And it's a hard sell to get a girl at a bar/club to come back to your mom's house.

I like the Bourne Ultimatum theory better. We peaked there and will never achieve that high again!

Meaningful if you're looking for predictors on birth rates, I suppose. Usually I see studies like this used to explain why populations start to decline.

Not every study has to be about everything, there's plenty of interesting things this tells us.

Lots of follow up studies too, are gen z women the same or do they all go for older guys or the same guy? Is this trend tied with sexual identity, how do men feel about it, do porn habits correlate, how does it split demographically and economically....

Doing a study on all these factors would be huge and expensive, getting a good data point to inform future study design is a vital step.

But yeah look up the paper I bet they asked more than one question and have a methodology based on sound principles trying to increase understanding of a complex subject.

It's confirmed.

The Bourne Ultimatum turned men gay.

Right, like what's the point in excluding this data? I guess it's probably safe to assume if you had sex under 18 you probably have had sex after 18 but still odd that it's like that.

ugh i hate the word "females". why not just say "women"

This is also around the time smartphones came out. Wait, were the boomers right?

Also, social media is a major contributor to the isolation epidemic going on, as is the economic situation and the work culture of countries like the US.

So what I'm saying is, you're probably right on all accounts.

I saw a great video once that went into how the economic situation is largely responsible for the cultural shift from "adult" as a thing you are to "adulting" - a thing you do. That from Millenials onwards, generations don't feel economically secure enough to partake in traditional cultural norms of middle-class adulthood. Things like buying a house and popping out 2.5 kids.

I am not going to figure out/imagine how many years ago was that, nope, no way, I know better.

Mass adoption of cellphones, social media, streaming services and the destruction of third spaces. Endless entertainment, decreased socialization.

People have been fucking while living with their parents for most of humanity. That's not the problem, at least in terms of first experiences.

When most people have to worry about their rent & food everyday of their life while working for ludicrous amounts of time every week, having a family or relationships in general just look like more expenses for the individual. It's not an issue only men face either.

I'm pretty sure ex-President Clinton has a daughter who looks very similar to him.

If you don't fuck for 12 years, your virginity grows back.

If your friend can hold it for 2 more years then they can get a movie made about them.
