I've been noticing this as well, actually.
I think it's a global phenomena, present to a degree in all of the parts of the world affected by technology — people now have unlimited and easiest access to porn, but have become more alienated from each other day by day and therefore never get to experience the actual affection("love"). One might simply take a look at the existence of such a thing as Girlfriend ASMR, which I think tells volumes about the on-going human condition. I think, for now, it's only a small minority of global population that is affected by this atomization, and it seems to mostly affects men(compare the view on Girlfriend ASMR and Boyfriend ASMR), and particularly, I think, men of above average intelligence, as they tend to spend more time behind the "optimization center" - computer - and therefore alienate themselves at a faster rate. I even want to go as far as to say that people who are today called neets and those who are living this "low-life" lifestyle present to us a picture of the men "of the future", if nothing changes, that is(but I doubt it can change at this point).
It's a shame really. The people who care more about love than they do about sex, let's call them "sensible" people, in our age are usually the ones ending up never experiencing their so desired "love"(see the chart). In the age where masses get to scream their way into culture, we end up with most degraded and hedonistic manifestations of it.(one might simply look at any trend on any of the biggest platforms).
But I might be just trippin'
