This illustrates the problem I have with how we leave boys' sexual development to the haphazard and just hope that they can figure it out somehow. What about the boys who can't or don't have these experiences and learn these skills at an appropriate age?

You certainly complain about this a lot. But do you have any suggestions of how to fix this problem?

I think he keeps repeating it because he cannot and he would like others to try. This is a perfectly reasonable request / idea.

I think at this point he should be offering some trade as apparently there is not really enough people interested in trying to solve it for free.

I doubt it, it's the same pattern of behavior displayed when he complains about liberal transhumanists or the media bias against cryonics. It's a "woe is me, the world is unjust" attitude, not constructive at all. It seems to me he just wants people to commiserate with him.
