Millennials Having Less Sex

[Anonymous]

According to this, I am part of this demographic, but I was never too lazy to work or to get laid.

It is a cliche of sex and sexuality that each new generation shocks the last. Since time im memoriam society has been constantly becoming more liberal, having more sex, with more people and in more outlandish ways; leaving the generation above clutching its pearls and expressing horror at the debauched youth they have raised.



Edwardians shocked their Victorian parents with open marriages. Then they became scandalised themselves by their own children who became the first generation in the fifties to make the contraceptive pill mainstream. Then the mid-century enfant terribles later became parents themselves and were shocked by LGBT identities in the 1980s and 1990s.



Millennials, however, are reversing this trend as one of the first generations on record to actually be having less sex than their parents did at the same age.



Millennials, or Generation Y, are the generation which reached young adulthood around the year 2000. A number of characteristics mark them out: They are saddled with student debt, they came of working age amid a crashing world economy and they use the internet with greater intensity than any other age group. Another characteristic which is increasingly defining them however, is this- they aren't really having much sex.



A recent US Government study found that just 44 per cent of teenage girls have had sex, compared to 58 per cent 25 years ago. For boys, a similar pattern emerged, with 47 per cent having had sex, compared to 69 per cent among their parents when they were at the same age.



In another study, Dr Jean Twenge from San Diego State University and author of 'Generation Me' which examines millennial culture, found that millenials are not only less likely to have had sex, but have fewer sexual partners than their parents' generation at the same age.

Their parents were all skanks.

I don't know if my son is part of that generation or the one after. But I do know he gets lots of action.

Why do you know that?

[RW]

They say they are those born early 1980s to early 2000's or some crap.  I think the 1980s is too early.

Since he was in high school, there has a been a steady flow of girls leaving my place in the morning. The ex tells me it was the same thing at her house.

Maybe they were just studying and fell asleep.

You were letting girls stay the night with him, in your home, when he was in HS? ac_wot

He did what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it. I was the same at that age. I was better at getting girls out in the morning without my mom knowing about it.

It's not my place to tell anyone how to raise their children Herman, but that would only happen in my house over my dead body.

[RW]

Same here.

I can see newer generations sexual habits declining.



I think it's tied to birthrates, which are also declining amongst White Westerners.



No longer are people, men especially, but more and more women also, wanting 6 kids.



I am in that group.  I don't want kids, and don't want women that want or have kids.  As such, sexual relationships are simply maybe not as important as they were generations ago.

Well I'm not terribly surprised because many if not most have no social skills. They hide behind their iPads and iPhones all the time as if it's a rite of passage and their privilege to shut the world out. Some examples - many in the uk were disappointed by the brexit result even tho just 35% of the lazy sots came out to vote while 80% of their parents generation did. Another example, many were disappointed by the 2013 bc election result thinking they could vote via their iPhones rather than casting a physical paper ballot at a physically real structure called a voting booth. Never mind something as physical as sex, many are out of touch with the real world. So when reality hits them it's like a brick thrown in their face.
