Saying that it's time that men rediscover their masculinity will undoubtedly get you labeled a misogynist. However, one of the biggest, if not they biggest, social problem we have these days is fear of what other people think of you. Old school (pre-1990s) wisdom said that nobody can please everyone and no one is going to accomplish anything important in this world as long as they worry about what other people think. In fact, it can be argued that a large part of masculinity, is getting a job done without giving a damn about the opinions of others.
Even the most beautiful woman and all the Viagra in the world won't give a man an erection when he's feeling awkward. Making porn, is anything but a comfortable setting for Mr. Happy. Women often show up on set with her husband/boyfriend. Also common is that her spouse is somewhat hostile towards another man having sex with his wife. Add in a the presence of a film crew, angling for the camera, periodic stops in the action to take stills and having to maintain solid wood for 2 or more hours and 99.5% of men will fail. Viagra and Caverject are useless for men who can't get hard under these adverse conditions, so big pharma can't help men rediscover their masculinity.

Alpha, beta and sigma, in a world divided into generals versus corporals; it's the sigma males that are the mercenaries. Each group approaches the masculine trait that deals with other's people views differently. Alphas are leaders, so their concern is having an image that instills feelings of confidence in their command. Whereas betas work hard at showing how malleable and loyal they can be. In a properly functioning society, these men have a clearer understanding of who they are and how they're going to push back at negativity directly aimed towards them. In layman's terms, it's how they adapt and if necessary, how they stand their ground. When today's men rediscover their masculinity, they're going to find that they've been too accommodating to militant anti-masculinity propaganda and lacking perseverance in the face of their enemies.
Sigma males are rare, and they seem to be the only hope of bringing back masculinity from extinction. Male pornstars are some of the last masculine mercenaries left in the Western world, and even their numbers are dwindling. Like the proverbial canary in a coal mine, the number of quality male talent under 35 in the adult industry has been declining. Not only has erectile dysfunction increased, but the attention spans of talent have also subsequently decreased. It's happened on a not-so-infrequent basis that male talent has simply gotten bored during filming and quit before completion. Fan based platforms are a poor representation and simulation of the video porn industry, so young men rediscovering their masculinity is truly needed, for the legacy porn productions to survive.
Today, males are constantly bombarded with messages about how evil they are. That they are inherently violent, future wife beaters and potential rapists, so they retreat into themselves. Many have become social morons not knowing how to interact with others and still more are becoming effeminate. It might even be argued that there are some young men identifying as women simply because they feel that being masculine makes them bad. When the pornographers start saying that the state of things looks terrible, it's time to question what the mass media, the education system and big pharma are doing. There is a generation of males who will live their entire lives in misery unless we help men rediscover their masculinity.
