Parents used to worry about teens having too much sex, right? Well, meet Generation Z—America’s least sexually active cohort in a century. Yep, Zoomers are officially having less sex than their grandparents did, with nearly 40% of young Californians going sexless throughout the pandemic. You’d think unlimited access to every imaginable kink would spice things up, but they just swipe themselves into isolation.
The reasons are endless and sometimes painfully relatable, from being “anxious and porn-addicted” to simply preferring Netflix to sex flicks. But here’s the kicker: Zoomers aren’t coupling up as much as previous generations. Forget casual sex; we’re looking at a full-blown intimacy recession. So, if you’re wondering why everyone’s on their phones, it’s probably because the hottest action happens onscreen alone right now.
Bonus for My Generation: So, why are millennials not hooking up?
