Younger Americans are having less sex

In my defense, they aren't my blood cousins.

Do you understand how "cousins" works?

 

[fncceo]

Let's be fair... NO ONE could have as much sex as we did in the 70s and 80s... between disco meet markets, and cocaine... those two decades were a non-stop schtupp.

I have two hot cousins who are constantly doing selfies. It's so unattractive. Makes them look like they are fakes. No lives but they are constantly posing in front of things like they are living exciting lives.

I found a gem. My wife barely knows how to work her phone, doesn't do anything on the internet and doesn't feel like she is missing out on anything important.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

I find this very interesting.

Why? Is it internet porn? Is it because abortion isn't an option like it used to be? I noticed this with my younger nephew. Him and his friends are not getting laid and they are 18 year olds. Some of them have girlfriends but most do not.

In the past 25% of kids were not having sex. Today it's closer to 50%.
Whatever the reason, I think it's great. Fewer unwanted children. Fewer people in a world already overpopulated.

Even married people are having less sex.

people in their 20s - are more likely to have been celibate in adulthood and that they are on track to have fewer lifetime sexual partners than either Boomers or Gen Xers have had.

You would think dating apps make it easier but For some people, they obviously work really well. Very quickly, they've become the leading way to meet partners. But for others, they can be really demoralizing and a huge time suck.

It seems like in a fairly short period of time, we've just become a bit less comfortable sort of striking up conversations in real life.

A really robust body of research shows that health and happiness tend to lead to a good sex life or a happy sex life and the reverse as well. And I think that if something is going on in our culture that is making intimacy - both physical intimacy and, really, I would say, more importantly, emotional intimacy - more fraught and more elusive, that should be deeply troubling to us.

They're never wrong

Before the pandemic, births had been steadily declining for many years. There were almost 600,000 fewer annual births in 2019 relative to 2007—a 13% reduction.

Who do you trust? Please find me a source that you trust that says kids are having more sex than they used to. Or find me something that contradicts what NPR has said.

That's how I debunk your lies. I do a search.

Fewer births doesn't prove less sex...

Exactly. This is how you easily prove how dumb sheep like sealybobo really are.

 

[initforme]

Fewer births have no effect on anything. Do people actually think this is a concern?

The government does. It's entilement programs are ponzi schemes that are unsustainable without an ever growing population base to tax.

Seriously, this generation is weird. But it may be a good thing. If we are overpopulated, this may be mother natures way of fixing the problem. Or maybe it's something in the food or vaccines we give them. Or maybe young people are becoming more like me. I never wanted to have kids. A lot of my friends who got married and had kids wanted to have kids. They wanted to get married and start a family. Spend a lot on a wedding.

Maybe college and homes being so expensive has made a lot of them not want to be parents.

This may cause problems with our economy and not enough tax payers. Growing pains only instead they'd be called Shrinking pains.

Because physical intimacy and emotional intimacy has been weaponized.

If a guy knocks up a female classmate now he is the source of all the ills in the world....he will lose the next 25 years plus of half his salary. His education is limited if he wants a driver's license or needs one. All for a child that is told their entire life that his/her biological father is a horrible person. This is the result if the teen mother doesn't claim to be sexually harassed or a victim of being r***ed. Because after all he is a heterosexual male....all of "those people" are extremely evil unless they are transgender or strictly homosexual.

Not to mention STDs these days are a lifetime of health problems.

Like I said before please show me a study that proves NPR or this study wrong

People Have Been Having Less Sex--whether They're Teenagers or 40-Somethings

Among the young, social media, gaming and “rough sex” may contribute to this trend

Or is it this study vs your hunch?

Leftists are whiney twats, who are also really ugly, that no one wants to sleep with.

Conservatives are having LOTS of sex!

Young kids are even masterbating less!

Human sexual activity affects cognitive function, health, happiness and overall quality of life—and, yes, there is also the matter of reproduction. The huge range of benefits is one reason researchers have become alarmed at declines in sexual activity around the world, from Japan to Europe to Australia. A recent study evaluating what is happening in the U.S. has added to the pile of evidence, showing declines from 2009 to 2018 in all forms of partnered sexual activity, including penile-vaginal intercourse, anal sex and partnered masturbation. The findings show that adolescents report less solo masturbation as well.

the proportion of adolescents reporting no sexual activity, either alone or with partners, rose from 28.8 percent to 44.2 percent among young men and from 49.5 percent in 2009 to 74 percent among young women.

We need more studies to tell us why. But for young people, computer games, increasing social media use, video games—something is replacing that time. During that period from 2009 to 2018, different types of social media emerged. This is always evolving, especially for younger people.

We don’t expect there to be one explanation or one driver in these decreases. We fully expect that there are multiple things going on for different age groups, different partnership status, different genders. You don’t need those individual pieces to explain a big part of a notable decrease, but … each one [might] explain a percentage point or two.

So abortion not being available in red states may explain a couple percentage points. Porno might explain some of it. But even masturbation is down. What's wrong with today's youth? It may be they are unhappy.

Nothing explains it better than my post

Nonsense. But that could explain away a couple percentage points. My nephew says college is full of WOKE bitches. Plus boys don't want to get Me Too'ed. So there may be SOME truth to what you are saying. Except for conservatives are having LOTS of sex. That's a joke.

So are conservatives practicing safe sex? I thought condoms were bad?

Or are all conservatives married? Sorry but even married people are having less sex. More than single people but less than in the past.

Are conservatives having pre marital sex? Not very conservative of them.

Good! We dont need those silly fuckers reproducing.

Nah, you are never around conservatives. I am. They are much happier than almost every leftist I know. MUCH happier.

Their women are prettier too.

And of course they are. Unless their religion says no. But even there it happens a lot.
