I'm not sure society hasn't changed. Was this guy getting anal or even blow jobs?

Maybe not -- which is too bad for him. This guy also never had access to Google or Amazon and was completely ignorant of a million different things that are today
taken for granted by men in an even lower social class.

Has there ever been a time in history that porn was so universally available, or sex or sexuality so openly and universally discussed?
No, of course not. The universal availability of porn is the consequence of inexorable technological progress, specifically the internet. The human being, particularly the male, has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and information and an equally unquenchable thirst for sexuality and eros. Combine those two and the emergence of internet porn becomes inevitable.

I think of all the time I think about sex and women and the availability of sex and women and I think back to a time when there was more important shit to think about and I thank God my wife is so sweet because I'm a fucking animal in this society with absolutely no restraints on images or thoughts that restrain my bottomless libido.
There is more important shit to think about
right now -- and it seems to me you're not suffering from any lack of opportunity to think about it. You spend a fair amount of time writing comments on this forum -- which is great. Owing to the magic of Google you efficiently consume and process an unimaginable bounty of information -- and at the same time you are clearly able to make enough money to support yourself and your wife. And you still have the luxury of "bottomless libido" and pussy available to satisfy it.
What's the problem? What are you so afraid of? Why do you seek restraints on your libido and reasons to feel guilty about it, rather than enjoy it for what it's worth?

Most of the time I'll fuck a hole in the closet door I'm so horny. This guy probably never got doggy and he thought he had it made.
Well -- first of all, I think this dude had a pretty good idea about doggy, that's not exactly a newfangled invention. Maybe he didn't get it from his wife, but he might well have gotten it from a whore (as well as the other things you mention). It's not like these sexual appetites were invented yesterday.
But beyond that, while this dude is a fine specimen of masculinity, there is no need to particularly idealize him in any way. He knew vastly less about the world than you or I, and his mind was necessarily much more limited for that reason. That is not his fault, of course, but it's also nothing to envy. The human being makes progress -- this is something to be celebrated, not feared or bemoaned.

Conclusion: The guy in the original article married a bitch for sure, but without doubt we live in an unnatural, unhealthy and materially different society than our forbears.
We live in a materially different society for sure -- but that's not the same as "unnatural" or "unhealthy". I think these characterizations in themselves reflect an
unhealthy sense of guilt, foreboding and fear of change and of the future.
Now don't get me wrong -- I agree that there are many things and trends that are
bad about today's society, many of which have to do with the growing power of what we call feminism. But just because some of the negative changes associated with feminism
coincided with a period of an unprecedented and ongoing explosion in the availability of efficiently organized and accessible information, and the resulting profound and irreversible progress in how human beings relate to the world, does not mean that they are the
same thing. And in fact, as DoBA pointed out in his excellent post above, the ideology of feminism is in many ways allied with humanity's most repressive and fearful instincts -- it brings to bear all the strictures and guilt of an old religion without any of its solace and beauty.
Progress and change are not the problem -- the problem with feminism and its allied ideologies is precisely their
fear of change and hatred of progress. The main way in which the 1950s, for example, were a better time than the current one has less to do with the sexual mores of the time -- whose difference from ours is somewhat exaggerated, anyway, -- and more to do with the hopeful and optimistic outlook about the future that was prevalent during that time, and that you can see watching any of the great 50s sci-fi films. The period was good because to a large extent
its heart was in the right place -- and the right place is always progress and the future. That is what has been lost to some extent -- particularly among the elites -- and needs to be regained.
