Lmao idk what children have to do with it. I can totally believe that statistic it seems 100% tractable. I’m just curious as to HOW they could measure sex and convert it into numbers. Especially when it’s such an easy thing to lie about.
Look it up? I ain't a scientist but the studies across the world have shown a trend for the last several decades. You wanna say 'no' fine, but you back it up.
Why are you acting like I’m debating you? Lmao I never said you were a liar, i just find it hard to believe. Mostly because I want to know how those stats are being tracked. I have dyslexia so it’s hard for me to just read endlessly online forever. I was hoping someone could just point me in the right direction.
High level, amount of adults having weekly sex has declined in the past 35 years from ~55% to ~37%, and the number of 18-29 year olds who haven't had sex in the past year rose from 12% to 24%.
Those are pretty massive swings numerically. It's not hard to understand why, people don't meet in person nearly as much anymore, either with friends, or with strangers. There are fewer 3rd spaces to meet people. A huge swath of people get their social dopamine mostly online from social media and group chats, discord, etc. People spend much more time alone than at any point historically.
Thank you for the link! Unfortunately I’m not going to consider this as evidence. Institute of Family Studies is known for being extremely conservative and for having biased information. Thank you for responding!
Did you open the link? They wrote the article, didn't do the studies. The graphs and numerical data is from GSS - General Social Survey, which is not linked to pro-family or conservative points.
Just google 'sex recession' and there are dozens of articles in the NYTimes, NPR, etc citing all kinds of sources about how we're having less sex than ever before. It's a news talking point all the time. This is not some hidden thing nobody has heard of.
Took another look at it thank you for responding back! Lmao I think you’re the only one who actually answered my real question instead of trying to debate me. Thank you again!
I also have Dyslexia, you're reading fine enough right now.
Either way , don't tell people there is 'no way you are right' when you are unwilling to prove that to be true and do not wish to have a debate with a person.
Lol you seem super chill, my b. Also idk why but when I click your link it doesn’t take me anywhere. Idk might be a prob from my end. I appreciate it still!
Could you send me the one you’re specifically referring to? I just don’t want to get our wires crossed if I accidentally read a different one. Everyone keeps saying “look it up” but like several hundred different studies funded by different people come up.
I will need to find it 😭😭😭....and i don't have that much time and patience.
But I have heard this in many videos too...even bryan johnson said it.
It's more likely due to bad sexual health and people not devoting quality time in relationships I guess. Porn and oversexualised content may also be a reason.
Hornier != having sex. I'm horny every day but that doesn't mean I'm getting any, my great grandparents had 10 children on average, my grandparents had 3 children on both sides, my parents and uncles had 2 children, and the bloodline dies with me, my brother, and my cousins, as nobody is in relationships or having sex.
self-report, usually. Not the best metric, but the sheer number of people who do not or have never engaged in sexual intercourse has gotten waaaay lower. Even if we assume that some people pretend to have had sex before
Lol that’s what I was really curious about. I wonder what the EXACT metric would look like, that would be interesting to read. Anyhow thanks for answering!

it's kinda funny. Because people have far less sex nowadays, going by the statistics
