards. Such perspectives may differ between genders, adding to the perceived disparity. Men can be just as picky, in terms of the sex on offer being not what they want. If posters on here are to be believed, no-one really wants an OnlyFans girl...
As an anecdotal example I've had 2 female friends who when they wanted sex they got it. One used to go into the local town bars looking for the best male and would take him home to have sex with. The other one purposely picked a farmer up and stayed at his farm for the weekend. Never saw, or had any desire, to see him again.
Equally anecdotal, we used to watch girls like this doing the rounds at nightclubs and bars in London. We should have taken bets on which ones would be leaving alone.
If they appear too desperate, or are too far below the requirements of the general clientele, they just aren't winning regardless of how much having boobs should guarantee success.
For a man, if he doesn't fall into the classic physical attributes and/doesn't have the gift of gab even the most unattractive woman isn't going to be swayed by him for sex.*
Fortunately for many of those, financial and material attributes also play a factor, as do things like social status and occupational prestige. Hell, I've had girls suddenly flip from utterly ignorant of my existence, to eye-flutteringly swooning when they heard I am Scottish... and not only that, but an actual Highlander to boot. I don't (naturally) have an accent or anything, it was just someone else pointing out the fact.
This setup as happened since time began but not acted on. I suspect its more the corruption of the female mind with the abundance of porn sites.
Of course they would - The age of consent was still 16 in the 1950s and previously had been as young as 12. "Mother Nature's" age of consent would normally be shortly after puberty begins with things like bleeding, but the complexities of society has seen the age necessarily raised gradually over the centuries.
The problem is that some kids of school ages often exhibit the physical attributes that humans are wired to find attractive long before reaching the age of consent. The early bloomer types.
Ephebophilia (ages 15-19) and hebephilia (ages 11-14) have existed since Greek times (hence the Greek words for them) and have been common enough that they have their own terms for specific age brackets. The fantasies of an older lover have appealled to young people just as much as young and willing (and even inexperienced) lovers have appealled to older people, again for centuries... and transgressive fiction is almost as old as the written word. Many, such as Lolita, are regarded as classics.
The female and the male minds were already hideously corrupted.
Very few women and girls had any contact with porn material pre-2000. So they wouldn't be thinking of these porn-style scenarios.
As above, this sort of thing happened so often that in the 1800s they had to come up with several terms for the different scenarios.
'Porn' has been around as long as written words and cave sketches. The Maquis de Sade's works have been immensely popular with women, both contemporary and current. Jilly Cooper, the Black Lace novels and their ilk have similarly been popular for centuries. Women accessing 'modern' porn, with all its depravity and niche fetishes, and being the very target audiences of it has been the case ever since photography was invented.
I've been a porn connasour for most of my life to the level that I could see when certain themes became popular in porn that it eventually had a real life influence and vice versa.
Likewise, although my historical reading and research extends back to the fetish brothels of the 1300s, where pretty much any category of fetish you see listed on Pornhub was available for half a guinnea or so to the loose-pursed medieval individual, be they man or woman. The locations and proprietors were pretty well known, too. It wasn't the dark secret it became for us some time around the late 1800s, either.
If anything, we're going backward to times when it wasn't such a taboo.
One thing I noticed that when countries that are extremely religious joined the Internet that certain smaller themes increased in popularity, particularly forbidden encounters.
I'd argue that from a number of those countries also originated some of the historical classic erotica and sex manuals. They later went all religiously suppressed and are now reverting.
Porn as become a poison online because of its abundance. When I was a young man we had to go searching for it specifically. These days people have to take actions to defend against seeing it.
It's become less controlled and also harder
to control, yes.
I'd argue that's nothing to do with the majority of porn itself, but more a failing of the adult world to keep it from their children. I mean, in the 70s and 80s it wasn't ever hard to go into a corner shop and buy a handful of jizz mags, and there were plenty of shop owners who were only delighted to sell them to kids still wearing school uniform. Same for videos, when they became a thing.
Heck, if you want to see Linda Lusardi's boobs, you had only to buy a flipping newspaper. Before that, it was the underwear section of Kays, Freemans, Littlewoods and other catalogues.
*I'm not excusing deviant male because there is something wrong with a man who is thinking about sex 24/7. I'm just stating it is easier to see a downfall of depravity in men. It is also well documented in cases of illegal material that as the guy becomes more depraved until he warps his mind looking at abuse not thinking of the real world.
Neither am I excusing the deviant female, although there are plenty of good reasons why so many have such 'depraved' inclinations... and many of them would appear to be justified, rather than actually depraved.
The only rule really is that it's OK so long as everyone's having fun and not hurting anyone, including yourself (unless it's consentual). The definitions of fun, hurt and consent are legally defined, so avoid crossing that line and there's no problem.
To state for the record, in this woman's specific case she was somewhat vulnerable and easily susceptible to males initiating relations. She fell victim to their advances.
HOWEVER: As the only responsible adult in the relationships, she still had the responsibility of not crossing that line. There are channels, procedures and support provisions she should have utilised to assist her out of the situation, instead of straddling atop it.
