Millennials are having less sex than any generation in 60 years

There is a perfect storm of anti-sexuality forming in our sex-saturated society:

1) Universal, unlimited internet pornography

2) Consent is increasingly problematic

3) Parental guidance has gone from bad to non-existent, replaced by the State, which delivers clinical advice, often via perverts

4) Tinder and friends aggravating the many-females/one-male harem phenomenon, shutting many males out of the sexual market

5) Kids (males, in particular) have no money. Ask Tony Montana about that.

Careful what you wish for, kids. You might just get it.

Good and hard.

I can throw my own theories into the stew:

A. Many Americans are overweight or obese. Overweight people are conventionally less attractive and thus less prone to having sex or being in a relationship.

B. Social media permeates all aspects of people's lives. Some people might opt out of having sex or relationships if they didn't want to risk the chance of it showing up on Facebook, Twitter, etc. and getting scolded by Mom and Dad.

C. Poor sexual education in school, usually via fear mongering. There's a bit of satire in the movie Mean Girls (2004) where a sex ed teacher says, "If you have sex, you will get pregnant, and you will die".

I'm not sure if I buy the idea that porn has that much of an impact. Porn in some form has been around for quite a long time.

I don't think this really effects people's choices. Anecdotal, but I have not once ever heard of any man in real life stating any real concern this could happen, much less describing it as a reason to avoid sex.

It's an incredibly rare event -- there aren't hordes of women out there having sex and then taking it back and ruining the lives of men. There is a tiny, tiny number of pathological ones who have almost no effect on the behavior or culture of the rest of society. Most people haven't even heard of a single person who it's happened to. And it's always something that happens to someone else, and could never happen to you (you aren't a creepy rapey guy, after all), until it does. It is less likely than unluckily sleeping with someone who has AIDS, and having it transmit to you through a condom, or getting struck by lightning mid-coitus. All totally actionable reasons to avoid sex.

And you almost certainly won't become a sex offender. You could get expelled from your university if you are a student.

I would counter C, in that arguably sex education in school is infinity more thorough now than it was 60 years ago. If anything this shows that more sex-ed lowers sex. Also porn 'in some form' has been around for a long time but there is no way you can argue that is has ever been as ubiquitous or insane as it is now.

Only some overweight people fit that description, I certainly don't. You can be reasonably active, go out, and eat pretty sensibly and still have trouble managing your weight.

Still even the more couchpotato types are sexual people and should naturally end up forming dating scenes even if the theory of segregation turned out to be strongly true, excluding people who lose their libido due to depression etc.

(ftr, I see lots of couples with mixed body types but I'm not a millenial or living in the US)
