It's burying the lede to suggest that young people are having less sex. The salient fact is that it's young men who are skewing this average down. Women, on average, are doing perfectly fine in the sexual marketplace, along with the top 10-15% of men. edit: The above was my reflexive response to the headline. Now that I've actually read the article, I have to say that the article is very good and quite comprehensive,…
From my perspective and direct experience, it’s widespread porn use, which has extremely detrimental effects on your dopamine system, which leads to something you might term ‘lack of charisma, confidence and vital energy’, which leads to less people having sex due to confidence/charisma issues and lack of any drive. By my experience and observation, porn is really bad for oneself, and it’s really addicting. I’m a mil…
I definitely believe you, and well aware you are not alone in the peergroup, I just personally can't imagine my relationship to porn ever winning out over real sex. Even bad sex is better than the best porn.
Because they all live with their parents still. Moving out is more expensive than it used to be and peoples expectations are different.
I work with a very large-scale UK survey that roughly covers the boomer generation: people born 1940-1970. Take a moment to guess the median lifetime number of sexual partners. . . . It's 3. Other people have less sex than you think.
Paints a different picture doesn't it?
There's a bell curve but the shape of the bell and the length of the tails can really add up to a lot of area not near the middle.

The article almost exclusively talks about the US. One reason that isn't mentioned in the article is because the US is fundamentally based on puritanism and a lot of its values, especially concerning passion and sexuality are still prevalent in its culture. The "All American" OJ and corn flakes breakfast and circumcision (used as a form of genital mutilation to prevent masturbation) by Kellogs is still practiced to t…

Now tell us the mean, mode and standard deviation, show us the 25th and 75th percentiles and break all those stats out by gender. Paints a different picture doesn't it? There's a bell curve but the shape of the bell and the length of the tails can really add up to a lot of area not near the middle.
