Yeah quite possibly.

But what if they've all been socially disconnected from one another, insulated in mutually exclusive perfectly tailored AI driven personalized porn? That might make actual sex too weird and complicated to engage in.

Man... I'd love to get a view of the social impacts of these changes from a 100 years or 200 years in the future.

That kind of reminds me of an old sci fi book the forever war.  The characters kept going on missions with time dilation and each time they returned home more and more time passed.  Eventually all remaining humans were genderless.  Book was ahead of its time.

And the graphic novel version was made by a belgian (Marvano) (which is how I read it).

Hello Japan.
As in most things like this it is now clear... Not weird. Just a decade or two ahead of the west.
