These are the possible causes and consequences of the apparent drop in sexual activity over time
Young people are also easy on the eye. Imagining and depicting them having sex is a surefire tease; it draws eyeballs; it sells product; it excites moral and carnal passions. Conservative folk may use the trope as a warning against decaying cultural norms, while the Liberal crowd may use it to socially signal their open-mindedness. Parents of all stripes may find their myriad anxieties embodied in the dangers of sex—the unwanted pregnancies, the STIs, the heartbreak.
Rates of sexual activity across the board have been trending downward. Writes Belinda Luscombe in TIME magazine : “According to the General Social Survey… by the National Opinion Research Council at the University of Chicago since 1972, the fraction of people getting it on at least once a week fell from 45 percent in 2000 to 36 percent in 2016.” The decline in sex, moreover, appears to be driven mostly by those supposedly horny, reckless, hook-upping young people.
