Young people are having less sex. It's true. We are in the midst of a sex recession. Numerous studies show couples are getting it on less while high school students are staying virgins for longer.
With each study, a host of social evils gets brushed off and one or the other blamed for the emerging international loss of libido. The list includes stress, rates of anxiety, antidepressants, stagnating wages and economic pressures, dating apps, digital distractions like social media and Netflix, sleep deprivation, obesity, vibrators, and, of course, good ol' porn.
Experts studying this decade-long decline say they're "staggered at how little sex Americans are having - including the Millenials."
"Several factors are likely to explain the declines, but one may be the sheer pace of modern life," a British study that came out this week noted.
It found the decline in sexual frequency coincided with two events - the introduction of the iPhone in 2007 and the global recession of 2008.
